We also measured the amount of residual
formaldehyde on five medical devices following
sterilization. Residual formaldehyde was detected on four pieces of equipment, but not on the
tweezers.These four types of equipment are, in
principle, disposable products; however, they are
often re-used following sterilization in hospitals.
When LTSF is used for sterilization, it is necessary to
confirm that formaldehyde residues remain below
certain levels, in addition to complete sterilization
and without affecting the functional integrity of the
equipment. At present, there are no standardized
safety criteria regarding the level of formaldehyde
residues on sterilized medical equipment
