Answer to Question 1

ANS: F
Closed containers with nonvented bottoms may retain some condensate after processing. The retained moisture is not considered contamination because the container is sealed and impermeable to capillary action. The condensate is considered sterile.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: F
Once the sterilizer door is opened, the load of wrapped instruments is not touched and is left to dry for 15 to 60 minutes. Packages are then unloaded onto a surface containing mesh shelves padded with an absorbent material. Warm packages placed on a solid, cold surface may become damp from steam condensation and will become contaminated by strike-through.
