USEFUL LIFE
The useful life of the device is established in years 5 from the commissioning. For this period Titanox s.r.l.
guarantees the availability of spare parts and safe operation as long as the environmental and use conditions
defined in the instructions for use are respected by the user.
The supplier of the electronic card states that "the capacity of the memory of the mounted microprocessor is
1,000,000 cycles. By cycle we mean every ignition of the card: therefore in 10 years (3650 days) 274 daily
ignitions are allowed ... "
The manufacturer of the microprocessor does not guarantee its availability in the next 10 years: for this reason
TITANOX has decided to reduce the "useful life" to 5 years, thus having the tranquillity of being able to provide
customers with an efficient after-sales service.

INTENDED USE
The device is designed to be used in sanitary environments for the purpose of sterilizing non-heat
sensitive medical and surgical instruments. The process of disinfection is based exclusively on the
thermal destruction of the microorganisms present upon the instruments at a typical temperature of
about 180º C.
Effectively reaching a sterile state for the instruments inserted into the sterilizers depends upon
multiple factors:
The level of initial contamination of the instruments (total bacterial load);
The type of contaminating microorganisms;
The permeability of all the contaminated instrument parts by the hot air produced by the
sterilizer.
For more information see the paragraph **attention** ahead.
The device must be used only and exclusively by qualified personnel.
