Any kind of corrosion will lead to rust on steel. Rust particles can
be transferred from one instrument to another, therefore, remove
corroding instruments from service to prevent formation of rust on other
instruments.
Protect sharp cutting edges and fine working ends of inserts during all
maintenance procedures. Avoid loading heavy items on top of delicate
and hollow instruments.
Diagnosing Spots and Stains: It is common for instruments to become
stained or spotted. Adhering to proper technique during cleaning and
sterilizing procedures will prevent most staining occurrences. The
following identifies some of the various instrument-related problems
hospitals may encounter.
• Brown Stains: Detergents containing polyphosphates may dissolve
copper elements in the sterilizer resulting in brown stains. A dull blue
or brown stain is the result of oxidation on the surface.
• Black Stains: Black stain may be the result of contact with ammonia.
• Light or Dark Spots: Spots are often the result of the mineral content
in the water used for rinsing, use of non-neutral instruments or an
unclean sterilizer chamber.
• Rust Deposits: It is very unlikely for surgical grade steel to rust. Rust
colored spots usually appear in localities where water has high iron
content.
