4. Air Dry Only Cycle
This is not a sterilization cycle.
The Air Dry Only Cycle starts automatically after each sterilizing cycle and runs
for 60 minutes.
Air drying may be interrupted by pressing the STOP button. To ensure that the contents
of the cassette are dry, the cycle runs for up to 60 minutes, depending on the desired
Cycle Drying Time. Dryness is important for unwrapped instruments for corrosion
prevention. For wrapped instruments, a dry wrap is required to maintain sterility.
If the STOP button is pressed during the air drying stage of the sterilization cycle, and
the cassette has not been removed from the autoclave, the Air Dry Only cycle may be
used to promote further drying. If the cassette has been removed from the autoclave, it
may NOT be reinserted for the Air Dry Only cycle. If the cassette contains wrapped
instruments and the wraps are not dry when the cassette is opened, the instruments
must be handled in an aseptic manner for immediate use or resterilized.
To start, press the Air Dry Only cycle button, then press the START button.
When started independently, this cycle will run for the desired Cycle Drying Time.
