DANGER
PERSONAL INJURY, CONTAMINATED LOAD AND/OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to thoroughly clean, rinse and dry articles to be Sterilized could result in an
ineffective Sterilization Cycle.
CAUTION
POSSIBLE EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
This Low Temperature Sterilization System should NOT be used to Sterilize liquids,
linens, powders, or cellulose materials (refer to Material Compatibility).
The Low Temperature Sterilization System is intended for use in the terminal sterilization of properly prepared
(thoroughly cleaned, rinsed and dried; refer to Cleaning, Rinsing, and Drying) metal and nonmetal medical devices in
Healthcare Facilities. The Sterilization Cycles (Lumen, Non Lumen, Fast Non Lumen, and Flexible) operate at low
pressure and temperature, suitable for processing medical devices sensitive to heat and moisture.
The Low Temperature Sterilization System is specifically designed to only process goods using the cycles presented in
this manual (refer to The Sterilization Cycles). If there is any doubt about a specific material or product, contact the
product manufacturer for recommended technique.
The Sterilization Unit is NOT intended to process liquids, linens, powders, or cellulose materials (refer to Material
Compatibility). Uses other than as specified and described in these instructions are not recommended, may not be
effective in Sterilization and may not be safe. Consult STERIS for further information.
The system utilizes specially designed disposable Cups (available separately) containing proprietary Sterilant.
5.2 Main Sterilization Unit and Cycle Controls
Before operating the Low Temperature Sterilization System, become familiar with the location and function of all major
components and controls presented in this section (see Figure 5-1 and Figure 5-2).
• Control Power Disconnect Switch — Located behind OE lower access door. Access switch by unlatching door using
a pen or screwdriver. This switch is used to disconnect power to Sterilization Unit. Under normal operation, this
switch remains in ON position at all times and is only accessed during Sterilization Unit servicing. This switch is
designed to enable lock-out for maintenance purposes
• HMI Control Display — Located in center of OE and NOE (Double Door Unit only) Sterilization Unit control panel.
This color touch panel provides user information and allows user inputs. See Control Displays (Touch Screens) for
more information on control touch screens. A second display is added on a Double Door Unit.
NOTE: Screen touch pads respond to very slight pressure, and only need to be pressed lightly.
• Cup Interface — OE only. Refer to Sterilant Cup Installation and Removal for more information.
