SYSTEM 1E Liquid Chemical Sterilant Processing System i
A WORD FROM STERIS CORPORATION
Overview The SYSTEM 1E® Liquid Chemical Sterilant Processing System is intended for the
liquid chemical sterilization of cleaned, immersible, and reusable critical and semi-
critical heat-sensitive medical devices in healthcare facilities.
The SYSTEM 1E Processor dilutes the S40® Sterilant Concentrate to its use
dilution (>1820 mg/L peracetic acid), liquid chemically sterilizes the load during a
controlled 6-minute exposure at 45.5 to 60°C, and rinses the load with extensively
treated* potable water. After completion of a cycle, critical devices should be used
immediately; semi-critical devices should be used immediately or may be handled
and stored in a manner similar to that of high level disinfected endoscopes. Critical
devices not used immediately should be processed again before use.
The SYSTEM 1E Processor uses only S40 Sterilant Concentrate to liquid chemically
sterilize medical devices.
*The extensive treatment of EPA potable water consists of:
1. Pre-filtration through two pre-filters:
Pre-filter A is a gross depth filter that removes approximately 2.5 micron or
larger particles/contaminants.
Pre-filter B is a surface filter that removes particles/contaminants >0.1 micron.
2. UV irradiation:
During transit through the UV water treatment chamber, a UV dose sufficient
to achieve a >6-log reduction of MS2 virus is delivered to the water.
3. 0.1 micron filtration:
The water prepared by pre-filtration and UV irradiation is filtered through
redundant 0.1 micron (absolute rated) membranes to remove bacteria, fungi
and protozoa > 0.1 micron.
Some devices are processed within containers that are closed with transparent
lids. The containers are not designed for device storage and should not be used
for this purpose.
NOTE: STERIS recommends that a device used in a critical application** be
processed in a container, where possible. Refer to your facility policies and
procedures for device reprocessing.
SYSTEM 1E Processors are to be used only by trained personnel who are fully
familiar with, and strictly comply with, the operating instructions and conditions
detailed in the Operator Manual, as well as any applicable Quick Connect processing
instructions. The warranty pertaining to equipment or products sold by STERIS is
contained in STERIS’s Terms and Conditions of Sale.
Important: Liquid chemical sterilization of a surgical or diagnostic device by the
SYSTEM 1E Processor requires that the liquid sterilant make contact with all exterior
and interior surfaces of the device. In the case of a device having internal channels
or other interior surfaces, the device manufacturer’s instructions should be reviewed
to determine the manufacturer’s recommendations for the preparation of the device
for liquid chemical sterilization or disinfection. STERIS is not responsible for the
adequacy of the device manufacturer’s instructions or the design of a device that
fails to permit liquid to contact the surfaces of all internal channels and components
of the devices. The device will not be liquid chemically sterilized if the sterilant does
not contact all interior and exterior surfaces of the device.
** Due to their size, a limited number of critical devices are processed in a processing tray. Go to www.
steris.com to determine how your specific device is processed.

The 35% peracetic acid used in this product is a corrosive liquid due to its low
pH. The container is designed to minimize user contact with the contents. Care
should be taken to minimize exposure to vapors, contact with the skin, and
contact with the eyes. The following safety precautions should be taken when
handling the S40 Sterilant Concentrate:
The sterilant concentrate should be used in a well ventilated room.
Conformance to AAMI ST58 is recommended.
Chemical-resistant gloves should be worn to protect hands from potential
contact with the liquid portion of the sterilant concentrate.
It is recommended that appropriate eye protection be worn to protect the
eyes from potential contact in the event of a splash. Note: This should not
occur if the integrity of the sterilant container has not been compromised
and the Operator Manual instructions for handling and inserting the
container into the processor are followed.
The peracetic acid concentrate solution is considered to have effects on the
eyes, skin, nose, throat and lungs based on acute exposure. These same sites
show signs of irritation upon repeated exposure.
Orally administered peracetic acid, in the concentrations found in the S40
Sterilant Concentrate, has been found to cause gastrointestinal tract irritation,
respiratory irritation and possible necrosis of renal tubules, in rats. Note: Orally
administered peracetic acid is classified as a GHS Category 3 material.
Inhalation of the sterilant concentrate has been shown to cause irritation of the
respiratory tract. Persons who are asthmatics may be more sensitive to the
effects of inhaled peracetic acid vapors. Note: Peracetic acid vapor is classified
as a GHS Category 1 material.
Application to the skin of a 17% peracetic acid solution is characterized by mild
skin irritation with reversible effects in dermal tissue and has caused severe
erythema, blanching of the skin, eschar formation, and exfoliation in rabbits. It
is severely irritating and corrosive to the skin. It will cause whiteness and can
cause blistering. Note: Application of a concentrated solution of peracetic acid
classifies it as a GHS Category 3 material.
Application of a 17% peracetic acid solution is severely irritating and corrosive
to the eye of rabbits. Note: It is classified as a Corrosive material.
