4.1.3 Principles of packing tools for sterilisation

Sterilisation pack Principles of packing tools
type
Disposable paper • Bags should be filled only to 3/4 volume to allow
and film packages proper sealing and minimize the risk of breakage
• a distance of 30 mm should be kept between the
welding and sterilized equipment
• Protect sharp edges to avoid damage to the
packaging
• the packaging material must not be laid loosely or
stretched so that it does not affect pressure changes
during sterilization
• the equipment should be stacked so that the paper
side contacts the paper side as the sterilizing agent
penetrates
and air exchange can only take place through paper
• a label should be placed on the packaging with
information about the content of the packaging, the
code of the packer, date of sterilization and expiry date
and sterilization parameters
• it is recommended to insert a sterilization strip into
each process that discolours as a result of the correct
sterilization cycle

5. STARTING THE DEVICE

5.1 Commissioning

Before initiating the sterilisation cycle, turn the device on using the main
switch located on the rear panel of the device. Make sure that water supply
and wastewater cables are connected correctly, and that water is present in
the water supply container, while the wastewater tank is empty, in order to
prevent overflow. Monitor the water level in the tank regularly, depending
on how frequently you perform your processes.

5.2 Program selection

Depending on the type of load to be sterilised, the user is responsible for
selecting the appropriate program dedicated for the given type of load,
in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations for sterilisation.
Additionally, the Enbio PRO autoclave has a PRION program dedicated as one of the
stages of decontamination of objects which are suspected to have had or may have
had contact with pathologically altered prion proteins (e.g. Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease,
BSE, etc.). Detailed information and recommendations on the control of transmissible
spongiform encephalopathies are presented in the document "WHO Infection Control
Guidelines for Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies - Report of a WHO consul-
tation. (Geneva, Switzerland, 23-26 March 1999)' . It is the responsibility of the user of
the device to comply with the above guidelines.
