General
A C-17PLUS, C-22PLUS, C-28PLUS series steriliser is an electronic water steam steriliser that is
Characteristics entirely operated by a micro-processor with a large, printed stainless steel sterilisation chamber.
It is characterized by an advanced fractionated vacuum system for the complete removal of air,
even from hollow, porous materials, and an effective final vacuum drying phase capable of elimi-
nating all traces of humidity from any load.
Its exclusive steam generation system, effective plumbing circuit and electronic management
(supplemented by high-precision sensors) guarantees high process execution speeds and excel-
lent thermodynamic parameter stability.
Moreover, its Process Evaluation System constantly monitors all the machine's “vital” parameters
in real-time, guaranteeing absolute safety and a perfect result.
It offers users 6 sterilization programs (of which one completely PRESETble), all equipped with
customizable, optimized drying for the fast, effective sterilization of the various types of loads
(instruments and materials) used in a medical environment.
All the cycles are directly selectable via the LCD touchscreen, which also al-
lows complete device configuration according to the user’s requirements.
For the first time, a lighting system is available for the working area in front of the sterilization
chamber, which makes the daily operations ever easier and more comfortable.

Operating cycle The C-17PLUS, C-22PLUS, C-28PLUS series sterilisation programme can be effectively descri-
example bed as a succession of phases, each one with a very precise objective.
For example, the standard program (cycle B, 134°C - 4’): after loading the material in the cham-
ber, closing the door, selecting the program and starting the cycle (after locking the door opening
mechanism), the following sequence will be suggested (see the graph below):
1. preheating the generator and sterilization chamber;

2. removing the air and penetration of the material by steam through a series of vacuum (extraction
of the fluid from the sterilization chamber) and pressure(injection of steam into the chamber)
phases;
3. raising the pressure, with the consequent increase in the temperature of the steam, until reaching
the conditions required for sterilization (in the example, 134 °C);
4. stabilizing the pressure and temperature;
5. sterilizing for the required time (in the example, 4 minutes);
6. depressurizing the sterilization chamber;
7. vacuum-drying phase;
8. ventilating the load with sterile air;
9. bringing the pressure of the sterilization chamber back to the atmospheric level.
Having reached this last phase, you can unlock the door and remove the load from the steriliza-
tion chamber.
It should be emphasized that phases 1, 3, 4, 6 and 9 are identical in all cycles, with slight varia-
tions of duration that are solely dependent on the quantity and consistency of the load and the
heating conditions of the sterilizer while phases 2, 5, 7 and 8 clearly vary their configuration and/
or duration on the basis of the cycle selected (and, as a consequence, the type of load) and the
choices made by the user.

PREPARING THE First of all, it should be recalled that, when handling and managing contaminated material, it is
a good idea to take the following precautions:
MATERIAL
–– Wear rubber gloves of adequate thickness;
–– Clean your gloved hands with a germicide detergent;
Introduction
–– Always carry the instruments on a tray;
–– Never carry them in your hands;
–– Protect your hands from contact with any sharp points or edges; this will avoid the risk of
contracting a dangerous infection;
–– Immediately remove any article that does not need to be sterilized or that is not capable of
withstanding the process;
–– Carefully wash your still gloved hands when done handling non-sterile material.
All materials and/or instruments to be sterilized must be perfectly clean, without any type of re-
sidue (deposits of organic/inorganic material, fragments of paper, cotton/gauze pads, lime, etc.).
NOTE
IN ADDITION TO CAUSING PROBLEMS DURING STERILIZATION, THE FAI-
LURE TO CLEAN AND REMOVE RESIDUE CAN DAMAGE THE INSTRU-
MENTS AND/OR THE STERILIZER, ITSELF.
Treating the An effective cleaning consists of the following:

