• Inspect the instrument package for openings, tears and other
damage. If the instrument package is open or damaged, seal
the components in new packaging and re-sterilize as
described below.
• Allow the packages to dry within the autoclave, using the
autoclave’s drying cycle (if available) or by opening the door
of the autoclave and allowing the packages to air dry.
Handling a wet package can compromise its sterility.
