Steam
• Steam sterilization is intended only for camera heads and couplers
marked
AUTOCLAVE.
• Rapid cooling, or “quenching,” the coupler after autoclaving will
result in product damage.
• The water used in the autoclave process must meet standards for
clean steam per AAMI ST 79 Appendix M – Steam Quality
requirements.
Ethylene Oxide (EO)
Note for United States users: For all autoclave-compatible devices, Stryker
recommends using steam sterilization instead of liquid chemical sterilization.
