
The items to be sterilized are placed on the shelves and the door is closed
using either the close door button on the touch screen or by tapping the
foot pad with your foot. The foot pad is located on the lower portion of
the front panel.
Load information and cycle notes are entered if desired, a cycle is selected
and the chosen cycle is then started. At the conclusion of the cycle the items
are removed and are ready for storage or immediate use.
If the system is equipped with 2 doors, the load is inserted from the input side
and removed from the output side. On 2 door units, the touch screen and door
can be used only from the active side; both doors cannot be opened at the
same time.
Cassette
The cassette contains sealed capsules of hydrogen peroxide solution. Each
cassette has coded information that provides displayed details on the cassette
expiration date, manufacturer, and cell status including cycle completion
information. The sterilizer pulls the cassette through the slot and moves it into
the machine, keeping it there until the cassette has been used.

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.
Following a cancelled cycle, if items in the load show any visible moisture or liquid,
hydrogen peroxide may be present.
