Autoclave Cycle Test: 20 cycles @ 121°C psig for 15 min. with fast dry cycle, followed by test for:
Property	Test Method	Typical Value
Volume Resistivity @ 500 volts	ASTM D 257	No change from original
Dielectric Strength in air @ 500 kv/min rise	ASTM D 149	No change from original
Dielectric Constant @ 1 Mhz	ASTM D 150	No change from original
Dissipation Factor @ 1 Mhz	ASTM D 150	No change from original

Notice to User: It is imperative that manufacturers and end-users understand that the electro-surgical instruments should be placed separately, without overlay, on autoclave trays. Potential damage caused by overlay in the autoclave will significantly reduce this and any other dielectric insulator’s ability to pass the 20 cycles of autoclave required by the AAMI.
