N Type Autoclave

[TOOLman]

So from what I have been reading, the N-Type autoclave is not recomended for bagged, hollow or porus instruments. So am I same to assume that you cannot clave tubes or grips in these then? The only claves suitable for hollow, bagged or porus instruments would be Vaccum claves? I don't want to assume but are most people using N-type claves and claving tubes and grips which manufactures say you shouldn't clave since they are both hollow? So to be entirely safe a vacuum clave is the only way to go?
any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi I believe type S vacuum is the correct autoclave to use ( but I may be wrong) :roll:
