11.10 Loading and Unloading the Device
11.10.1
Safety
Protective equipment and clothes and other safety instructions
should be implemented in accordance with local and national
regulations and/or rules!
For proper sterilization - Do not overload the chamber. Only
autoclavable products shall be used; please refer to the
manufacturer instructions for sterilization of unknown materials
or instruments.
11.10.2
Loading
Correct loading of the autoclave is essential to successful
sterilizing for several reasons. Efficient air removal from the
chamber and the load will permit effective steam penetration
and saturation, and allow proper drainage of condensate.
Additionally, correct loading will prevent damage to packs and
their contents and maximize efficient use of the sterilizer.
For detailed loading instructions, see sec. 9 (Preparation before
sterilization)
11.10.3
Unloading
On completion of the cycle, take out the load immediately from
the sterilizer. Do not remove the load from the basket until its
temperature reduces to the room temperature. Let the load cool
down in an area without air movement (air conditioning, etc.)
and with minimum people passing by to avoid possibility of
touching the hot load. Do not touch the hot load since hot load
absorbs moister and, therefor, may absorb bacteria from your
hand. Do not transfer hot load to metal shelves for cooling.
Perform a visual inspection to ascertain that sterilizing
indicators have made the required colour change, and that the
load is dry.
The load shall be rejected if:
a. The package has been compressed.
