a minimum of 134 °C (270 °F - 275 °F) for 3.5 minutes with drying cycle
(134 °C wrapped cycle).
2. Autoclave wrapped parts using steam sterilization pre-vacuum cycle,
a minimum of 121 °C (250 °F) for 20 minutes with drying cycle (121 °C
wrapped cycle).
3. Autoclave wrapped parts using steam sterilization pre-vacuum cycle,
a minimum of 134 °C (270 °F - 275 °F) for 20 minutes with drying cycle.
Note: Sterilization using the autoclave cycle (No. 3 above) may cause
some areas of the nebulizer to become discolored.
To sterilize with hydrogen peroxide gas plasma, place wrapped
parts in a STERRAD
