Sterilization Cycles

The STATCLAVE features 6 validated sterilization cycles with optimized drying for the fast, effective sterilization of the various
types of loads used in a medical or dental environment. An additional custom cycle can be configured using one of three
temperature settings but this cycle must be validated by the user.
The table below describes load types and corresponding sterilization requirements. Load size requirement details are listed in
Section 5. Loading Instruments.
NOTE: When selecting a sterilization cycle, choose according to the load you are sterilizing and the instrument manufacturer's
reprocessing instructions.
