Intended Use of Sterilization Trays
Sterilization trays are plastic and/or metal containers used to hold and
protect surgical devices during the sterilization process. They consist of an
interlocking tray and lid, which are both perforated to allow the passage of
sterilizing agent from outside the tray to the devices placed inside.
Sterilization trays typically feature a silicon finger mat or group of device
holders that secure devices during the sterilization process. Some models
feature stacking internal trays to allow the segregation of devices.
Warnings
- These instructions are validated only for sterilization of the tray and device(s) identified herein. Using combinations or parameters not described in this manual may result in incomplete sterilization.
- These instructions do not replace the cleaning instructions provided with individual devices. Prior to sterilization, clean all devices as specified in their respective user manuals.
- Wear appropriate protective equipment (gloves, eye protection, etc.) when processing any medical device.
- Both the device and the tray must be cleaned prior to sterilization, or incomplete sterilization will result.
- The sterilization tray, its lid, and any internal components have been designed and validated for use as a single system. Do not separate components from the system, for use individually or in combination, or incomplete sterilization may result.
Cautions
