Notice:
1.
DO NOT load cases into sterilizer on sides or upside down with lid side on the shelf or cart. Load cases on cart
or shelf, so that the lid is always facing upward. This will allow for proper drying. The TRIVEX Sterilization Tray
is designed to drain in this position.
2.
After the autoclave door is opened, all cases must be allowed to cool thoroughly. Place trays on a rack or
shelf with linen cover until cooling is complete. The potential for condensation may increase if the tray is not
allowed to cool properly.
3.
If condensation is observed, check to ensure steps 1 and 2 were followed. In addition, verify that the steam,
which is being used for sterilization processing, has a quality of more than 97%. Also con rm that the
sterilizers have been inspected for routine maintenance in accordance with manufacturer recommendations.
4.
Silicone mat accessories should be placed in alignment with perforations in cases or trays so that sterilant
pathways are not obstructed.
5.
Only use internal baskets, trays, mats, or accessories that have been designed and tested for use in ETO
processes. The TRIVEX Sterilization Tray and mat are made from metal, Radel®-R or silicone and meet this
requirement.
The following table provides guidance on maximum loads. Do not overload delivery systems, and always follow
AAMI, OSHA and hospital standards for maximum loading. Follow instrument manufacturers instructions for use.
