Mechanical Cleaning:
1.
Place the STERILCONTAINER bottom in the washer with the inside surface facing down to avoid water collection.
2.
Fold the handles towards the inside of the lid. Place the lid with the inside surface facing down to avoid water collection.
3.
Retention plates should be placed away from the direct force of pressurized washer jets to avoid damage during the washing
cycle. The wire baskets provided by the mechanical washer manufacturer should be used to hold STERILCONTAINER
components during the automated cleaning cycles.
4.
Thoroughly dry (either with a soft, dry cloth or air dry) the STERILCONTAINER and components before final assembly.
If you have further questions regarding cleaning practices for the STERILCONTAINER System, contact your local Aesculap Sales
Representative or the Customer Service department at 1-800-282-9000.
ASSEMBLY FOR USE
Pre-Assembly Inspection and Preparation:
1.
Identify surgical instrument set for sterilization.
2.
Identify appropriate size basket and STERILCONTAINER, as well as STERILCONTAINER bottom type (perforated or solid)
for the method of sterilization chosen. (It is not recommended to use solid bottom containers in gravity steam
sterilizers.)
3.
Assure STERILCONTAINER component pieces are completely dry.
4.
Inspect the rim of the lid to ensure the gasket is in good condition and free from cracks. A cracked gasket indicates age and/or
deterioration and should not be used. Remove the lid from service and return for repair.
NOTE: An optional inner drape may be used to wrap the basket and basket contents to facilitate the formation of a sterile field when
opened.
Filter Assembly:
1.
Place one sheet of the appropriate Aesculap filter paper over each perforated section on the inside of the
STERILCONTAINER lid. When using Aesculap filter paper with indicator ink (US751), be sure indicator dot faces toward the
inside of the container when the lid is in place and the indicator dot is visible through the retention plate.
2.
Secure each filter with the retention plate designed for use with the STERILCONTAINER lid.
3.
Perforated Bottoms: Place one sheet of the appropriate Aesculap filter paper over the perforated section in the
STERILCONTAINER bottom. Secure the filter with the retention plate designed for the STERILCONTAINER bottom.
Solid Bottoms: This model has no perforated section and does not require a filter or retention plate.
Instrument and STERILCONTAINER Assembly:
1.
Sort and assemble thoroughly cleaned and dried instruments into the instrument basket(s), according to established hospital
procedures.
2.
Place assembled instrument basket(s) into the prepared STERILCONTAINER bottom.
3.
Place assembled lid onto the STERILCONTAINER bottom, aligning handles on bottom with latches on lid.
4.
Simultaneously close both locking latches on the STERILCONTAINER lid.
NOTE: Aesculap has validated a weight of 16-20 pounds for baskets and basket contents. Hospitals should refer to AAMI/AORN
guidelines on weights and weight limit. All instruments should be assembled to allow for uniform exposure to sterilization
agents.
CAUTION:
Leave one inch of free space between the instruments and the rim of the container bottom for effective processing. Basket
handles may encroach into this clearance space as long as they do not interfere with the lid's filter retention plate or lid
closure.
