WARNING
• The results of sterilization depend on various factors such as how the
sterilized instrument was packed or the positioning, method of placing
and loading of the instrument in the sterilization device. Please verify the
sterilization effects by using biological or chemical indicators. Also follow
the guidelines for sterilization issued by medical administrative
authorities, public organizations or the infection management sections
at each medical facility, as well as the instruction manual of the
sterilization device.

Sudden changes in temperature may damage the instruments.
Follow the guidelines of the medical facility when steam sterilizing. Operate the steam sterilizer in
accordance with the steam sterilizer instruction manual or with the maker instructions.
