When a manufacturer give recommendations to sterilize an item in a prevac cycle, can you also run that item in a gravity cycle since the gravity cycle is a lower temperature? My thoughts are that you sterilize an item the way the manufacturer recommends because that is the way they validated sterilization. |

Because of these problems: According to the ISO and CEN international standards on sterilization, the process with downward displacement is only allowed for unwrapped instruments and bottled fluids." |
