Cleaning Instruments

Follow item manufacturer’s and OSHA recommendations for handling and

cleaning items.

• As soon as possible after use, remove all material or residue accumulated

during use.

• Rinse items thoroughly to complete removal of material and residue.

• Dry items completely.

Guidelines For Loading the M9 / M9D or M11 / M11D

• Refer to manufacturers’ recommendations for loading their items.

• Refer to cassette manufacturers’ recommendations for using their cassettes.

• Pouch or wrap items to preserve sterility after processing. Use only sterilizer

pouches and wraps that have been cleared by the FDA and labeled for use

with the steam sterilization cycles being used. Do not wrap items too tightly.

Sterilization will be compromised if an item is excessively wrapped.

NOTE

Use only FDA cleared chemical & biological indicators designed for steam sterilization

that are compatible with the particular sterilization cycle temperature and exposure

time being monitored. Use sterility monitors with each sterilization load. If a sterilizing

cycle is terminated prematurely, reprocess instruments to ensure sterility of the load.

DANGER

Clean and dry instruments before putting them into sterilizer.

Incomplete and improper cleaning of instruments will impede steril-

ization and could result in non-sterile instruments which could lead to personal

or fatal injury.

WARNING

Do not overload the chamber. Adequate space is required around

items in trays for steam circulation and drying. Failure to allow ade-

quate space will compromise sterilization and drying. Do not run the Sterilizer

without the Tray Rack in place.

EQUIPMENT ALERT

Trays must be used at all times when operating this sterilizer, seri-

ous equipment damage could result.
