Cycle Parameters
Unwrapped
270°F (132°C)
27.1 psi (186 kPa)
Sterilize: 3 min.
Dry: 30 min.*
• Instruments loose on a tray.
• Open glass or metal canisters.
• Tubing not used in surgical procedures.
• Loose items manufacturers recommend for exposure at 270°F (132°C).
Note: The sterility of unwrapped items is compromised on exposure to a non-sterile environment.
Pouches
270°F (132°C)
27.1 psi (186 kPa)
Sterilize: 5 min.
Dry: 30 min.*
• Pouched or loosely wrapped instruments.
• Multiple layers of instruments separated by fabric.
• Wrapped trays of loose instruments.
• Wrapped Cassettes.
• Tubing not used in surgical procedures.
• Wrapped items manufacturers recommend for exposure at 270°F (132°C)
Packs
250°F (121°C)

Sterilize: 30 min.
Dry: 30 min.*
• Textiles and surgical packs wrapped for sterilization.
• Items, except liquids, manufacturers recommend for exposure at 250°F (121°C) for 30 minutes.
Handpieces
270°F (132°C)
27.1 psi (186 kPa)
Sterilize: 6 min.
Dry: 30 min.*

230°F to 275°F
(110°C to 135°C)
6 to 31 psi (41 to 214 kPa)
Sterilize: 3 to 90 min.
Dry: 0 to 60 min.
• Items appropriate for user’s dened parameters.
Caution
All material processed in these cycles must be validated by the user to ensure sterility of the
processed load.
Programmable cycles 1 & 2 are provided for those applications requiring sterilization parameters different than
the preset cycles. It is important to properly coordinate sterilization temperature with cycle time to achieve ster-
ilization. Sterilization temperature can be adjusted from 230° to 275°F (110° to 135°C). Permitted temperature
range for proper sterilization is 250° to 275°F (121° to 135°C). Temperatures set below 250°F (121°C) should
not be used for sterilization, unless required by the device manufacturer. Temperatures below 250°F (121°C) are
provided for disinfection only.
