WARNING! HYDROGEN PEROXIDE IS CORROSIVE
Hydrogen peroxide is corrosive to skin, eyes, nose, throat, lungs, and
gastrointestinal tract and to all the body. Please always wear latex PVC
(vinyl), or nitrile gloves while you loading a cartridge. Or when you remove
the used cartridge. Please always wear the gloves when you remove the

canceled cycles. But if you cancel the safe-mode cycle or the load show
any visible moisture or liquid, that might be hydrogen peroxide. So please
be careful when this happened.
WARNING! HYDROGEN PEROXIDE IS AN OXIDIZER
Hydrogen peroxide is an oxidizer. So avoid allowing hydrogen peroxide
to contact any organic material, including paper, cotton, wood, any oil,
lubricants. The hydrogen peroxide is a strong oxidizer and it can react
with organic materials, it is not ammable itself, but it can be the cause
of re or ignition.
WARNING! RISK OF EYE INJURY
If hydrogen peroxide directly contacts with eyes, it can cause irreversible
tissue damage.
If contact with eyes occurs, immediately ush with a large amount of
water and consult with a physician immediately.

At the end of the cycle, the interior of the sterilizer, the chamber, may be
hot. Do not touch inside the chamber with bare or gloved hands. Allow
the sterilizer to cool before touching interior surfaces.
CAUTION! AVOID EXPOSURE TO ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT
There is a sight glass on the door of the device in some models. Do not
stare at the chamber through sight glass during the plasma stage.
Personal Protective Equipment
CAUTION: RISK OF HYDROGEN PEROXIDE CONTACT
Always wear latex, PVC (vinyl), or nitrile gloves whenever handling a
cartridge. Or when a cycle has been canceled and also the safe-mode cycle
has been canceled wear gloves to remove the items from the chamber.

Device Overview
Intended Use
Sterilization Cycle
The PS-140 has two types of sterilization cycles.
- Standard (Short) cycle
- Lumen (Long) cycle
The type of cycle will be chosen by the operator. Both cycles will guarantee
a Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 106respective to the types of loads that
can be sterilized in the chosen cycle.
These are the cycle steps for both short and lumen cycles:
After the cycle started:
1.Hydrogen peroxide will be pumped from the cartridge into the vaporizer.
2.The hydrogen peroxide will be concentrated in the vaporizer.
3.The chamber will be vacuumed.
4.Hydrogen peroxide vapor will be injected into the chamber.
5.All the items inside the chamber exposed to concentrated hydrogen per-
oxide vapor.
6.The pressure inside the chamber will be increased.
7.The chamber will be vacuumed and plasma phase will be applied in the
chamber.
8.All the steps above will be repeated one more time.
