Steris V-PRO maX using the Non Lumen, Flexible, or Lumen cycles
Steris V-PRO 1 Plus using the Non Lumen or Lumen cycles

The sterilization cycle parameters of the sterilizers are preset by the manufacturers and are not adjustable. The maximum product load per tray is one da Vinci Xi Endoscope. The length of the da Vinci Xi Endoscope is approximately 600 mm and the diameter of the shaft is 8.8 mm. The maximum weight of tray and endoscope is 8.9 lbs.
The Endoscope Sterilization Tray is not intended to maintain sterility; it is intended to be used in conjunction with a legally marketed, validated, FDA-cleared STERRAD and Steris compatible sterilization wrap in order to maintain sterility of the enclosed medical instrument.
