Do not take this as âno need to care about sterilisationâ, but when youâre removing stuff, usually well sanitised is more than enough, since youâll then allow the body to expel anything else, and you can pound down on antiseptic balms.
I donât want to speak for what other people were thinking, but when you said less than 50c what came to mind was eBay purchases of unknown origin.
With that image, I can see why people were worried. With the context of just small quantities from a medical supply company, Iâd be a lot more comfortable in believing the claims of sterility. (Not a doctor, just an idiot with a keyboard, do not take this as advice, if erection lasts longer than 4 hours seek treatment)
Just to be very clear about sterile packaging. The pouches things come in are DESIGNED to be full of holes. The paper backing MUST be full of holes to allow the sterilant INTO the INSIDE of the sterilization pouch. But once sterilized and removed from the processor (autoclave or EO chamber or whatever), those holes immediately work against you and can easily allow bacteria and viruses right on into the pouch if not handled extremely carefully. This is why we do not just shuffle around our inventory after receiving it from the EO processor⊠it is bagged and sealed and we leave our products in those bags until kitting, which is when we put them (while wearing gloves) into the kit poly bag and seal that up⊠and then put a sticker on that to tell customers not to open it until install day⊠all that is to minimize contamination through that shitty fishnet of a paper backing.
Things that can ruin sterilization;
touching with bare skin (skin oils easily penetrate the paper, dragging in germs with it)
getting it even remotely damp (water vapor further destroys the paper and drags germs in)
thermal cycling (even small changes in air temperature of only 10 degrees is enough to force air in and out of the pouch through the paper, like itâs breathing⊠and itâs breathing in germs)
looking at it wrong (your dirty eyes are only exceeded by your dirty thoughts)
So yeah, being sent a hodge-podge of shit just jumbling around on your desk⊠it is definitely getting contaminated.
Iâd mostly be worried about the dirty sex orgy they had on top of their giant pile of these in their warehouse before they even got carelessly tossed into the box.
We have this here in Finland, only the government dropped the ball and decided to delegate this to private banks. Iâm not comfortable at all knowing my bank knows whenever I log onto my employerâs HR thing to log my hours, or onto the tax officeâs website, or onto the population registry, or customs⊠Anything I do that involves strongly identifying myself, my banks knows, even if theyâre not involved. Thatâs disturbing.
As for what goes wrong: if you lose of break your phone, you get to pay âŹ4.50 to have the app reinstalled. The app is secured by a 4-digit pin only - no TFA here, especially if your phone is stolen. You canât run it on a rooted phone.
Germany wants the government to do all this. Itâs better than banks, but governments are notoriously bad at securing IT stuff.
Yeah, thatâs a major yikes. Not being able to run a basic governmental function on a rooted phone (or a phone running an OS of my choosing) is a big issue. Thatâs also giving preferential treatment to phone manufacturers and software companies with a major market share.
That concept scares the absolute shit out of me. Thatâs a lot of knowledge and information to have in the hands of private business (banks) or the government.
