9.9 Cleaning Tabletop Autoclaves with Chamber Brite ™
CHAMBER BRITE ™ is a cleaning and descaling agent designed
specifically for the cleaning and removal of water deposits, oxides and
other sediments that are found in steam sterilizers. The material is a
combination of acidic salts and additional cleaning materials. Chamber
Brite ™ autoclave cleaner has been formulated specifically to be a fast,
powerful and easy to use cleaner for steam sterilizers.
If the autoclave is not cleaned regularly, dirt and debris will build up and
clog the tubing and solenoid valves. This dirt can also be transmitted to
the instruments during sterilization. In addition, a layer of dirt on the
stainless steel chamber traps moisture against the metal and will lead to
the chamber becoming porous and failing.
It is recommended that your autoclave be cleaned with CHAMBER
BRITE ™ once per week
Caution!
NEVER use bleach, steel wool, a steel
brush or anything abrasive to scrub or
clean the Chamber.
