Typical Sterilization Procedures
CAUTION:
Do not use dry heat or chemical
sterilization or damage to the parts
may result.
WARNING:
These items are not sterile when
shipped to the customer. Before use
they must be sterilized using steam
or ethylene oxide (EtO).
All parts are fabricated from the highest
quality aluminum, stainless steel and
plastic, and are designed to withstand
high temperatures:
•Steam sterilization (autoclave):
Use the normal cycle (250 degrees F or
121 degrees centigrade at 15 psi for 15
to 30 minutes) or the ash cycle (270
degrees F or 132 degrees centigrade
at 30 psi for 3 to 12 minutes).
•Ethylene oxide (EtO) sterilization:
Use cycle and aeration times recom-
mended by the manufacturer of the
Sterilizer or use those determined at
the hospital.
Exterior cleaning should be done with
a soft brush and a cloth. Gently brush
all surfaces to remove dirt and dust. To
remove any remaining dirt, use a cloth
slightly dampened with a solution of mild
detergent and water or a liquid disinfect-
ing agent.
