4.6 Techniques of
Sterilization for
Liquid Cycle
Important: It is inappropriate for a healthcare facility to sterilize
liquids for direct patient contact.
Refer to Table 4-2 for recommended Liquid cycle parameters. The
recommended times indicated in Table 4-2 assume the use of
vented bottles. The “minimum sterilization time” includes the time
required to bring the solution up to the sterilize temperature plus the
time required to achieve sterilization.
Table 4-2. Liquid Cycle Processing Guidelines
WARNING – EXPLOSION
HAZARD: This sterilizer is
not designed to process
flammable compounds.
WARNING – PERSONAL
INJURY HAZARD: Avoid
personal injury from
bursting bottles. Liquid
sterilization cycle must
only be used for liquids in
borosilicate (Pyrex) flasks
with vented closures.
WARNING: It is
inappropriate for a
healthcare facility to
sterilize liquids for direct
patient contact.
WARNING – BURN
HAZARD: When sterilizing
liquids, you must observe
the following procedures:
• Use Liquid cycle only.
• Use only vented closures.
• Use only Type I
borosilicate glass bottles.
• Do not allow hot bottles to
be jolted.
Steam may be released
from the chamber when
door is opened. Step back
from the sterilizer each
time the door is opened to
minimize contact with
steam vapor.
CAUTION – POSSIBLE
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE:
Sterilization of chloride-
containing solutions (e.g.,
saline) can cause chamber
corrosion and is not
recommended by the
manufacturer. If, however,
chloride-containing
solutions must be
processed, clean the
chamber after each use.
