Explain the cleaning process

Hi Marie Stopes South Africa. Can someone who is a qualified clinician explain in detail how ***** speculums are cleaned ? I’m talking about going into detail from step 1 all the way through to the final step. I know infection prevention is a priority at the Centre but it’s important for places that offer women wellness services to be completely transparent about their processes. And since autoclaving is the number one way to achieve sterility , I’d like to know how the autoclave process works from which brand of machinery is used, to the temperature as well as whether the speculums are packed in a specific protective pouch or not.

Thank you

Can someone kindly reply ? I wouldn’t be asking this question if I didn’t feel like I had picked up an infection from a Marie stopes Centre. I’m terrified I did. And I need answers.
