completed, operate at a sterilizing temperature and pressure of 273ºF/134ºC to 279ºF/137ºC and
pressure of 31psi/216kPa for 3 to 4 minutes, except when sterilizing the GRAY Steri-Mate handpiece,
the cycle time must be 4-5 minutes. Instruments should be used immediately.
Drying:
To dry, use the drying cycle of the autoclave. Set cycle for 20-30 minutes.

• Check for distortion, damage and wear. Discard damaged, worn or corroded instruments.
• Inspect o-rings on the handpiece, handpiece adapter and handpiece cable for damage or wear.
Replace if necessary.
• Ensure all o-rings are in place.
