CAUTION
• Use an FDA-approved steam sterilizer to perform
sterilization.
• Follow local rules, regulations, and guidelines
regarding the reprocessing of devices.
• Do not touch the product immediately after steam
sterilization as it will be very hot and must remain in
a sterile condition.
• Do not heat or cool the product too quickly. Rapid
change in temperature could cause damage to the
product.
CAUTION
• Place each product in an individual sterilization
pouch for steam sterilization. This is to prevent
possible discoloration and damage to the product
due to chemical residue from other instruments.
• Clean the coupling prior to sterilization.
• Be sure to use sterilizers that can perform
sterilization up to 135 °C. In some sterilizers, the
chamber temperature may exceed 135 °C. Do not
use these sterilizers as failure of the coupling could
occur. Contact the sterilizer manufacturer for detailed
information about cycle temperatures.
• Steam sterilization is recommended for the product.
The validity of other sterilization methods (such as
plasma sterilization or EOG sterilization) is not
confirmed.
