What is the recommended frequency for routine testing with a biological indicator PCD for steam sterilization?

  1. Weekly

  2. Monthly

  3. Twice a week

  4. Twice a month

The correct answer is: Weekly

The correct answer is A. Weekly. Routine testing with a biological indicator PCD (Process Challenge Device) for steam sterilization is recommended to be performed weekly. This frequency helps ensure that the sterilization process is consistently effective in killing microorganisms. Regular testing at this frequency allows for early detection of any potential issues with the sterilization equipment or process, helping to prevent the risk of inadequate sterilization. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not align with the recommended frequency for routine testing with a biological indicator PCD for steam sterilization. Monthly, twice a week, and twice a month intervals may not provide a frequent enough assessment of the sterilization process to ensure its effectiveness and safety.
