On CSS Nation, Pernell Husband & Harry Mullen finish up talking about the AAMI standards on sections 7.4 to 7.6

Cleaning is the first and most important step in breaking the chain of disease transmission and preparing instruments for use; it is the removal of all foreign material from the device being processed.

AAMI standards provide a clear and detailed rationale behind the step by step process and science of Sterile Processing
