Caution & Warnings

• Always inspect pouches for tears, punctures, or compromised seals before and after sterilization.
• Do not overfill pouches; ensure proper sealing for effective sterilization.
• The integrated indicator confirms exposure to sterilization conditions, not absolute sterility of contents. Use in conjunction with biological and physical monitors.
• These pouches are for single-use only. Do not reuse.
• Store unused pouches in their original packaging in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Dispose of used pouches and packaging according to facility protocols and local regulations for medical waste.
