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.
• The tray is not designed for use as a shipping container. To avoid damage,
remove all devices and pack them separately.
