sterile drape is confirming that the package is sterile. If a package is not clean and dry, it is

the name to another health care person for verification. Remove the lid or cap from the
bottle and place it on an unsterile surface. Hold the bottle with the label uppermost so that
poured solution cannot stain and obscure the label. With as little of the bottle as possible
over the field, hold it at a height of approximately 1 to 2 inches over the bowl so that no
splashing occurs.

than the needed procedure time to prevent transient contamination as a function of time
delays.
