Hi, can someone please explain why instruments used in the post-mortom room should not be sterilised in C.S.S.D.

Dear Fiona,

In question Q00273 you can see some other answers to your question. But the reason for not letting the post-mortem instruments into the CSSD is the risk of introducing CJD into the dept. The post-mortem room is THE place where the biopties are taken. The instruments are definately in close contact with high risk tissue! So they should not be mixed with the other instruments from the hospital.
