General Precautions
• These sterilization parameters are valid only with equipment properly maintained and calibrated.
• Sterilization cycle times and efficacy vary depending on equipment, wrapping, and load configuration.
The instructions provided above have been validated by the medical device manufacturer as being CAPABLE of preparing a
medical device for re-use. It remains the responsibility of the processor to ensure that the processing as actually performed
using equipment, materials and personnel in the processing facility achieve the desired result. This requires validation and
routine monitoring of the process. Likewise any deviation by the processor from the instructions provided should be properly
evaluated for the effectiveness and potential adverse consequences.
