Important Information About Using Your STATCLAVE
Intended Use
The STATCLAVE G4 is a dynamic-air-removal (pre-vacuum) table-top steam sterilizer intended for use
by a health care provider to sterilize medical products by means of pressurized steam.
It is suitable for the sterilization of dental and medical instruments that are validated to be sterilized
by steam. The STATCLAVE G4 has not been designed to sterilize liquid loads, bio-medical waste
or materials not compatible with steam sterilization. The processing of such loads may result in
incomplete sterilization and / or damage to the autoclave.
