authority
• Steam
• Flash in either gravity displacement or pre-vacuum sterilizers
The minimum flash exposure times are shown in the following table:

kPa 3 minutes
NOTE:
The sterilized handle should only be fitted immediately before use.
NOTE:
Service Life of Sterilizable Handle: Frequent sterilization causes natural degradation of the
replaceable handle. If signs of material fatigue such as cracking or discoloration occur, the handle
should be replaced.
NOTE:
If preferred, sterile handle covers can be used, as described below, instead of replacing the
sterilizable handle after each procedure.