material before 1. Rinse the instruments under running water immediately after use;
sterilization
2. Separate metal instruments by type of material (carbon steel, stainless steel, brass, aluminum,
chromium, etc.), to avoid electrolytic oxidation-reduction;
3. Wash in an ultrasound cleaner using a mixture of water and germicidal solution, carefully following
the manufacturer's recommendations.
4. For best results, use a detergent specifically designed for ultrasound washing, with a neutral pH.
NOTE
SOLUTIONS CONTAINING PHENOLS OR QUATERNARY AMMONIA COM-
POUNDS CAN CAUSE CORROSION ON INSTRUMENTS AND THE METAL
PARTS OF ULTRASOUND DEVICES.
5. After washing, carefully rinse the instruments and make sure that residues have been completely
eliminated; if necessary, repeat the washing cycle or clean manually.
NOTE
TO AVOID THE FORMATION OF LIME SPOTS, RINSE WITH DEIONIZED OR
DISTILLED WATER, IF POSSIBLE. WHENEVER VERY HARD TAP WATER IS
USED, WE RECOMMEND ALWAYS DRYING THE INSTRUMENTS.
For handles (turbines, contra-angles, etc.), supplement the above with treatment in suitable dedi-
cated devices that provide effective internal cleaning (occasionally including lubrication).
NOTE
THE END OF THE STERILIZATION PROGRAM, REMEMBER TO LUBRICATE
THE INTERNAL HANDLE MECHANISMS USING THE SPECIAL STERILE OIL.
BY TAKING THESE PRECAUTIONS, THE INSTRUMENTS USEFUL LIFE WILL
NOT BE REDUCED IN ANY WAY.
WARNING
CONSULT THE INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED BY THE MANUFACTURER OF
THE INSTRUMENT/MATERIAL TO BE STERILIZED BEFORE SUBJECTING
IT TO AUTOCLAVE TREATMENT, CHECKING FOR ANY INCOMPATIBILITIES.
SCRUPULOUSLY FOLLOW THE METHODS OF USING DETERGENTS OR DI-
SINFECTANTS AND THE USAGE INSTRUCTIONS OF THE AUTOMATIC DE-
VICES FOR WASHING AND/OR LUBRICATING THEM.
24
On the other, as regards textile material (or porous, in general), such as smocks, napkins, caps
and other, carefully wash and then dry them before treating them in the autoclave.
NOTE
DO NOT USE DETERGENTS WITH A HIGH CONTENT OF CHLORINE AND/
OR PHOSPHATES. DO NOT BLEACH WITH CHLORINE-BASED PRODUCTS.
THESE SUBSTANCES CAN DAMAGE THE TRAY SUPPORTS, TRAYS AND
ANY METAL INSTRUMENTS THAT MAY BE PRESENT IN THE STERILIZA-
TION CHAMBER.
arranging Follow the instructions below for the most efficient sterilization process, preserve the material and
increase its useful life.
the load
General notes for positioning on trays:
–– Arrange instruments made of different metals (stainless steel, tempered steel, aluminum, etc.)
on different trays or well separated from each other;
–– In the case of instruments not made of stainless steel, place a paper sterilization napkin or a
muslin cloth between the tray and the tool, avoiding direct contact between the two different
materials;
–– In any case, arrange the objects sufficiently distant from each other that they will remain so for
the entire sterilization cycle;
–– Make sure that all instruments are sterilized in an open position;
–– Position cutting instruments, (scissors, scalpels, etc.) so they can not come into contact with
OK
each other during sterilization; if necessary, use a cotton or gauze cloth to isolate and protect
them;
–– Arrange recipients (glasses, cups, test tubes, etc.) resting on their side, or upended, so avoid
pooling water;
–– Do not load trays beyond their indicated limit (see Appendix A).
–– Since this value is understood to be the maximum allowed limit, it can be excessive in some
cases, so always use common sense.
–– Do not stack trays or put them in direct contact with the walls of the sterilization chamber.
OK
–– Always use the tray support provided.
–– To insert and extract trays from the sterilization chamber, always use the extractor provided.
NOTE
PLACE A CHEMICAL STERILIZATION INDICATOR ON EVERY TRAY TO IN-
DICATE THAT THE PROCESS HAS OCCURRED: THIS AVOIDS USELESSLY
REPROCESSING THE SAME LOAD OR, WORSE, USING NON-STERILIZED
MATERIAL. IF PROCESSING WRAPPED MATERIAL, PLACE THE INDICATOR
INSIDE ONE OF THE WRAPPINGS.
25
Notes for rubber and plastic tubing
OK – Always rinse before use with pyrogen-free water; do not dry them;
– Arrange the tubing on the tray so that their ends are not obstructed or crushed.
– Do not bend or wind them, but allow them to lie as straight as possible.
Notes for packets and packages
– Arrange packages side-by-side, suitably spaced and absolutely not piled, to avoid their co-
ming in contact with the walls of the chamber.
– Whenever it is necessary to wrap particular objects, always use suitably porous material (ste-
OK
rilization paper, muslin napkins, etc.), closing the wrapping with autoclave adhesive tape.
Notes for wrapped material
– Wrap instruments individually or, when more than one instrument are placed in the same
wrapping, make sure that they are made of the same metal;
– Seal the wrapping with adhesive tape for autoclaves or heat-sealing machines.
– Do not use staples, pins or other fasteners since they can compromise the maintenance of
sterility;
– Arrange the envelopes so as to avoid forming air pockets that obstruct the correct penetration
OK
and removal of the steam.
– Orient the envelopes so as to leave the plastic side up and the paper side down (tray side).
– In any case, check that they are correctly positioned, turning them over, if necessary.
– If possible, place the envelopes edgewise to the tray, with a suitable support.
–– Never superimpose envelopes on top of each other.
WARNING
If longer storage is recommended, always pack the instru-
ments using packaging materials conform to EN 868. SEE THE
CHAPTER, “PRESERVING STERILIZED MATERIAL”.
A sterilization cycle consists of a determined number of phases.
Program selection is fundamental for a successful sterilization process.

