Preparing the sterilization material
Cleaning and disinfection must always have been performed before sterilization. Only in this way is it pos-
sible to guarantee the subsequent sterilization of the sterilization material. The materials used, the clean-
ing fluid and treatment procedures used are of decisive significance.
Comply with the following specifications before loading:
u
Clean, disinfect and dry the instruments before every sterilization.
u
Comply with the specifications of the manufacturer’s cleaning and care information when
decontaminating the sterilization material. Only so is it possible to guarantee correct cleaning and
disinfection and subsequent sterilization.
u
Never place the sterilization material together in blocks, as this will prevent heat equalization.
u Do not place the sterilization material on cellulose, as this can result in a heat build-up.
u
Always pack the sterilization material in aluminium containers. Stainless steel is unsuitable due to its
reduced heat conductivity. Do not use any textiles, paper or polyamide film as packaging. This
packaging is unsuitable for high sterilization temperatures.
Loading the dry-heat sterilizer
Only when correctly loaded is effective sterilization and good drying possible. Ensure the following during
loading:
u
Insert trays or cassettes in the chamber only with their appropriate mount.
u When loading, ensure that air can circulate around the instruments unhindered. Do not load the trays
or standard tray cassettes one-sided and do not stack the sterilized equipment.
