GENERAL INFORMATION
3.1.
Intended Use
This table-top autoclave is designed for sterilization of medical and
surgical goods such as unwrapped and wrapped, solid, hollow, porous
products and tubes in ophthalmic, dental and medical clinics, first aid
rooms, small laboratories etc.
3.2.
Introduction
This autoclave model is an electrically heated sterilizer using steam as a
sterilizing agent.
The autoclave is designed as Type B in accordance with EN13060.
This model is a prevacuum sterilizer having the following features;
An air removal stage (prevacuum), before starting the sterilizing
stage.
A post-sterilization drying phase, based on the combined operation
of heat and vacuum with air inlet pulses.
There are following safety devices installed in the autoclave to
optimize the safety operation:
1. Two thermostats, for over-heating of generator and the chamber.
2. Two safety pressure valves for generator and chamber.
An absolute digital display is used for monitoring and control
purposes. This device displays the pressure in kPa or in psi, according
to the operators requirement, and the absolute zero is displayed as 0.
This displayed pressure indicates the pressure in the chamber.
The advantages of the prevacuum sterilizer are as follows:
Removal of residual air from packs and porous load and most kinds
of tubes (rubber, plastic etc.) by vacuum at the first stage of the
cycle.
More efficient steam penetration into the load; assuring effective
sterilization.
Improved temperature uniformity.
Better drying of materials due to the vacuum achieved in the
chamber at the end of the sterilization cycle.
The printer prints the preset and actual parameters of the cycle
(temperature, time and pressure/vacuum).
This Manual is intended for the user and gives the user a general
understanding of the instrument and the best ways to operate and take
care of it in order to obtain effective results.
Before operating this autoclave read carefully the Operation Manual.
After reading this Manual, operating the autoclave will be easy.
However since this instrument is built with high technology sensitive
components, no attempt should be made by the user or any other
unauthorized person to repair or recalibrate it.
Only technical personnel having proper qualifications and holding
technical documentation (including a Technician Manual) and
adequate information are authorized to install and service the
apparatus.

Test 2: VacTest
Note:
Before performing this test, verify that the autoclave is cold and
that the autoclave is dry (not humid and no water drops).
Vacuum is produced in the chamber down to P1=17 kPa. At this stage
all the valves are close. The autoclave remains in this stage for 5
minutes. This period enables the condition in the chamber to reach
equilibrium. After the 5 minutes have elapsed the printer records the
pressure that is referred to as P2. At this point the test begins and lasts
10 minutes. At the end of the test, the printer records the results. The
pressure at the end of the test is referred to as P3. The rate of change of
P3-P2 shall not exceed 0.13 kPa/min. If P3-P2 exceed 1.3 kPa the printer
will print TEST FAIL. If P3-P2 is within the required value, the cycle
will end successfully and the printer will print "TEST ENDED".
