Despite our best efforts, instructions included with every item shipped sometimes become separated and lost. Fortunately, copies of our instructions can be downloaded by clicking on the icon to the left. Our cleaning and sterilization instructions are developed with redundant levels of surety and written to meet the varied (and changing) mandates of the many worldwide regulatory agencies. Cleaning and sterilization instructions for our instruments were first tested and validated in 2008 by an independent testing laboratory. Copies of the cleaning and the sterilization validation reports are also included in the listing to the left for download and review.

When Time is of the Essence:
All steps were carefully followed per our cleaning and sterilization instructions, but the sterilization period was shortened to 3 minutes. Tests results for live microbes determined that the required ‘kill level’ was achieved and that our sterilization instructions are valid (and effective) for the 4 minutes per our recommendations and now for shorter 3 minutes cycles, as well. The microbiologist’s findings applied to both gravity and pre-vacuum cycles, whether the instruments are wrapped or unwrapped.