Since each instrument, or material in general, has different shape, consistency and properties, it
is important to identify the most suitable program for it, both for preserving its physical cha-
racteristics (avoiding or, at any rate, limiting alterations) as well to guarantee the most effective
sterilization.
A guide to selection of the program suited to the load is given in the Appendix Programs.
26
STERILIZATION A sterilization cycle consists of a determined number of phases. The number and duration of the
phases can differ for the programs, based on the type of air extraction, sterilization process and
CYCLES drying method.
The electronic control system monitors the various phases, at the same time checking that the
various parameters are respected; if any type of anomaly is encountered during the cycle, the
program is immediately interrupted, generating an alarm identified by a code, with a relative mes-
sage explaining the nature of the problem.
With this type of control, when you select a suitable sterilization program, you are guaranteed
perfect sterilization under any conditions.
After inserting the load in the sterilization chamber (taking the precautions described in the sec-
tion “Preparing the material to be sterilized”) , select the desired sterilization cycle as follows:

MATERIAL STORAGE The sterilized material must be adequately treated and stored to maintain its sterility over time,
until its use.
Inadequate storage can cause rapid recontamination.
This leads to problems regardless of what you do since you will either be using recontaminated
material (most of the time unconsciously), placing the user and patient at risk, or you will have to
run the sterilization cycle again, with an inevitable waste of time and resources.
For this reason, we think it will be useful to provide several basic suggestions, leaving the opera-
tor the task of further study of specific texts.
Assuming that the sterilizer is located in a clean place, free of dust and not too damp, the following
precautions should be taken when handling and/or carrying sterile material:
1. Remove the load from the sterilization chamber wearing gloves and a clean, or even better,
sterilized smock. As an additional precaution, wear a protective mask on your face;
2. Rest the tray on a dry, suitably clean and disinfected surface. Take care to distance or, at any
rate, separate the sterile material from the area where contaminated material is kept waiting
to be sterilized;
3. Touch the material and/or instruments as little as possible, taking extreme care not to cut or
damage the wrappings;
4. Let the instruments cool before any transport (and subsequent storage). If necessary for transport,
transfer the material using dry, clean and disinfected containers. The containers must be
closed or, if open, covered with clean cloths.
Sterile material waiting for used must be stored using the appropriate techniques. These will
significantly slow recontamination:
1. Store the material and/or instruments in the protective wrappings that were used during
sterilization. Do not wrap the instruments after sterilization since, in addition to being useless
and completely senseless, is also potentially damaging;
2. Store the material in a dry, suitably clean and disinfected place, far from the area where infected
material passes. If possible, use closed compartments equipped with ultraviolet light;
3. Identify the sterile material by attaching the sterilization data (attaching a copy of the printed
report or an adhesive label);
4. First use the material that has been stored the longest (FIFO, "First In First Out"). This results
in material that is homogeneously stored, avoiding storing for too long, with the consequent
risks.
5. Never store material for too long. In fact, do not overlook the fact that materials will tend to degrade
and be recontaminated in a finite time, even when the above instructions are followed.
NOTE
Consult the specifications provided by the manufacturer of
the packaging material relative to the maximum allowed stora-
ge time. In the absence of appropriate instructions, do not exceed
the following storage periods:
Basket with sealing ring or container without ga-

