2.8.4 Sterilization procedure
Autoclave
• Disassemble the nebulizer unit and adapters
into individual components.
• Remove the filler cap from the nebulizer unit
• Clean all parts with warm water and mild
liquid detergent. Rinse thoroughly and air
dry.
• Check for cracks or damage and replace if
any defects are visible.
• Place the disassembled components into
appropriate sterilization wrapping.
CAUTION: Do not reassemble parts prior
to autoclaving
Steam sterilization can be performed using
the following three methods:
• Autoclave wrapped parts using steam
sterilization pre-vacuum cycle, a minimum
of 134°C (270°F - 275°F) for 3.5 minutes
with drying cycle (134°C wrapped cycle).
• Autoclave wrapped parts using steam
sterilization pre-vacuum cycle, a minimum
of 121°C (250°F) for 20 minutes with drying
cycle (121°C wrapped cycle).
• Autoclave wrapped parts using steam
sterilization pre-vacuum cycle, a minimum
of 134°C (270°F - 275°F) for 20 minutes with
drying cycle (sometimes referred to as a
“Prion cycle”).
Note: Sterilization using the long autoclave
cycle may cause some areas of the
nebulizer to become discolored. This is not
indicative of the performance of the
nebulizer unit.
To sterilize with hydrogen peroxide gas
plasma, place wrapped parts in a STERRAD®
System, and use the long cycle.
CAUTION: Users should refer to the
product labelling for the STERRAD® 100S
Sterilization System for specific instructions
regarding its proper operation.
