at normal steam pressure) or has just been unloaded from a previous sterilizing load.
Sterilize at 15 lbs. (6.80 kg), 250°F (121°C), for 30 minutes ONLY. Watch time carefully. Do not leave in
for more than 30 minutes.
At the end of drying cycle, de-pressurize sterilizer immediately and open door minimally (just a small
crack is best).
Leave this instrument pack in partially opened sterilizer for at least 15 minutes. Do not remove until
instrument is cool to the touch. This is very important!

condense moisture on the bottom surface of the pack.
DO NOT DRY-HEAT STERILIZE.
If available, gas autoclaving is preferable
