Subject: 121 or 134 Degree

Dear Colleagues,

Could anyone inform me if there is an advantage in sterilizing scope and fibre optic equipment on a 121 degree cycle rather than a 134 degree cycle? Would processing them at 121 degree rather than 134 degrees increase the life of the items?

The only one who is authorized to answer such a question and instruct you is the manufacturer of the goods you intend to sterilize.

Liebe Kollegen,
sollte der Hersteller eine Sterilisation bei 134°C zulassen, ist das für das Produkt der bessere Zyklus.
Begründung: die Chargenzeit ist bei 134°C wesentlich kürzer als bei 121°C und dadurch die thermische Belastung und die Druckbelastung für das Produkt deutlich geringer.
MfG J. Liesegang
