13. Verify that packaging methods are in accordance with the good practice
approach and the packaging materials used are in agreement with applicable
standards.
14. Empty canisters should be placed upsidedown in order to prevent the
accumulation of water.
15. Do not overload the Sterilizer trays. Overloading will cause inadequate
sterilization & drying.
16. Allow a distance of approximately 1" between trays to permit steam
circulation.
17. Wrapped instruments should be placed in material which will allow steam
penetration and promote drying, such as autoclave bag, autoclave paper, or
muslin towels.
18. Do not stack pouches. It is recommended that a pouch rack such as the
Tuttnauer POUCH RACK be used to insure proper steam penetration and
adequate drying. Surfaces that are hidden because the items are being
stacked will not be exposed to the steam and will not be sterilized.
19. Tubing should be rinsed after cleaning. When placed in the tray, make sure
that both ends of the tubing are open and there are no sharp bends or twists.
20. Packs should be placed upright on the tray. They should not be touching
each other or the Chamber walls. There should be about 1” between packs
for proper steam circulation.
