11.7. Running Custom Cycles on the 3M™ Steri‑Vac™ Sterilizer/Aerator GSX Series
DANGER: To reduce the risks associated with exposure to ethylene oxide:
Short term exposure limits (STEL) or long term exposure limits (LTEL) or immediately dangerous to life or health (IDLH) limit could be exceeded during NORMAL use Operators and staff
must use protective measures (eg engineering controls, work practices, or personal protective equipment (PPE)) in accordance with United States 29 CFR 1910134 and 29 CFR
19101047 under NORMAL use conditions until the user’s facility management completes an exposure assessment on each custom cycle that validates facility protective measures meet
national, state, and local requirements for short term exposure limits (STELs) and long term exposure limits (LTELs)
Assure Operator selects the correct cycle for the intended application
CAUTION: To reduce risks associated with exposure to potentially non‑sterile devices or inadequate sterilization procedures:
The user must validate the sterile efficacy of each custom cycle intended to sterilize products labeled ‘Sterile’
Assure Operator selects the correct cycle for the intended application
