FAQ

The chemical process is documented to be environmentally friendly using a cleaning agent of corrosion inhibitors and low acidic solution.

Over time, minerals and other contaminants from the sterilization process accumulate on autoclave chamber walls from the incoming steam, causing discoloration and scale buildup, can hinder autoclave function and even contaminate sterilized packs.

    • Page 561; XV.a.Policies and procedures for routine cleaning of sterilizer chambers, carts, and exterior surfaces should be developed and implemented. The sterilizer manufacturer’s written instructions for cleaning should be reviewed and followed.
  • ANSI AAMI ST79:2017
    • 12.4 Routine care
      • Sterilizers should be inspected and cleaned daily according to the manufacturer’s written IFU. Examples of items requiring daily care and/or cleaning are recording charts, printers, printer ribbons, marking pens and ink, door gaskets, the chamber drain screen, the internal chamber, and external surfaces. Weekly or other prescribed inspection and cleaning should be performed as specified in the manufacturer’s written IFU.
      • Rationale: Periodic inspection and cleaning reduce the frequency of equipment malfunction and the risk of accidental contamination of sterile items.
