2.6. Autoclave
To autoclave an unused pump chamber we recommend the following steps.
1. Removal of pump chamber from packaging
2. Close in and outlet of the pump e.g. by connecting hoses. Ensure that a free interchange of
gas and steam over a sterile barrier (e.g. sterile filter) at in- and outlet is available.
3. Autoclaving of the prepared pump chamber in a vacuum autoclave at max. 130°C (266°F) for
max. 30 min. Follow instructions of the autoclave manufacturer.
4. After cooling down, the screws of the membrane housing cover and the connectors should be
verified and retorqued if necessary. The corresponding screws are marked and shown in the
attached picture.
2.7. Gamma Irradiation
The single use pump chamber can be gamma irradiated with a maximum dose of 50 kGy.
