Tubes
Rinse, drain and dry tubes after washing. Place tubes on a tray allowing the ends to remain open. Do not bend tubes.
Wrapped/bagged items
Place the bags on trays allowing adequate space in-between bags.
Ensure that packs do not touch the walls of the chamber.
Place sterilization bags with the paper side facing up.
Paper side up
Space between bags
Never place the load or the trays directly into the chamber without the chamber rack as this could affect the steam and
temperature distribution. The load must always be supported by the chamber rack.
Before touching, ensure the sterilization chamber is cold: risk of burns!
Partial loads
If the chamber is just partially loaded, place the load in such a way that the space in-between the trays
is maximized (see example with three trays on the left).
