Please comply with the following instructions to assure perfect sterilisation and longest life of all
autoclave parts:
1. Right after use, disinfect/clean the instruments by means of some disinfecting/cleaning
agent making sure to comply with the recommendations of the manufacturer as far as
dosage and treatment time is concerned .
2. Treat the instruments in your ultrasound equipment.
3. Carefully rinse off the instruments with clean water. Make sure to remove all traces of
residual cleanser/disinfecting agent
recommend carefully brushing the instruments.
4. Residual chemicals left over after cleaning/disinfecting may damage and corrode parts
of the autoclave. So we recommend you to always rinse off the instruments using
desalted or distilled water.
5. Accurately dry the instruments.
6. Wash, rinse and dry trays as well.
7. Make sure that to load instruments of the same on the same tray.
8. Should your instruments be unwrapped, it we recommendable to cover the tray with a
paper or fabric napkin to prevent the instruments touching directly the naked tray
surface.
9. Small mirrors must be positioned with the glass face downwards.
10. For better sterilisation purposes, instruments such as forceps, shears and alike should
be left opened.
11. Do not stack instruments on the trays. Instruments must be sterilised separately. An
overload could compromise the sterilisation.
12. When sterilising wrapped instruments, do not stack the bags on the trays. Bags must be
positioned with their clear side downwards. Instruments must be wrapped separately.
13. When sterilising empty containers, place them upside down to avoid water
accumulation.
14. Only perform sterilisation of the instruments with trays resting in the tray-holder. Make
sure that enough gap is available trays so that vapour can circulate during the
sterilisation improving the drying process.
The above steps show that due preparation is crucial for top sterilisation.
The same preparation steps are required for brand new instruments that could be affected
by residual production materials (oil and/or grease).
The production of corrosive agents on the inner parts of an autoclave strictly depends on
external agents.
Trying to sterilise even one single instrument affected by corrosion may further lead to
chemical/physical contamination of the other instruments and of the autoclave parts.
