Notes for rubber and plastic tubing
– always rinse before use with pyrogen-free water; do not dry them;
– arrange the tubing on the tray so that their ends are not obstructed or crushed.
– do not bend or wind them, but allow them to lie as straight as possible.
Notes for packets and packages
– arrange packages side-by-side, suitably spaced and absolutely not piled, to avoid their co-
ming in contact with the walls of the chamber.
– Whenever it is necessary to wrap particular objects, always use suitably porous material (ste-
rilization paper, muslin napkins, etc.), closing the wrapping with autoclave adhesive tape.
Notes for wrapped material
– Wrap instruments individually or, when more than one instrument are placed in the same
wrapping, make sure that they are made of the same metal;
– Seal the wrapping with adhesive tape for autoclaves or heat-sealing machines.
– do not use staples, pins or other fasteners since they can compromise the maintenance of
sterility;
– arrange the envelopes so as to avoid forming air pockets that obstruct the correct penetration
and removal of the steam.
– orient the envelopes so as to leave the plastic side up and the paper side down (tray side).
– In any case, check that they are correctly positioned, turning them over, if necessary.
– If possible, place the envelopes edgewise to the tray, with a suitable support.
– Never superimpose envelopes on top of each other.

program selection is fundamental for a successful sterilization process.
Since each instrument, or material in general, has different shape, consistency and properties, it
is important to identify the most suitable program for it , both for preserving its physical cha-
racteristics (avoiding or, at any rate, limiting alterations) as well to guarantee the most effective
sterilization.
a guide to selection of the program suited to the load is given in the
Appendix Programs
