Please review these guidelines before using the STERRAD^® System Sterility Guide.

This STERRAD^® Sterility Guide ("Guide") is intended for use in connection with a STERRAD^® Sterilization System only. If you do not have a STERRAD^® Sterilization System in a healthcare facility, or if you are using another brand of low temperature sterilizer, this Guide is not applicable and should not be relied on.

The Guide Provides Information on the Ability to Sterilize Certain Medical Devices in STERRAD^® Systems units

This Guide is intended solely to identify devices that both (i) are made of materials and (ii) have dimensional characteristics that have been cleared for sterilizing in a specific STERRAD^® Sterilization System identified by the medical device manufacturer. Such devices will be sterile if processed in a STERRAD^® Sterilization System in accordance with the appropriate STERRAD^® System User's Guide.

The Guide does not provide Information on the Functionality of Sterilized Medical Devices

This Guide does NOT advise STERRAD^® Sterilization System users whether the functionality of a particular device will be impaired if it is processed in a STERRAD^® Sterilization System. In order to determine whether the functionality of a particular device may be adversely impacted by processing in a STERRAD^® Sterilization System, the user must contact the manufacturer of the device in question.

In some cases, medical device manufacturers have indicated that the functionality of certain medical devices may be impaired if processed in a STERRAD^® Sterilization System. Such devices may be impaired EVEN THOUGH they may be made of materials and have dimensional characteristics that have been cleared for processing in STERRAD^® Sterilization Systems. STERRAD^® System users are encouraged to contact the manufacturers of devices they intend to process in the STERRAD^® Sterilization System for the most up to date information about processing particular devices in the STERRAD^® Sterilization System.

This Guide was prepared on the date indicated on the results screen. Medical device listings in the STERRAD® Sterility Guide are provided by the original device manufacturer. Because materials, manufacturing and repair processes may change, you are encouraged to contact the manufacturer of those devices intended to be processed in the STERRAD® Sterilization System for the most up to date information about processing particular devices in the STERRAD® Sterilization System.
