Sterilization Monitoring Guidelines
Physical Monitors
Temperature and pressure measuring devices can help detect sterilizer malfunctions. The sterilizer’s control
system aborts the cycle and displays a message if physical conditions go outside established limits. The
optionalprintercanbeusedtocreatearecordofeachload’sactualcycletime,temperature,andpressure.
Chemical Indicators
Chemical indicators are designed to verify that conditions in the sterilizer chamber were adequate to achieve
sterilization.Theydonotvalidatethataprocesseditemissterile.Ifachemicalindicatorshowsafailure,
items in that load are considered non-sterile. Potential causes for sterilization failure include: improper
cleaning,packing,loading,orasterilizermalfunction.Determinethecauseofanysterilizationfailure,and
remedythesituationbeforerunningthenextcycle.OnlyFDAclearedchemicalindicatorslabeledforuse
withthenontraditionalsteamsterilizationcycleparameters.e.g.temperatureandexposuretime,ofthe
M9 / M11 Sterilizers should be used for monitoring the cycles. Follow the chemical indicator’s instructions
forproperstorage,use,interpretation,anddisposal.
Biological Indicators
Biological indicators are microbiological devices designed to accompany items being sterilized to monitor
adequacyofthesterilizationprocess.Ifabiologicalindicatorshowsafailure,itemsinthatloadare
considerednon-sterile.Potentialcausesforsterilizationfailureinclude:impropercleaning,packing,loading,
orasterilizermalfunction.Determinethecauseofanysterilizationfailure,andremedythesituationbefore
runningthenextcycle.OnlyFDAclearedbiologicalindicatorslabeledforusewiththenontraditional
steamsterilizationcycleparameters.e.g.temperatureandexposuretime,oftheM9/M11Sterilizers
shouldbeusedformonitoringthecycles.Followthebiologicalindicatorsinstructionsforproperstorage,
use,interpretation,anddisposal.
Note
This information below is provided for reference only. Contact appropriate state/local agencies for
specific sterilization guidelines for your office. Additional information on infection control is available
from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Organization for Safety and Asepsis
Procedures (OSAP) ), Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI), and
Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC).
Note
Use only FDA cleared chemical & biological indicators designed for steam sterilization that are
compatible with the particular sterilization cycle temperature and exposure time being monitored.
Use sterility monitors with each sterilization load. If a sterilizing cycle is terminated prematurely,
reprocess instruments to ensure sterility of the load. Follow manufacturer’s instructions for proper
disposal of used indicators.

Operation
Before Operating the Sterilizer...
Filling the Reservoir
Caution
Programmable cycles 1 & 2 are provided for those applications requiring sterilization
parameters different than the preset cycles. All material processed in these cycles must
be validated by the user to ensure sterility of the processed load.
WARNING
Do not use this sterilizer for sterilizing volatile substances or for any purpose other
than its intended design. Burns and toxic or explosive conditions could result.
Do not force door handle at any time. Chamber pressure may cause door to open with
extreme force. If door handle does not move freely, allow until to cool and depressurize for
40 minutes before opening door. Failure to adhere could result in serious personal injury.
Do not run the sterilizer without the tray plate in place. If the sterilizer malfunctions,
immediately unplug sterilizer, and call for service; do not attempt to repair the sterilizer
yourself. Doing so could result in serious injury.
Equipment Alert
For optimal performance, allow the sterilizer to reach room temperature before operating.
To fill reservoir...
A) Open door to unit.
B) Pour distilled water into fill opening until
water level reaches the top of the fill level
label on the water level indicator tube.
Equipment Alert
Use distilled water or water that meets the
referenced water purity specifications.
Failure to comply may result in sterilizer
malfunction and/or premature failure due
to excessive corrosion.

Please consider the following when choosing whether or not to sterilize your instruments unwrapped:
•Thesterilityofunwrappedinstrumentsiscompromiseduponexposuretoanon-sterile
environment.FollowCDCguidelinesforusingunwrapped,sterilizedinstruments.
•Duetothesensitivenatureofsometypesofsurgery(including,butnotlimitedto

these procedures on a routine basis
WARNING
Do not overload the chamber! Adequate space is required around items in trays for
steam circulation and drying. Failure to allow adequate space will compromise
sterilization and drying. Items and packaging should be completely dry when removed from
the sterilizer to minimize the potential for recontamination.
