ITEMS TO BE STERILIZED
(Always consult the item manufacturer’s recommen-
dations for sterilization.)
270°F (132°C) /
27.1 psi (186 kPa)
Sterilize for 3
minutes
30 minute Dry*
• Instruments loose on a tray.
• Open glass or metal canisters.
• Tubing not used in surgical procedures.
• Loose items manufacturers recommend
for exposure at 270°F (132°C).
The sterility of unwrapped items is compromised
on exposure to a non-sterile environment.
270°F (132°C) /
27.1 psi (186 kPa)
Sterilize for 5
minutes
30 minute Dry*
• Pouched or loosely wrapped instruments. • Mul-
tiple layers of instruments separated by
fabric.
• Wrapped trays of loose instruments.
• Tubing not used in surgical procedures.
• Wrapped items manufacturers recom-
mend for exposure at 270°F (132°C).
250°F (121°C) /
15 psi (104 kPa)
Sterilize for 30
minutes
30 minute Dry*
• Textiles and surgical packs wrapped for
sterilization.
• Items, except liquids, manufacturers
recommend for exposure at 250°F (121°C)
for 30 minutes.
270°F (132°C) /
27.1 psi (186 kPa)
Sterilize for 6
minutes
30 minute Dry*
• Dental handpieces
NOTE
Verify acceptability of sterilization parameters with
handpiece manufacturer.
Programmable
User Defined
230°F (110°C) to
275°F (135°C)
6 PSI (41 kPa) to
31 PSI (214 kPa)
3 min. to 90 min.
• Items appropriate for user’s defined parameters.
CAUTION
All material run in these cycles must
be validated by the user.
These programmable functions allow
you to set different time and temperature pa-
rameters. It is important to properly coordi-
nate sterization temperature with cycle time.
Permitted temperature range for proper steril-
ization is 250°- 275°F (121°- 135°C). Tem-
peratures below 250°F (121°C) should only
be used for disinfection.
Items with long small diameter tubular canals
(complex lumens), e.g. dental handpieces,
scopes, etc. should not be processed for less
than 6 minutes at 270°F (132°C).
