OWNER’S MANUAL
Knowing how to properly use the Anprolene system is important. With this in mind, we have included the
Operator Training and Education Section found in Section 4, beginning on page 17. Illustrated
instructions and information on humidification are included in the training section. In addition, you will
also find information concerning the Andersen Key Operator Certification Program. The Key Operator
Program covers all aspects of effective use of your Anprolene sterilizer and is offered free of charge for
the lifetime of the sterilizer. After reviewing the enclosed training material, please call 800-523-1276 or
336-376-3000 to schedule your exam. Outside the United States and Canada, please contact your local
distributor.
A list of suggested items that can be sterilized in the Anprolene sterilizer can be found on pages 28 and 29
of this manual. CAUTION: Food and drugs may not be sterilized because Ethylene Oxide may change
their chemical composition. If you are not certain about an item’s suitability for Ethylene Oxide steriliza-
tion, please contact an Andersen Customer Service Representative.
Section 6 of this manual covers Troubleshooting and Error Messages and begins on page 34.
Installation requirements and instructions are discussed in Appendices B through D, beginning on page 46.
Please call Customer Service at 800-523-1276 or 336-376-3000 for repair services. Outside the United
States and Canada, please contact your local distributor.
Instructions on preparation of products prior to sterilization appear in Section 1, beginning on page 5.
Accessories for use with your Anprolene sterilizer can be found in Section 5, beginning on page 30.
WARNING! If the Anprolene sterilizer is not installed and operated in the manner specified by
Andersen Products, the protection provided by the equipment may be seriously impaired.
DANGER! Ethylene Oxide is a Cancer and Reproductive hazard. Refer to MSDS on page 68 and EPA
approved labeling on all Anprolene refill kits for complete instructions and warnings.

Congratulations on your purchase of an AN74i / AN74ix An-
prolene
®
Sterilizer. For over 30 years, Andersen Products has
been a leader in tabletop Ethylene Oxide sterilization. With the
installation of your sterilizer, you join thousands of healthcare
facilities worldwide using an Andersen Products’ sterilization sys-
tem.
Please read the entire Owner’s Manual prior to installing
and using your new machine.
The Andersen Anprolene sterilizer uses less than 20% of the
amount of Ethylene Oxide gas of our nearest competitor (less than
18 grams). However, please note that Ethylene Oxide can be haz-
ardous if not properly handled. Ethylene Oxide is also highly
flammable, so precautions should be taken to avoid improper in-
stallation or operation of the equipment near spark or open flame.
