Dear Ronaldo
As a rule sterile supply is to be transported under the same conditions, as it is stored. That is, sterile supply should not be transported on the same cart as contaminated items. In order to keep clean/sterile items separate from contaminated items distribute first the sterile supply, then the soiled material can be returned to the decontamination area in the same cart. Carts must be cleaned prior to reuse for sterile supply delivery.
Best regards
