Introduction
How to Use This Guide
If you are a STERRAD®100NX®Sterilizer operator, you must read
the “Safety Information, “ the “Introduction,” “Load Preparation,” and
“Operation” chapters prior to operating the sterilizer. This “Introduction”
explains the features and parts of the sterilizer. “Load Preparation” explains
how to prepare and package instruments for processing. “Operation” explains
how to operate the sterilizer and obtain optimal results.
If you are a supervisor overseeing the STERRAD®100NX®Sterilizer, you
should read the entire user’s guide and pay particular attention to the chapter
featuring “Access Levels and Supervisor Level Tasks.” This chapter describes
tasks and options that are only available through “Supervisor Level” access.
Intended Use
The STERRAD®100NX®Sterilization System is a general purpose,
low temperature sterilizer which uses the STERRAD®100NX®Process to
inactivate microorganisms on a broad range of medical devices and surgical
instruments.
When used as directed by the instructions in this user’s guide, the
STERRAD®100NX®Sterilization System will sterilize both metal and
nonmetal medical devices at low temperatures. Please review “How to
Determine What Can Be Sterilized in the STERRAD®100NX®Sterilizer” in
the “Load Preparation” chapter along with the cycle information to make sure
you follow the directions for processing items in each type of cycle.

1 Introduction
6STERRAD®100NX®User’s Guide
The STERRAD®Sterilization Process
The STERRAD®100NX®Sterilizer sterilizes medical devices by diffusing
hydrogen peroxide vapor into the chamber and then electromagnetiy exciting
the hydrogen peroxide molecules into a low-temperature plasma state. The
combined use of hydrogen peroxide vapor and plasma safely and rapidly
sterilizes medical instruments and materials without leaving toxic residue. All
stages of the sterilization cycle operate within a dry environment at a low
temperature, and thus the cycle is not damaging to compatible instruments
that are sensitive to heat and moisture.
The STERRAD®100NX®Sterilizer can be used for both metal and nonmetal
devices, and can also sterilize instruments that have difficult-to-reach
(diffusion-restricted) spaces, such as hinges on forceps. Refer to the
“Safety Information” chapter for more information on device safety.
The sterilizer consistently provides a Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 10-6,
as defined by U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and international
standards, for clinical use on all allowed substrates within the limits of the

Personal Safety and First Aid
WARNING! HYDROGEN PEROXIDE IS CORROSIVE
Concentrated hydrogen peroxide is corrosive to skin, eyes, nose, throat, lungs, and
the gastrointestinal tract. Always wear chemical resistant latex, PVC (vinyl), or nitrile
gloves while removing items from the sterilizer following a cancelled cycle or if any
moisture is noted on items in the load following a completed cycle.
WARNING! HYDROGEN PEROXIDE IS AN OXIDIZER
Hydrogen peroxide is strong oxidizing agent and poses a hazard for fire, explosion, or
container rupture. Avoid allowing hydrogen peroxide to contact organic materials,
including paper, cotton, wood, or lubricants. Do not use or store near heat or open
flame. Shoes, clothing, or other combustible material that have come into contact with
hydrogen peroxide must be immediately and thoroughly rinsed with water to avoid a
potential fire hazard. In case of fire, use only water to extinguish.
WARNING! RISK OF EYE INJURY
Direct hydrogen peroxide contact with eyes can cause irreversible tissue damage.
If contact with eyes occurs, hold the eyes open and flush with large amounts of water
for at least 15-20 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present, and then continue
rinsing the eyes. Consult a physician immediately after flushing the eyes.

WARNING! RISK OF SKIN INJURY
Direct hydrogen peroxide contact with the skin can cause severe irritation. Wear
chemical resistant latex, PVC (vinyl) or nitrile gloves when handling used cassettes or
ejected cassettes, items from a cancelled cycle, or items that have moisture present
after a completed cycle. Immediately take off contaminated clothing and rinse
thoroughly with water to avoid potential fire hazard and was before re-use.
WARNING! RISK OF RESPIRATORY IRRITATION
Inhalation of hydrogen peroxide mist can cause severe irritation of lungs, throat, and
nose. If inhalation occurs, move to the person to fresh air. If the person is not
breathing, call for emergency medical attention, or an ambulance, then give artificial
respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth, if possible. Consult a physician immediately.
WARNING! CONCENTRATED HYDROGEN PEROXIDE IS TOXIC
Ingestion of hydrogen peroxide may be life-threatening. If swallowed, call a “poison
control” center or physician immediately for treatment advice. Have the person drink
plenty of water if the person is able to swallow. Do not give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. Do not induce vomiting unless instructed to do so by the poison
control center or physician.
WARNING! HEATED STERILIZATION SURFACES
At the end of a cycle, the interior of the sterilizer may be hot. Do not touch the inside
of the chamber or door with your bare or gloved hands. Allow the sterilizer to cool
before touching interior surfaces.
WARNING! AVOID EXPOSURE TO ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT
The hydrogen peroxide monitor uses an ultraviolet light source located inside the
chamber behind the door. To avoid eye injury, do not stare directly at the ultraviolet
light source for an extended period of time.
WARNING! HYDROGEN PEROXIDE MAY BE PRESENT
If white residue is visible on the load, this is residue from the hydrogen peroxide
stabilizer. Wear chemical resistant latex, PVC (vinyl), or nitrile gloves when removing
a load with visible white residue. White residue can be minimized by making sure
regular Planned Maintenance procedures are performed on your system. The system
will inform you when Planned Maintenance is due. Please schedule your PM service
in a timely manner.
