Correctly loading the sterilizer


In order for the sterilization procedure to be correct, the following points should be taken into account:

  • The chamber should be in a perfect state of cleanliness.
  • Burden sharing should permit the free circulation of the sterilizing agent in the chamber.
  • Each package should be separated from its neighbors and it should not be in contact with the walls, floor and ceiling of the sterilizer.
  • The load of the sterilizer should be constituted preferably by similar materials and should not surpass 80% of the total capacity of the chamber.

Daily care of the sterilizer:

  • Remove lint and sediments on the meshes with a brush. It is through the meshes that air and condensation are removed.
  • All accessible surfaces of the cart should be washed with a damp cloth using a smooth detergent, moving from the top down. The baskets should be cleaned last.
  • All objects that are sterilized by steam should be adequately wrapped or packaged with the corresponding indicator.
