20 OW NER’S MANU AL 4.2 ABRIDGED ILLU STRATED INSTRUCTIONS HOW ANPROLENE WORKS 1. The glass amp oule contains l iquid Ethy lene Oxide (EtO) and an inert sol id stabilize r. The ampou le is scored at the n eck for easy opening. 2. A plastic/fa bric break shie ld surrou nds the ampoule.
21 OW NER’S MANU AL 4.2 ABRIDGED ILLU STRATED INSTRUCTIONS HOW ANPROLENE WORKS 7. EtO gas rea dil y passes t hroug h cloth, paper, a nd Seal and Peel ® Packag ing to reach the items to be sterilized. 8. The walls of the ster ilizati on bag are a lso p orous to EtO gas.
22 OW NER’S MANU AL Thank you for using the Anprolene ® sterilizat ion system. The active ingr edient i n Anprolene is e thylene oxid e ( EtO or EO), a ch emical that can be haz ardous if not handle d properl y.
23 OW NER’S MANU AL A. Environmental Considerations 1) Temperature • Store your Anprolene gas refill kits in a cool, secure area. We recomm end storage below 72°F (22.2°C). • The sterilizer must be used in an area where the temperature is not less than 68ºF (20°C) or more than 91ºF (33°C).
24 OW NER’S MANU AL 3) Dry Two accepted ways to dry any item prior to sterilization with Anprolene are: 1. Towel drying 2. Drain drying (air drying).
25 OW NER’S MANU AL 4. Insert the purge tube into the sterilization liner bag with the aluminum bobbin and quick release fitting at the open end. Place the black Velcro® strap around the sterilization liner bag and the bobbin of th e purge tube, and pull it snug though its loop to close the sterilization liner bag.
26 OW NER’S MANU AL 4) Unloading the Sterilizer and Determining Sterility 1. Remove the sterilized items only after the sterilization cycle and 2-hour purge cy cle have been completed and the displa y indicates UNLOAD STERILIZER. The sterilizer will continue to aerate items th at are not rem oved immediately.
27 OW NER’S MANU AL ☺ HINT: The AN74 i/ix can be used for extende d aeration. A count-up timer will keep track of the time that has passed since the standard cycle was completed.
28 OW NER’S MANU AL • If a power outage occurs during any part of th e cycle, the sterilizer is equipped with a battery back up on the circuit board that will keep track of elapsed cycle time.
29 OW NER’S MANU AL Things that CAN be sterilized with Anprol ene but that require additional aeration: Any items that are m ad e of rubber, plastic, cl oth, are implanted or co me in direct contact with the skin, require additional aeration.

36 OW NER’S MANU AL Pre-Cycle Error Messages (Bef ore the ampoule is broken): The self test portion of the cycle begins when the START button is pressed and e nds after the initial purg- ing of the sterilization liner bag. Ethy lene Oxide has not be en released into the ster- ilization liner bag during the self test.
37 OW NER’S MANU AL Response: The cause of failure must be identified and corrected prior to starting the sterilization cycle. 6.5. PURGE PUMP FAILURE: Failure of the pu rge pump during the self te st por tion of the cycle will show the PURGE PU MP FAILURE m essage on the screen.
38 OW NER’S MANU AL Response: The cause of f ailure must be identified and corrected prior to starting the sterilization cycle. Error Messages During the Cycle (After the ampoule is activated) 6.
39 OW NER’S MANU AL If examination of the sterility indicators included with the load indicate adequate time/concentration exposure to ethylene oxide , the items in the sterilizer may be con- sidered sterile.
40 OW NER’S MANU AL The ventilation sensor monitors the vacuum between the cabinet ventilation pump and the interior of the cabinet. The pressure within the cabinet relative to the roo m is negative (vacuum) which ensures the steril izing gas which has diffused through the walls of the sterilization liner bag is retained within the cabinet.
41 OW NER’S MANU AL The first purge cycle takes place immediatel y prior to activation of the Anprolene am- poule and commencement of the sterilization c y cle.
