Answer:

Option E; STERILIZED

Explanation:

Critical medical device means a medical device that penetrates the skin or mucous membranes, enters sterile tissues/vascular system, or enters normally sterile cavities and therefore presents a high risk of infection if the medical device is contaminated with any organisms, including bacterial spores. Example of such instrument is forceps.

Sterilization refers to any process that eliminates, removes, kills, or deactivates all forms of life (fungi, bacteria, viruses) present in a specific surface, object or fluid,

Sterilization is different from other methods like from disinfection, sanitization, and pasteurization, in that those methods reduce rather than eliminate all forms of life and biological agents present.

Critical medical instruments touch sterile tissues and also penetrates the skin, so it has to be sterilized so as to get rid of all contaminants to prevent any risk.

Therefore, instruments that are considered medically "critical" must be STERILIZED.
