Sterilization cycles
Wrap items with porous wrapping materials to facilitate steam
penetration and drying (e.g. sterilization bags for autoclaves).
Always use the chamber rack to allow adequate steam
circulation.
Follow these requirements:
Load type
Placement
Hinged instruments (e.g.,
forceps, extraction pliers, etc.)
In open position
Tubes
Place tubes on a tray allowing the ends to remain
open. Do not bend tubes.
Cassettes
Cassettes can be placed vertically or horizontally
into the chamber rack (vertical placement
enhances drying). When placing cassettes
horizontally, slide them into the rack position
without putting them on trays (if size allows) to
enhance drying. When sterilizing double-decker
cassettes, place them in the lowest rack position
as there is more space height-wise.
Pouched items
On trays allowing adequate space in-between
bags. Ensure that packs do not touch the walls of
the chamber. Place sterilization pouched items
with the paper side facing up.
Load type
Placement
Empty containers or non-
perforated trays
Upside down to prevent accumulation of water
Items made from different
materials (stainless steel,
carbon steel, aluminum, etc.)
On separate trays or wrapped/pouched
Instruments manufactured
from carbon steel
Place paper among them and the trays to avoid
rusty spots
PARTIAL LOAD
If the chamber is just partially loaded, place the load in such a way
that the space in-between the trays is maximized. Spread items
evenly on multiple trays. Below is a example with three trays.
