270°F (132°C) Prevacuum (with either 5-minute or 20-minute dry phases) - For efficient, high volume processing of heat- and moisture-stable materials, such as fabrics and wrapped hard goods. This process incorporates a series of pressure/vacuum pulses to condition the load prior to sterilization. Sterilize temperature: 270°F (132°C) - Sterilize time: 4 minutes - Dry time: 5 minutes or 20 minutes
Gravity, Liquid, 250°F (121°C) - For sterilizing fabrics, Sterilize temperature: 250°F (121°C) - Sterilize time: 30 minutes - Dry time: 15 minutes (Note: A gravity cycle, adjusted to 270°F for 25-minute sterilize exposure time, can be used for processing fabric packs.)
270°F (132°) Gravity Cycle: For sterilizing hard goods. Sterilize temperature: 270°F (132°C) - Sterilize time: 15 minutes - Dry time: 30 minutes (Note: 270°F temperature must be set by the user)
SFPP configuration sterilizers are factory programmed with the following cycles: WRAP/SFPP, SFPP, Prevacuum, Gravity, Liquid and Test Cycles.
Sterilize temperature: 270°F (132°C) - Sterilize time: 4 minutes - Dry time: 20 minutes
WRAP/SFPP Cycle: For efficient, high-volume processing of heat- and moisture-stable materials, such as double wrapped instrument trays. This process incorporates a series of steam flushes and pressure pulses at pressures above atmospheric levels to condition load prior to sterilization. - Sterilize temperature: 270°F (132°C) - Sterilize time: 4 minutes - Dry time: 20 minutes
Liquid Cycle: This cycle is used for sterilizing liquids in borosilicate containers with vented closures. » Sterilize temperature: 250°F (121°C) - Factory programmed sterilize time: 45 minutes - Dry time: not applicable
275°F (135°C) Prevacuum Cycle: This cycle is used for efficient, high-volume processing of heat- and moisturestable materials in double-wrapped instrument trays. This process incorporates a series of pressure/vacuum pulses to condition the load prior to sterilization. » Sterilize temperature: 275°F (135°C) » Sterilize time: 3 minutes » Dry time: 16 minutes
