All of the following objects may undergo flash sterilization EXCEPT:
  1. An essential instrument that became contaminated during a procedure
  2. Only porous items
  3. A complete tray set that has been contaminated with gross blood
  4. A small, unwrapped instrument set
Explanation
Answer: C-A complete tray set that has been contaminated with gross blood should not undergo flash sterilization. This method of sterilization is used for items that are clean and unwrapped.
