Intended Use of Sterilization Trays

Sterilization trays are plastic and/or metal containers used to hold and protect surgical devices during the sterilization process. They consist of an interlocking tray and lid, which are both perforated to allow the passage of sterilizing agent from outside the tray to the devices placed inside.
Sterilization trays typically feature a silicon finger mat or group of device holders that secure devices during the sterilization process. Some models feature stacking internal trays to allow the segregation of devices.

Warnings

These instructions are validated only for sterilization of the tray and device(s) identified herein. Using combinations or parameters not described in this manual may result in incomplete sterilization.
These instructions do not replace the cleaning instructions provided with individual devices. Prior to sterilization, clean all devices as specified in their respective user manuals.
Wear appropriate protective equipment (gloves, eye protection, etc.) when processing any medical device.
Both the device and the tray must be cleaned prior to sterilization, or incomplete sterilization will result.
The sterilization tray, its lid, and any internal components have been designed and validated for use as a single system. Do not separate components from the system, for use individually or in combination, or incomplete sterilization may result.

Cautions

Before lifting the tray assembly, verify that the latches connecting the lid to the tray are secure.

Limitations On Processing

Do not cross-sterilize the tray. Using multiple sterilization methods may significantly reduce the performance of the tray.
Improper processing will negate the responsibility of Stryker for the performance of the device. Damage incurred by improper processing will not be covered by the warranty.

Processing Instructions apply to the sterilization tray only. For instructions on how to process the devices, consult their respective instructions for use.
Point of Use	Wipe excess soil from the tray. Prevent soil from drying by keeping device moist until ready for further processing.
Containment and Transportation	Follow the facility’s internal procedures for the transportation of contaminated surgical instruments and devices. Process device(s) / tray as soon as possible following use.
Preparation for Cleaning	Disassemble the tray into its individual components: base, lid, and (if applicable) silicon mat.
Pre-Treatment	For necessary materials and equipment, see Materials and Equipment table. Rinse device under cool, running utility water to remove gross soil from device. Ensure all external and any accessible internal surfaces are rinsed. Drain excess water from the device. Follow instructions for manual or automated cleaning.
Caution	Do not use brushes or pads with metal or abrasive materials to clean or disinfect the devices; as permanent scoring or damage could result. Do not allow devices to remain in any solution longer than the manufacturer’s indicated times; as corrosion or damage could result. Exposure to excessive pH will strip protective coatings from metals, especially aluminum.

Manual Cleaning	Soak Prepare a fresh solution of detergent with utility water according to the detergent manufacturer’s instructions. Immerse the device in the detergent solution, ensuring the solution contacts all inner and outer surfaces. Soak the device in the solution according to the detergent manufacturer’s recommendations.
	Brush With the device immersed in the solution, thoroughly brush the exterior with a soft- bristled brush, focusing on dead-end holes, mated or rough surfaces. Actuate and brush any movable parts in all extreme positions. With the device immersed in the solution, thoroughly brush any dead-end holes or hard-to reach areas of the device using a bottle brush.
	Rinse Rinse the device with critical water until all detergent residue is removed. Once all detergent residue is removed, continue to rinse for 10 seconds. Drain excess water from the device and dry it using a clean, lint-free cloth or pressurized air. Visually inspect each device for cleanliness, paying close attention to hard-to-reach areas. If visible soil remains, repeat steps 1-3.

Automated Cleaning And Optional Thermal Disinfection			Place the device in the automated washer on an incline to facilitate drainage. Operate the washer-disinfector cycle. The following minimum and maximum washer parameters have been validated for cleaning efficacy and device functionality:
