Load Preparation
The STERRAD
®
100NX
®
Sterilizer is designed for sterilization of both
metal and nonmetal medical devices at low temperatures. The STERRAD
®
sterilization process is a multiphase sterilization process that utilizes a
combination of exposure to hydrogen peroxide vapor and plasma to safely
sterilize medical instruments and materials without leaving toxic residue.
Because the cycle operates within a dry environment and at low temperatures,
it is especially suitable for instruments sensitive to heat and moisture.
CAUTION: KNOW WHAT YOU CAN PROCESS
Before processing items in the sterilizer, make sure you know how the STERRAD
®
Sterilization Process will affect the item. When constructing your load, the total
weight of the load to be sterilized should not exceed the load requirements for the
specific cycle. If you have questions, or if you are in doubt about the materials in your
devices, contact the medical device manufacturer or your ASP Customer
Representative for more information.
CAUTION: RISK OF VIOLATION OF WARRANTY
Improper processing may limit our liability for damage to processed instruments.
Improper processing may also void your instrument warranty.
Load Weight Requirements
The weight of the items to be sterilized must conform to the weights used for
validating the sterilizer processes. These weights are listed in the following
table. The weight of the load depends on the cycle selected and whether one
or both shelves are used.
