In the case of particularly high demands on sterility, for example, shorter storage times or
additional packaging should be used.
Recommended storage conditions:
Temperature 15 – 26 ° C
Air humidity 30 – 50%
Air pressure, normal atmospheric pressure
Various container loads, storage periods and storage conditions have to be validated by
the responsible specialist hygiene personnel.
The HEBUmedical sterilisation containers were tested for a storage period of 3 month by
spraying Bacillus subtilis – Spore suspension in an unventilated room.
We therefore recommend a storage period of 6 weeks in open racks and 3 month when
stored under protected conditions (e.g. in closed cabinets).
10 Maintenance / Repair
The useful life of undamaged cover seals is at least 500 sterilisation cycles. The cover
seals then have to be replaced.
Cover seals have to be exchanged if they show signs of damage.
Cover seals should not be treated with spray, oil or solvents. For cleaning and
maintenance simply wipe off occasionally with a damp cloth.
If any damage on the container or its parts is noticed the container needs to be taken
out of circulation immediately and returned for repair.
Qualified persons only may carry out maintenance and repair of sterilisation
containers. Do not attempt to carry out repairs on the cover seals or closing devices
yourself, in order not to jeopardise the safe function of the container.
Sterilisation containers can be sent to HEBUmedical or one of the authorised repair
services for maintenance and repairs.
Replacement parts can be obtained from HEBUmedical
11 Materials
