Soaking instruments; using labels; peel pack placement

[...]should there be a biohazard bag inside the container, sprayed with the transport gel instead of liquid? I know their process is not correct and I would like some advice on what the best practice is for handling these instruments to ensure the safety of the patients as well as the staff. Placing uncleaned items in a disinfectant soak is of course ineffective and a waste of money. Even a biological indicator doesn't guarantee a package's sterility - it confirms the parameters of sterilization were achieved and if all the variables of reprocessing, packaging and loading were satisfied then there is confidence that sterility of a package and its contents were achieved.
