Autoclave Cycle
8.2.1
The Xcell ATF systems have been designed to be sterilized using an autoclave.
The XCell ATF System Filter Preparation and Autoclave Guide provides detailed
guidance on the entire procedure including the recommended filter integrity test
procedures and specifications. The features of the recommended cycle are intended
to ensure that the system will be effectively sterilized and that there is minimal
thermal stress imposed on the hollow fiber cartridge that could lead to integrity
failures.
