Sterilization
After external cleaning, the instruments are sterilized. Saturated steam is
forced into the chamber and then extracted back through the drive, air,
and water channels (if available) of the instruments. This is known as the
backflush method.
Three different sterilization programs are available:
● 134°C (273°F) with a sterilization time of 3 minutes
● 134°C (273°F) with a sterilization time of 18 minutes
● 121°C (250°F) with a sterilization time of 15 minutes
To select the program, see "Programs and program selection [ → 33]".

3.1.2 Functions with the BASKET lid
Five solid instruments, instruments without cavities, can be reprocessed
in the DAC UNIVERSAL with the optional BASKET lid.
External cleaning with NitraClean cleaning tablet
Solid instruments are first cleaned externally 3 times with cold water using
a NitraClean tablet. This is necessary to perform the cleaning properly.
The external cleaning is done using the pulse-wash method (multicyclic
cleaning method). Warm external cleaning / thermal disinfection is
conducted up to 120°C (248°F).
The chamber is then heated to 134°C (273°F) or 121 °C (250°F),
depending on the chosen program, for the sterilization process.
WARNING
According to the European EN 13060 standard, non-solid instruments or
instruments with cavities may not be sterile after a cycle in the BASKET
lid.
