Introduction
Sterilant and Cassette
The sterilant used in the STERRAD NX Sterilizer is hydrogen peroxide.
It is supplied in cassette form as a separate accessory.
The cassette shell is made of white, high impact polystyrene. Each
cassette encapsulates 10
individually sealed cells. Each of the filled cells
of the cassette contains 1800 µl (±50 µl) of 59% nominal hydrogen
peroxide. Each sterilization cycle uses two cells; therefore, a cassette can
process five sterilization cycles.
Hardware
The hardware for the sterilizer consists of a sterilization chamber and a
variety of instruments and components which are housed in a covered
frame. The sterilizer system also uses accessories such as a disposable
sterilant cassette, reusable instrument trays, printer paper, and an optional
movable cart. The STERRAD NX Sterilizer can be placed directly on a
table, counter top, or on the movable cart.
Software
The sterilization process is controlled automatically by software. The
software controls and monitors the hardware through digital and analog
signals. Functions managed by software include:
♦
Time
♦
Temperature/pressure measurement and control.
♦
Sterilant delivery and vaporization.
♦
Plasma power generation and measurement.
♦
Hydrogen peroxide monitor
♦
Access to chamber through lock-controlled door.
