7. PREPARING THE MATERIAL The sterilization process can be considered effective, reliable and repeatable so long as the PREPARING THE material is suitably treated first and then correctly arranged in the sterilization chamber in an MATERIAL orderly manner. INTRODUCTION In fact, it should be emphasized that organic residues or deposits of substances used in medical practice are the inevitable receptacles of microorganisms and may obstruct contact between the steam and the walls of the instrument, deactivating, at least locally, the lethal process that sterilization normally provides.
7. PREPARING THE MATERIAL For handles (turbines, contra-angles, etc.), supplement the above with treatment in suitable dedicated devices that provide effective internal cleaning (occasionally including lubrication).

PREPARING THE MATERIAL Notes for rubber and plastic tubing – Always rinse before use with pyrogen-free water; do not dry them; – Arrange the tubing on the tray so that their ends are not obstructed or crushed. – Do not bend or wind them, but allow them to lie as straight as possible. Notes for packets and packages –...
8. PROGRAM SELECTION Program selection is fundamental for a successful sterilization process. PROGRAM SELECTION Since each instrument, or material in general, has different shape, consistency and properties, it is important to identify the most suitable program for it, both for preserving its physical INTRODUCTION characteristics (avoiding or, at any rate, limiting alterations) as well to guarantee the most effective sterilization.

8. PROGRAM SELECTION NOTE F NO STERILIZATION PROGRAM IS SELECTED THE EQUIPMENT CANNOT START A STERILIZATION CYCLE AND THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE APPEARS ON THE DISPLAY WITH A BEEP S E L E C T P R O G R A M P L E A S E .
9. RUNNING THE PROGRAM A sterilization cycle consists of a determined number of phases. The number and duration of RUNNING the phases can differ for the programs, based on the type of air extraction, sterilization process THE CYCLE and drying method. INTRODUCTION The electronic control system monitors the various phases, at the same time checking that the various parameters are respected;...

9. RUNNING THE PROGRAM Drying After the steam under pressure is released, its forced removal begins with the vacuum pump (DRYING): for this purpose, low pressure is created in the sterilization chamber to facilitate the evaporation of the steam and its consequent elimination.

10. STORING STERILIZED MATERIALS The sterilized material must be adequately treated and stored to maintain its sterility over time, STORING until its use. STERILIZED MATERIALS Inadequate storage can cause rapid recontamination. This leads to problems regardless of what you do since you will either be using INTRODUCTION recontaminated material (most of the time unconsciously), placing the user and patient at risk, or you will have to run the sterilization cycle again, with an inevitable waste of time and...
11. TEST PROGRAMS To protect the safety of users and patients, a fundamental process like sterilizing medical TEST PROGRAMS devices should be periodically checked. INTRODUCTION In this regard, Millennium B² offers the possibility of, simply and automatically, executing two distinct test programs: •...
