5.6 Steam Sterilization (Autoclaving)
WARNING
• Remove the cap from the water container before sterilizing both of them.
• Before taking the water bottle and cap assembly package out of the
autoclave, let it cool down to room temperature. Otherwise, it may cause
burns.
• Inspect each equipment package for openings, tears, or other damage.
If the equipment package is open or damaged, seal the water bottle or
cap assembly in a new package and resterilize it as described below.
• Allow the packages to dry within the autoclave, using the autoclave's
drying cycle (if available) or by opening the door of the autoclave and
allowing the packages to air-dry. Handling a wet package can
compromise its sterility.
• Always leave space between the packages in the autoclave. If packages
are placed too close together, effective sterilization will not be possible.
