APPENDIX 3

The way in which the load to sterilize is arranged is also considerably important to the sterilization process.

Always observe the maximum load indicated in this manual, a value that has been tested by the

manufacturer and that is therefore valid.

Always use the tray supports, to facilitate the circulation of steam.

Do not load trays that are not being used.

Where it is necessary to sterilise loose instruments, it is advisable to cover the tray with sheets of Tray

Paper, to avoid any direct contact of the instruments with the tray.

Ensure that instruments of different materials are separated and placed on different trays.

For improved sterilisation results, open instruments such as pincers, scissors, or other composite

instruments.

Position the instruments sufficiently distant from one another that they remain separate for the whole

sterilisation cycle.

Do not overfill the trays with instruments: overloading may compromise the quality of the sterilisation.

Mirrors should be placed glass side down.

Do not stack the trays on top of each other, always use the tray supports. It is necessary to leave a space

between each tray to allow for the circulation of steam during the sterilization phase and then to facilitate

drying.

Place a chemical sterilisation indicator on each tray.

Tubes

- After the tubes have been cleaned normally, rinse them using water without pyrogene.

- Place them on the tray so that the two ends are open and so that they do not bend or twist.

Packages

- Place the packages upwards, next to each other, do not allow them to come into contact with the sides

of the chamber.

Material in pouches

- When sterilizing material in pouches, do not overlap the pouches on the trays (Fig. A3-1).

- Place the pouch with the transparent side face down (in contact with the tray) and with the paper face

up (Fig. A3-2). Instruments must be put into separate pouches.

After following the instructions above, put the tray holder and trays into the sterilization chamber.

CAUTION:

the door gasket.
