a.
The instrument must be carefully cleaned prior to auto-
claving (Cleaning, p. 70).
b.
Open the closure cap on the discharge tube, and for in-
struments with a recirculation valve, set the valve to
'Dispense'.
c.
Check that the filling valve is securely seated (Fig. 1a). In
the Digital model, additionally check that the piston
mounting is securely seated (Fig. 1b).
d.
To ensure unhindered access for the steam and to pre-
vent the valve ball in the filling valve from possibly be-
coming stuck, hold the instrument with the discharge
piston pressed vertically downward, and gently tap
against the casing with your hand (Fig. 2). Then lay it
horizontally in the autoclave. Be sure to avoid the in-
strument coming into contact with metal surfaces in the
autoclave!
Do not reassemble the instrument until it has cooled down to
room temperature (Cooling time approx. 2 hours). After every
autoclaving, inspect all parts for deformities or damage. If
necessary, replace them. The effectiveness of autoclaving
must be verified by the user.
