DANGER
PERSONAL INJURY, CONTAMINATED LOAD AND/OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD
● Processing a load containing a stainless-steel lumened instrument through the Non
Lumen or Fast Non Lumen (if equipped) Cycles results in an ineffective Sterilization
Cycle. Do not process stainless-steel lumened devices in a Non Lumen or Fast Non
Lumen Cycle.
● Failure to thoroughly clean, rinse and dry articles to be Sterilized could result in an
ineffective Sterilization Cycle.

A leak test is recommended to be performed monthly on the Sterilization Unit to ensure
chamber leak rate is within specification. The leak rate must be less than
0.3 Torr/minute (0.4 mbar/minute or 0.04 kPa/minute). If not, an abort results, door
remains locked and Sterilization Unit service is required.
