Container systems
Always attach the lid to the bottom via the latching mechanism before placing the container in
the steriliser. Otherwise the content of the container will become unsterile as soon as the
steriliser door will be open.
7 Placement in the steriliser
The sterilisation containers are constructed so that they can be used in any conventional
large steam steriliser.
Pay attention that heavy containers are placed at the bottom of the sterilisation chamber.
Thanks to the way they are constructed, the sterilisation containers can be stacked safely
and without a problem on top of one another during sterilisation without slipping out of place.
Only stack containers in hight-vacuum cycles and do not stack them higher than 16-18" to
allow an effective air removal and steam penetration. The loading instructions of the steriliser
manufacturer should be observed.
!
Never wrap the container in any kind of outer packaging. Never
cover the perforated area of the container with any kind of foil
packaging or similar during sterilisation, because this will block the
air and steam flow through the perforation. The result will be a
vacuum damage due to insufficient pressure venting and the
container content will not be sterilised. During loading and
unloading of the steriliser and during transport, the sterile container
must always be carried by the handles and never by the lid.
8 Processing
Follow the time and temperature recommendations of the steriliser manufacturer for
every chosen sterilisation cycle.
After sterilisation leave sterilizer door open at 6" for approximately 15 minutes to aid
drying (see recommendation of steriliser manufacturer).
To minimize condensate inside the container, leave container on container carts until
cool enough to handle.
Always check if the sterilisation has been successful by observing indicators and the
container latch (must be closed).
warranties will only be accepted by using original HEBUmedical filter.
9 Storage
Sterile material maintains its sterility from several weeks to up to 6 months under normal
aseptic conditions, in unopened sterilisation containers and with undamaged sterile
filters. Usually the storage period depends on the storage conditions and must be
defined by the responsible specialist hygiene personnel.
