4. Scan 3M™ Steri-Gas™ EO Gas Cartridge Barcode
DANGER: To reduce the risks associated with exposure to ethylene oxide:
Only use 3M™ Steri-Gas™ EO Gas Cartridges as listed in this manual. Do not use other brands or types of sterilant cartridges.
Do not use damaged 3M™ Steri-Gas™ EO Gas Cartridges.
If an individual 3M™ Steri-Gas™ EO Gas Cartridge is ever dropped, the cartridge should be used immediately or disposed of as described in the cartridge disposal section.
WARNING: To reduce the risks associated with fire and explosion,
use care when handling 3M™ Steri-Gas™ EO Gas Cartridges as they contain 100% Ethylene Oxide (EO) which is an extremely flammable gas and liquid under pressure. Do not use near
flame, electrical sparks, or hot surfaces, or allow sources of ignition near the cartridges. Do not puncture cartridge outside the sterilization chamber. Do not incinerate cartridges. Exposure to
temperatures above 150ºF (65.5ºC) may cause cartridges to burst.
