Unwrapped

3 min. 27.1 psi

30 min. • Instruments loose on a tray.
• Open glass or metal canisters.
• Tubing not used in surgical procedures.
(Max. length - 40” & Min. inside diameter - .187”)
• Loose items manufacturers recommend for
exposure at 270°F (132°C) for 3 minutes.
Note: The sterility of unwrapped items is compromised on
exposure to a non-sterile environment.
Pouches
270°F
(132°C)
5 min. 27.1 psi
(186 kPa)
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) for 5 minutes.
Packs
250°F
(121°C)
30 min. 15 psi
(104 kPa)
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)
6 min. 27.1 psi

30 min. • Dental handpieces (wrapped or unwrapped).
Note: Verify acceptability of sterilization
parameters with handpiece manufacturer.

Programmablecycles1&2areprovidedforthoseap-
plications requiring sterilization parameters different than
thepresetcycles.Itisimportanttoproperlycoordinate
sterilization temperature with
cycle time to achieve sterilization. Sterilization tempera-
ture 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.
1. The pressure shown in this table is for reference only. It’s the ideal pressure of saturated steam
at the sterilization temperature. The pressure shown on the sterilizer display may be higher or lower.
2. Dry time can be changed from 0 to 60 minutes. Refer to Cycle Operation.
Caution
Allmaterialprocessedinthesecyclesmust
be validated by the user to ensure sterility
of the processed load.
