The chapter on “Preparing Items To Be Sterilized” in the
STERRAD 100S Sterilization System User’s Guide contains infor-
mation about recommended materials; it lists items that can be
sterilized in the STERRAD 100S Sterilizer and gives important
details on cleaning, packaging, load preparation, etc.

Do not change the power source without checking the electrical
phase rotation. Prior to relocating the STERRAD 100S Sterilizer to a
new power source, electrical phase rotation should be checked by a
qualified technician. Failure to verify and match phase rotation may
cause damage to the sterilizer and voids the warranty.
•
Do not leave the sterilizer unplugged or turned off for longer than 24
hours. If you plan to disconnect the sterilizer for any lengthy of time,
call the ASP Customer Care Center for instructions.
