Recommendation to achieve a perfect
sterilization
The material to be sterilized needs to be clean, free from any encrusted
or residual material, we recommend that they are washed in a good
detergent and distilled water, then rinsed with distilled water.
Do not overload the baskets, drums or trays, always leave a space
of 1 to 2 cm between items to allow a free passage of vapour and to
ease drying.
11.1
Sterilization of instruments in bulk
Place the instruments on a tray with water repellent paper leaving a
space between each instrument.
Try to keep similar type material instruments together on a tray.
11.2
Tubing
The tubing need to be clean and drained. Place the tubing so that the
openings on both ends are open. Make sure that the tubes are not
touching the autoclave wall, blocked or twisted and that nothing can
block the inside.
11.3
Vessels
Never put hermetically sealed vessels in the autoclave.
Place the contents open end down to prevent any residual water being
left inside.
11.4
Liquids
Place the receptacle with the liquid inside on a drip tray, making sure
that the receptacle can withstand the temperature.
Do not fill the receptacle more than 2/3rds of
its maximum capacity,
DO NOT CLOSE THE LID IF IT HAS A HERMETICAL SEALED, only use
a lid if the pressure can be released. (eg. Serotap or Bacti-lid)
Try to avoid using narrow neck vessels.
At the end of the cycle, let the autoclave cool down slowly (until the
pressure is 0 kg/cm²)
