To Sterilize in the Hospital:
All disassembled parts can be autoclaved to a maximum of
272° F for 3 minutes at 29 PSIG or 250° F for 15-20 min-
utes at 15 PSIG . If autoclaved membrane caps may require
more force to attach to pump .
To avoid damage during and immediately after sterilization:
•
Sterilize parts without applying external pressure to
them .
•
Allow parts to cool before applying external pressure .
If gas sterilization is used, residual testing is recommended
to determine the proper length of aeration .
