Hospitals and clinics used to be the only places to use an autoclave
sterilizer to sterilize the medical instruments. With all the super bugs
and possible lawsuits in the world today, steam autoclaves are being
used by tattoo parlors, beauty parlors, dentists and veterinarians.
However, the autoclave must be used correctly for complete
sterilization.
Read the medical instrument's instruction manuals to clean and lubricate the instruments correctly.

Remove all residue on the instruments. Damage will occur to
the sterilizer if any moisture, residue or mineral deposits are on the
instruments. Clean instruments with the "Clean and Simple Ultrasonic
Cleaning System" as soon as possible after use. When the ultrasonic
cycle is complete, remove instruments, rinse under water for 30 seconds
and pat dry.
Place the instruments in the autoclave in an open position.
Include a sterilization indication on each tray or in each wrapped pack.
Do not allow the instruments to touch in the autoclave. If sterilizing
canisters, insert them in the autoclave upside down to avoid any water
accumulation.
4
Leave a space of one inch between the trays of the autoclave to ensure circulation of the steam.
5
Wrap packs in a porous material that will allow the steam to
circulation around the instruments. The autoclave company probably
provides bags, paper, or towels that are compatible with the sterilizer.