1-2 days
sket
Container with filter and gasket or container with
30 days
valves.
Single-ply “Medical Grade” paper 1-2 days
Double-ply “Medical Grade” paper (orthogonal) 30 days
Polyester / polypropylene paper covering, single 30 days
Polyester / polyproylene paper covering, double 60 days
The values indicated refer to material that has been properly

stored.

TEST PROGRAMS To protect the safety of users and patients, a fundamental process like sterilizing medical devices
should be periodically checked.
In this regard, the C-17PLUS, C-22PLUS, C-28PLUS series offer the possibility of easily and
Introduction
automatically executing two distinct test cycles:
• Helix/B&D Test
• Vacuum Test
a program that executes the two tests combined is also available (Vacuum Test + B/D Test).
There is also a further test to check the water quality: H2O TEST.
Helix/BD Test is a cycle run at 134°C characterised by a sterilization phase that lasts a specific
time (3.5 minutes); the cycle comprises the fractionated vacuum phases similar to those used in
the UNIVERSAL cycles.
Using an appropriate device, you can assess correct steam penetration into hollow loads.
The cycle is also suitable to measure steam penetration into porous loads (Bowie & Dicktest
pack).

The test device (in accordance with EN 867-5 specifications) consists of a 1.5m-long PTFE tube
with an inside diameter of 2mm to whose end a small hermetically-sealed screw cap is fastened,
able to contain an appropriate chemical indicator. The other end of the tube is left free so that the
steam can penetrate and you can assess its effectiveness.
To conduct the test (with reference to EN 13060), insert the chemical indicator (consisting of a
paper strip with a special reagent ink) in the device cap (always to be used perfectly dry). Tighten
the cap in such a way that seepage through the gasket is not possible.
NOTE
The test device and the chemical indicators to execute the
Helix/BD Test cycle are not provided with the sterilizer. For
information in this regard, contact Customer Service (see Ap-
pendix).
Place the device roughly in the middle of the central tray. Do not insert other material in the cham-
ber. Close the door and start the cycle.
The test cycle takes place with a succession of phases similar to those described for a normal
sterilization cycle.
At the end of the cycle, remove the test device from the chamber, open the cap and remove the
indicator from its housing.
If the steam has correctly penetrated, the ink will have completely changed its original colour
over the entire length of the strip; if not (insufficient penetration), there will only be a partial colour
change or even no change at all.
NOTE
Normally, the colour changes from a light colour (beige,
yellow, etc.) to a dark colour (blue, violet or black). In any
event, strictly follow the instructions and any additional
technical details provided by the indicator manufacturer.
34
cycle VACUUM TEST The Vacuum Test cycle allows testing perfect seal of the sterilizer hydraulic system.
Measuring the variation of the degree of vacuum in a defined time-frame and comparing it with
pre-established limit values, you can determine how good the seal of the sterilization chamber,
tubes and the various interception devices is.
To select the Vacuum Test cycle, select Vacuum Test using the arrows and confirm with OK.

NOTE
RUN THE VACUUM TEST AS THE FIRST CYCLE AFTER POWERING-ON THE
EQUIPMENT.
A high chamber temperature affects the variation in the vacuum value measured during the test;
the system is therefore programmed to prevent execution of the test when the operating condi-
tions are inadequate.
Close the door and start the program.
The vacuum phase starts immediately and the pressure value (bar) and the countdown from the
start of the test cycle is shown on the display.
NOTE
If the pressure variation exceeds the limit defined, the pro-
gram is interrupted and an alarm message generated. For a
complete description of the alarms, refer to the Appendix.

ETHERNET
The C-17PLUS, C-22PLUS, C-28PLUS series sterilizers can be connected to a local Ethernet
network using the connector on the rear of the machine.
Using a web browser (Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox etc.) from a PC or another device (ta-
blet, smartphone, etc.) connected to the local network, you can, if you know the TCP-IP number
assigned to the sterilizer, query it to check the operating status. From the sterilizer web page you
can also download the sterilization reports of the cycles executed in order to consult or store them.
For network configuration, the sterilizer supports the DHCP protocol.

