CLEANING THE INSTRUMENTS BEFORE THE
STERILIZATION
In order to extend the sterilizer life, we recommend to carry out an accurate cleaning of instruments; one of
the main causes of an early equipment wear is the settlement and accumulation of debris and fragments for
inadequately instrument cleaning, and consequent stains, fouling and progressive clogging of filters, electro-
valves and tubing.
