Requirements for such tests are defined and specified in the product standard along with the number of cycles for each test procedure. Other, additional tests may also be required.

The autoclave test attempts to simulate the service environment; therefore based on recommended sterilization methods.

ISO 13402 Test Method

Immerse the device in a container of non-reactive copper sulfate solution at room temperature. Instruments that are too large for full immersion should be partially submerged or tested with drops of solution. The copper sulfate solution should remain in contact with the instrument for 5,5 minutes to 6,5 minutes. Rinse the instrument thoroughly with tap water and rub vigorously with a cloth to remove the non-stick copper coating.
