Using Wrapped Cassettes and Containers
Drying plates must be used when processing wrapped cassettes to ensure air flow around cassettes and to promote proper
drying.
For wrapped loads, place a chemical indicator inside each of the wrappings.
Inserting drying plates
Remove the wire trays from the unit and insert the
1.
drying plates into each of the slots in the base of the
rack.
The three plates should sit vertically, evenly placed in
2.
the rack with the taller end pointing up and at the back
of the chamber.
Place cassettes vertically into the unit to optimize
3.
drying.
When Using Wrapped Cassettes:
›
DO ensure you always use suitably porous material (sterilization paper, muslin napkins, etc.) and close the wrapping
with adhesive tape designed for use in autoclaves.
›
DO ensure there is space for sufficient air flow between cassettes when loading more than one wrapped cassette per
row.
›
DO always use adhesive tape designed for autoclaves or heat-sealing machines. Using staples, pins or other fasteners
could compromise the sterility of the load.
›
DO be sure to insert wrapped cassettes with the flat side down to avoid tearing the wrap.
