Loading the Sterilizer Chamber
Loading Guidelines
1.
When processing wrapped goods, fabrics and
dressings, always place items in one of the three
upper positions in the chamber. Processing items
in the bottom position could possibly result in wet
packs and unsterile goods.
2.
Do not exceed the specified loads for a cycle:
Unwrapped Goods - no more than 14 lbs
Wrapped Goods - no more than 14 lbs in no more
than 12 small cassettes or 4 large cassettes
Packs - no more than 2.8 lbs and no more than 14
towels
Liquids - flasks filled no more than 75% full.
3.
Do not overload the sterilizer. Steam penetrates
best with loosely packed loads.
4.
Do not allow packs or wrappings to touch chamber
walls or one another.
5.
Leave adequate space between trays to allow
steam circulation.
6.
Do not stack trays on top of one another.
7.
Use a process monitor in each load. We also rec-
ommend that you use a biological indicator at
weekly intervals. An indicator containing Bacillus
stearothermophilus is the proper indicator for
steam sterilizers.

Warning
Use only self-venting, automatic
sealing stoppers when processing
liquids or media. Use of other
stoppers or seals, or lack of stop-
pers, will create the possibility of
burns or injury from boiling liquids
and exploding flasks.
If media is processed, bottles and
tubes should contain no more
than 3/4 the total volume of the
container. When processing water
bottles and test tubes, the bottles
and tubes should contain no more
than 3/4 the total volume of the
container. Chamber should be
cleaned daily when processing
media.
Sterilized liquids are for
non-clinical applications.
Caution
Packs must be centered in the
chamber. Do not allow packs to
touch the sterilizer chamber's
walls. Allowing packs to touch the
sterilizer chamber's walls may cre-
ate an overheat condition.
