AWith transplant surgeries

DDuring all general surgical cases

✓ Correct answer: C. Only when there is no other alternative is available These sterilizers are typically located just outside the operating suite. They are typically used only when there is no other alternative. Unwrapped items coming from the immediate-use sterilizers will be wet because there is no drying cycle for unwrapped items. The term flash sterilizer has been replaced with the term immediate-use sterilizer.