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a TCP-IP protocol that allows a device to dialo-
gue with a dedicated server and automatically receive the configuration data necessary to cor-
rectly communicate on the network.
In small networks, the DHCP server functions are very often integrated in the router connected
to the Internet.
For correct configuration of the sterilizer, five types of use are described below:
1) Connection to a local network with DHCP server and sterilizer in automatic configuration.
2) Connection to a local network with DHCP server and sterilizer configured with static IP.
3) Connection to a local network manually configured with “static” IPs.
4) Direct connection via Ethernet cable between a sterilizer and a PC.
5) “Virtual point-to-point” connection between a sterilizer and a PC that uses the automatic DHCP
configuration in a local network.
Local Ethernet network configurations
To set the parameters, select the following option:

Check that automatic DHCP configuration is selected .

With this selection, all the numerical fields on the page are disabled (they turn grey).
With this setting, each time the sterilizer is turned on, it asks the network DHCP server for its
configuration using the DHCP protocol.
Based on the DHCP server configuration, the number assigned may vary each time the sterilizer
is turned on.
The TCP-IP number assigned to the sterilizer appears on the sky-blue bar at the top of the first
page (Home).
Type the number read on the sterilizer in the address field of the web browser.
43
The program will display the web page:
(in the example, the web page address is http://10.20.8.115)
Normally, you can set the DHCP server so that the same IP number is always assigned to a given
device or assign the same number to a certain device for a set period of time. For these settings,
consult the instruction manuals of your local network DHCP server or Internet router.
For these settings, you need to know the MAC address of the sterilizer, which is shown at the
bottom left of the Ethernet configuration page.

2) Connection to a local network with DHCP server and sterilizer

configured with static IP.
To avoid the inconvenience of having to frequently check the TCP-IP number dynamically
assigned by a DHCP server, you can manually assign a fixed number belonging to the dynamic
numbering of the local network.
However, to prevent conflicts, it is essential that you:
- Configure the DHCP server so that it does not assign the chosen number to other devices.
or
- Statically assign a number to the sterilizer outside the range assigned by the DHCP server.
For the information necessary for a correct configuration, check the local network DHCP server
settings.
To assign a static IP address to the sterilizer:
Access the Data Management menu.
Check that automatic DHCP configuration is selected.
With this selection, all the numerical fields on the page are disabled (they turn grey).

44
Read the first three numbers of the local network numbering; in the example shown above, the
first three numbers are:
10.20.8.xxx.
Note: Alternatively, in Windows systems you can use the IPCONFIG command from a "Command
prompt" window (accessible from Programs -> Accessories) to read the local network configura-
tion.
At this point, you need to statically set the new number as follows:
1) Select manual configuration .

2) Set the values read (e.g. 10.20.8) in the first three address fields.
3) Assign the chosen number to the last value, for example 222 (outside the range automatically
assigned and do not use the numbers 0 and 255).
4) Check that the Subnet Mask field is set to 255.255.255.0
5) The Gateway address is not important for communications on the network (set 0.0.0.0).
The complete IP address (in this example) will therefore be: 10.20.8.222.
To connect to the sterilizer, enter the new number in the web browser address field as described
above (http://10.20.8.222).
The program will display the sterilizer web page.
3) Connection to a local network with DHCP server manually configured

with “static” IPs.
If the local network is configured in static mode, you need to assign the IP number as follows:
Network config.
Check that manual configuration is selected .

Normally, static networks (like many small or domestic networks) have a range of addresses se-
lected from so-called “masked” networks, for example, 192.168.0.xxx or 192.168.1.xxx.
For correct configuration, all you need to do is assign a number belonging to the local network
(first three values) and the last number must not be used by another device. ). In Windows sy-
stems you can use the IPCONFIG command from a "Command prompt" window (accessible from
Programs -> Accessories) to read the local network numbering.
To check the numbers already assigned to a local network, there are programs that scan the
devices present in the network (IP scan).
The sterilizer by default suggests 192.168.1.100 as its IP address.
Adapt the static address of the sterilizer to your network.
In any event, you need to assign correctly the number 255.255.255.0 to the Subnet Mask; the
Gateway address is not important for communications on the network (set 0.0.0.0).

