Symmetry Surgical FlashPak 9020 Instrucciones De Uso página 4

11. Initiate the sterilization cycle.
12. After the sterilization cycle ends, open the sterilizer door and remove FlashPak.
WARNING: The container will be hot. FlashPak Gloves 9000-14 or towels may be
necessary to prevent minor burns. Do not handle or carry FlashPak by the lid.
13. Transfer the container to the FlashPak Delivery Cart Product Code 9111 or other suitable cart for transport to the point of use. As a result of
its closed system design and the raised integral feet FlashPak may be placed on non-sterile surfaces.
CAUTION: Condensate may have formed inside the FlashPak so use care when transporting.
CAUTION: Never touch or probe the valve plate after sterilization as this may breach the sterile barrier and render the contents non-
sterile.
CAUTION: Never touch or probe the pressure relief button prior to opening the case at the point of use as this may breach the sterile
barrier and render the contents non-sterile.
14. Place FlashPak on a table near the point of use and visually verify that the valve plate in the lid fully engages the silicone seal around its
entire circumference. See picture for sterilization step 1 lid gasket.
CAUTION: If the valve appears to be open or is not fully engaged with the silicone seal assume the instruments are contaminated
and reprocess accordingly.
15. Unlatch the lid. Depress the pressure relief button and remove the lid.
16. Grasping the lid on diagonally opposite corners while lifting may aid lid removal.
17. Verify that the multi-parameter chemical integrator(CI) indicates acceptable exposure. As
the terminology used varies by CI brand, follow the CI instructions to verify that sufficient
exposure for sterilization has occurred.
CAUTION: Do not use the instruments if the multi-parameter chemical integrator (CI) does
not verify acceptable exposure. Incomplete change in the multi-parameter integrator (CI)
indicates that the sterilization process was incomplete or interrupted. Troubleshoot the
process according to established procedures and after resolving the problem, repeat
these instructions beginning at step 6.
