– PROGRAMS
Steam sterilisation is suitable for almost all the materials and instruments, provided that they can bear without damage a minimum temperature of 121°C
(if this is not the case, other low-temperature sterilisation systems must be used).
The following material can normally be sterilised with steam:
• Stainless steel surgical/generic instruments;
• Carbon steel surgical/generic instruments;
• Rotating and/or vibrating instruments driven by compressed air (turbines) or mechanical transmission (contra angles, tooth scalers);
• Glass items;
• Mineral-based items;
• Heat-resistant plastic items;
• Heat-resistant rubber items;
• Heat-resistant textiles;
• Medication materials (gauze, pads, etc.);
• Other generic material suitable for autoclave treatment.
Depending on the material (solid, hollow or porous), on any package containing it (paper/plastic bag, paper for sterilisation, container, muslin
napkins, etc.) and on its resistance to heat, it is essential to choose the suitable sterilisation program, referring to the table in the next page.
The device must not be used for the sterilisation of fluids, liquids or pharmaceutical products.
"Prion” cycle
The reference standard for this device, EN 13060:2014 + A1:2018, does not lay down any requirements for inactivation processes that cause
spongiform encephalopathies as scrapie, bovine spongiform encephalopathy and creutzfeldt-jakob disease.
The cycle name
d “prion” (18 min at 134°C) applies national regulations, which indicate this modified steam sterilisation process as part of a prion
decontamination program.
