Notes

This is a traditional bench top steam steriliser which displaces air passively from the chamber by the steam generated within the steriliser. It is known as a ‘Type N’ cycle, being the simplest type and least expensive to purchase, operate and maintain. Suitable for load type ‘non-wrapped solid items.’ Not to be used for hollow devices or wrapped items. Drain and clean chamber and reservoir at the end of each day and leave dry. Replenish with sterile water for irrigation from an unopened container.
