Sterilization

Sterilization eliminates living microorganisms from
semi-critical medical devices and dries residual wa-
ter in the interior of components.
Sterilize only components that have been
cleaned and disinfected.
For sterilization, use a vacuum steam sterilizer (in
accordance with DIN EN 285), preferably with frac-
tional vacuum.
CAUTION
These medical devices have been designed,
tested, and manufactured exclusively for single
use. Disposable products must not be reused, re-
processed, or sterilized. Reuse, reprocessing, or
sterilization may lead to failure of the medical de-
vices and injury to the patient.
Sterile accessories
CAUTION
Do not used sterile packed accessories if the
packing has been opened or damaged or there
are other indications of non-sterility. Reprocess-
ing and re-sterilization of disposable articles are
not permitted.
WARNING
Do not allow any alcohol or alcoholic agents
to get into the sample line openings! Alcohol
may distort the measuring results.
