Sterilization

may be sterilized using Cidex (per manufacturer’s
instructions), steam or ethylene oxide. Due to the
varying conditions imposed on materials during
sterilization, it is not possible to determine the exact
number of times sterilization processes can be carried
out. Therefore the operator must carefully examine

after sterilization and prior to use to verify that the
