4.12 Removing the sterilized items _________________________________________
CAUTION!
Danger of burns from hot metal surfaces.
Be careful when removing the sterilized items! Touching the metal surfaces can
lead to burns. Always use the appropriate aids to lift the trays (MELAG tray lever,
standard tray-lifter) or wear suitable hand protection.
Note the following with regard to the door:
During and after a running program, the round blank in particular can become
hot. Never touch the round blank directly. Hold the door by the door grip to open
it.
Unwrapped sterilized items can be removed immediately after a successful sterilization cycle.
If the sterilized items are wrapped, please also follow the hints in the next section.
4.13 Drying / Sterile storage ______________________________________________
It is important for sterile storage that the items have been properly dried.
PLEASE NOTE
The steam sterilizer provides very good drying if the steam sterilizer has been properly loaded (see
section 4.3), if the program has not been interrupted before its completion, and the sterilized items have air-
dried after a successful sterilization cycle about 30 minutes when door opened about 5 cm and the preheating
is activated.
Directly after sterilization there may still be residual condensation on the items or the container. Because the
items are hot on removal, this will usually evaporate quickly.
After removing wrapped sterile items, the wrapping should be checked for any signs of damage. If it is defective
(e.g. split seals) then the sterilization of the items must be repeated after the items have been re-wrapped.
After cooling, wrapped sterilized objects should be stored in a place where they are protected from dust (e.g.
instrument cupboard). Given proper storage, DIN 58953-8: 2010 gives the following guidelines for the
maximum storage periods for sterilized objects: in basic wrapping (e.g. transparent sterilization package) up
to 6 months.
