by the manufacturer regarding sterilization methods and times should be followed.
Program B 121
This program is used to sterilize objects that are sensitive to temperature, as well as rubber, some articles in
plastic and porous materials (cotton, fabrics) in open trays, or appropriate perforated trays.
Hollow instruments and dental instruments such as tubes and similar objects can also be sterilized, after
making sure that they have previously been cleaned, disinfected and rinsed. The objects indicated above
can also be sterilized without the use of pouches.
This program is particularly suited for sterilizing products in pouches (both single and double pouches),
products that will have to be kept sterile for a long period of time.
The length of this cycle depends on the weight of the load, on the type of load and on the temperature in the
chamber upon start-up of the cycle.
Program B 134
This program can be used both to sterilize solid instruments and porous materials (cotton, fabrics, etc.) in
open trays or using the specific perforated trays. Loads arranged both in single and in double pouches can
be sterilized.
Hollow instruments and dental instruments such as tubes and similar objects can also be sterilized, after
making sure that they have previously been cleaned, disinfected and rinsed. The objects indicated above
can also be sterilized without the use of pouches.
This program is particularly suited for sterilizing boxes of products in pouches, products that will have to be
kept sterile for a long period of time.
The length of this cycle depends on the weight of the load, on the type of load and on the temperature in the
chamber upon start-up of the cycle.
Program B 134 RAPID
For solid loads not exceeding 0.6 kg and for porous loads not exceeding 0.2 kg is possible to execute a swift
cycle that allows to sterilize the load in an average time of 30 minutes. The RAPID cycle includes 5 fixed
minutes of drying that allows the load to get dried even if put into envelopes.
It is important to remember that the load being sterilised must be placed in the highest available position of
the tray support, and that correct drying cannot be guaranteed for loads in pouches exceeding the indicated
weight.
Light Program (N121 and 134)
This program is for sterilising only products that are solid, unpacked and not hollow and weighing up to 6 Kg.
The N cycles must not be used to sterilise packed or hollow material since no vacuum phases are involved
and the penetration of steam cannot be guaranteed.
This type of cycle does not permit storage of the instruments.
Light & Stock Program (S121 and S134)
This program can only be used to sterilise single and packed solid instruments which are not hollow.
The maximum weight for sterilisation 6 Kg.
