The door has to be opened upon completion of a cycle before repeating a
sterilization program. Otherwise, the program will not restart.
After sterilization, some condensate may be observed on sterile materials. It does
not show that the materials are not sterile and the sterilization cycle is unsuccessful.
DIN 58953 Part 7 Section 7 states that “…Small amounts of water on the surface of
packages do not represent a cause for concern if they dry completely within thirty
minutes after removal from a steam sterilization system...”
