PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL DRAFT 5 Feb 04
Cold or Gas (Ethylene Oxide) Sterilization
CAUTION:
Do not expose plastic and acrylic to direct radiation from germicidal lamps. Ultraviolet radiation
from these sources can cause cracking and crazing of clear plastic and acrylic.
Prior to gas sterilization, the entire unit should be thoroughly cleaned as described in the cleaning topics
of this section. Remove and discard all disposable elements. New disposable elements should be installed
after sterilization. Standard gas sterilization procedures, as programmed by automatic equipment, are
satisfactory as these do not normally exceed 54.4°C.
After sterilization, perform a complete operational checkout procedure (see "Operational Checkout
Procedure" on page 4-14).
Disassembly for Cleaning
