Sterilisation
CAUTION
Risk of infection by residual germs
If any germs are left on the parts that are to be sterilised,
they can proliferate despite sterilisation. As a result, there is
a danger of infection.
• Clean, disinfect, and dry all parts thoroughly before steril-
ising.
• Use only validated procedures for cleaning and disinfec-
tion.
