Sterilization

Autoclaving

Wrap the Acro 50 vent filter in autoclave paper and autoclave at 121-123 °C (250-253 °F) at approximately 1.0 bar (100 kPa, 15 psi) for a maximum of 20 minutes. Note: It may be necessary to run a drying cycle or air purge to remove residual condensation from the product before using. Reuse requires individual integrity testing and consideration for other problems including cross-contamination.

EtO

Specific cycles for sterilization and associated studies should be validated by the user.

Gamma Irradiation

Not recommended.
