7.2.1 Autoclaving
The service life of the accessories essentially depends on the frequency of
autoclaving and use.
• Replace the accessories immediately when the parts show changes in color
or structure or in the occurrence of leaks etc.
• During autoclaving, the caps of the tubes must not be screwed on in order to
avoid the deformation of the tubes.
It cannot be excluded that plastic parts, e.g. lids or carriers, may deform during
autoclaving.
