Chapter 4 – Sterilization

Soft sterilization wrapping
→Soft sterilization wrapping must always be sterilized using the
package holder. When using soft sterilization packages such as
MELA
fol 1002. observe the following instructions:
Attention
■ Arrange
→
soft sterilization wrapping standing vertically in the
package holder to ensure that the paper side of the outer wrapping
points to the outside.
■ The sterilizing wrappings must be clamped on both sides into the
slots of the package holder. Only use respectively wide sterilizing
wrapping (a width of 10 cm is recommended).
■ Wrapping may not be jammed between door gasket and sliding door
.
Fold the upper end of the wrapping overas needed (film side to the
outside).
■ If the seal seam tears open during sterilization, then it might be that
the wrapping was too small. If this is the case, re-wrap the
instruments and sterilize them once again. The packaging should be
filled to ¾ or the spacing for the sealing seam at 3 cm.
■ If the seal seam tears open during sterilization, extend the sealing
impulse of the package sealing device or seal the wrappings with a
double seam.
■ If the sterilizing wrappings are increasingly damaged when using the
Prion-Program, you can reinforce the industrial seams of the
packaging via sealing prior to sterilization.
Non-observance can ultimately lead to unsterile instruments and
thereby to endangering the health of the patient and practice team.
Multiple wrapping
The steam sterilizer functions on the
→
fractionated flow method.
The use of
→multiple wrapping is not possible.
Mixed loads
Sterilization of mixed loads is not permitted.
