Safe Maintenance

WARNING! HYDROGEN PEROXIDE MAY BE PRESENT
If white residue is visible on the load; this may be residue from the hydrogen
peroxide stabilizer. Wear chemical resistant latex, PVC (vinyl), or nitrile
gloves when removing a load with visible white residue. White residue can
be minimized by making sure regular Planned Maintenance (PM) procedures
are performed on your sterilizer. The sterilizer will inform you when Planned
Maintenance is due. Please schedule your PM service in a timely manner.
•
Repairs and adjustments should only be attempted by experienced
technicians who are fully trained to maintain and repair the STERRAD 200
Sterilizer.
•
Use of unauthorized parts for maintenance or repair could cause personal
injury, result in costly damage or unit malfunction, and void the warranty.
•
Do not clean the chamber door area with abrasives. The sterilization chamber
uses an O-ring vacuum seal to maintain a vacuum in the chamber. Never use
rough cleaning tools, such as a wire brush or steel wool, on the door housing
or chamber assembly. This could damage the seal.
