The quantity of instruments placed within the sterilizer chamber should not exceed the manufacturer’s recommended capacity. Tabletop sterilizers, which are most frequently used in individual and group practices, have a relatively small chamber and are easy to overload. Instruments, bagged or otherwise, should not be loaded in such a manner as to inhibit the free flow of steam around them.
