Packaging and Sterility
The Selectra slitter tool is packaged in two sterile bags so that the exterior of the inside
bag is also sterile. Ethylene oxide is used for sterilization purposes.
The two sterile bags are packaged in a container that bears a quality control seal and 
a product information label. The label lists the model type, technical data, use by date, 
and information about sterility and storage of the package and contents.

2 If it is suspected that the sterile packaging has been opened or damaged, return the
product to BIOTRONIK.
