The table below, which presents the characteristics of the individual sterilization
programs in the Enbio S device, should be read in detail. It is the user's
responsibility to select the program appropriate to the type of load and not to
exceed the maximum weight of the sterilized load. Failure to comply with the
following rules may endanger the health of patients and the operation of the device.

* Ambient temperature can have an effect on increasing the total process
time.
* The total duration of the first process may be longer due to the need for the
appliance chamber to warm up.
** After sterilization at 134°C FAST the loads are wet. It is recommended to
leave the drawer ajar in order to evaporate the remaining water and to lower
the temperature of the instruments.
** After sterilization in the 134°C FAST program, the instruments are intended
for immediate use.