For the PC to be able to connect, it should have a configuration similar to that shown below (the
example refers to Windows 7):
The configuration panel can be accessed via Properties of the network card.
4) Direct connection via Ethernet cable between a sterilizer and a PC.

You can directly connect a PC (e.g. notebook) and a sterilizer via an Ethernet cable without both
having to be connected to a local network.
To make the connection, the PC and the sterilizer need to be configured in static mode, as de-
scribed in the example above, making sure that both devices have the same numbering in the first
three fields (for example: PC 192.168.1.10 - sterilizer 192.168.1.100).
Network config.
46
Do not use the numbers 0 and 255 for the last address field.
Configure the PC as shown below:
5) “Virtual point-to-point” connection between a sterilizer and a PC that

uses the automatic DHCP configuration in a local network.
You can configure a “static” connection between the sterilizer and a PC that already uses DHCP
for its operations on the local network.
To do this, the sterilizer needs to be configured in “static” mode.

INTRODUCTION
The steam sterilizer is appropriate for almost all materials and instruments, so long as they are able to tolerate, without damage, a
minimum temperature of 121 °C (otherwise, you will need to use other low-temperature sterilization systems).
The following material can normally be sterilized with steam:
– Stainless steel surgical/generic instruments;

– Carbon steel surgical/generic instruments;
– Rotating and/or vibrating instruments driven by compressed air (turbines) or mechanical transmission (counter-angles, tooth
scalers);
– Glass articles:
– Mineral-based articles;
– Articles made of heat-resistant plastic;
– Articles made of heat-resistant rubber;
– Heat-resistant textiles;
– Medication materials (gauze, pads, etc.);
– Other generic material suitable for autoclave treatment.
NOTE
DEPENDING ON THE CONFORMATION OF THE MATERIAL (SOLID, HOLLOW OR POROUS),
ANY PACKAGING (PAPER/PLASTIC ENVELOPE, STERILIZATION PAPER, CONTAINER,
MUSLIN NAPKIN, ETC.) AND ITS HEAT-RESISTANCE, IT IS INDISPENSABLE THAT YOU
CHOOSE THE APPROPRIATE PROGRAM BY REFERRING TO THE TABLE SHOWN ON THE
NEXT PAGE.
WARNING
THE DEVICE MAY NOT BE USED FOR STERILIZATION OF FLUIDS, LIQUIDS OR
PHARMACEUTICAL PRODUCTS.

APPENDIX – MAINTENANCE
In addition to correct use, the user needs to perform ordinary maintenance in order to guarantee safe, efficient operation over the
device’s entire life.
Introduction For better quality maintenance, supplement ordinary checks with regular periodic examinations
by the service department (see Appendix).
It is also fundamental to perform a periodic sterilizer validation, i.e., a check of the

thermodynamic parameters of the process, comparing them with the reference values
provided with suitably calibrated instruments. In this regard, see the paragraph, “Periodic
Sterilizer’s Validation”, further below in this Appendix.
The ordinary maintenance described below consists in easy manual operations and preventive
interventions involving simple instruments.
WARNING
In the event of the replacement of the device’s components
or parts, request and/or use ORIGINAL REPLACEMENT PARTS
ONLY.
Ordinary The table summarizes the maintenance required to keep the sterilizer operating at peak
efficiency. In the case of very intense use, we recommend shortening maintenance intervals:

NOTE
TO ACHIEVE THE BEST PERFORMANCE OF THE DEVICE, REGULAR MAIN-
TENANCE MUST BE CARRIED OUT ON A REGULAR BASIS.
PERIODICALLY A MESSAGE WILL BE DISPLAYED REQUESTING THAT THE
ABOVE MAINTENANCE CHECKS BE PERFORMED.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION OR IN CASE OF DOUBT, CONTACT THE
TECHNICAL SERVICE: IF THEY HAVE PERFORMED REGULAR MAINTE-
NANCE ON THE DEVICE, THE TECHNICIAN MIGHT HAVE ALREADY CAR-
RIED OUT SOME OF THESE OPERATIONS (EXAMPLE: BACTERIOLOGICAL
FILTER OR GASKET REPLACEMENT).
Keep the following general warnings in mind:
–– Do not wash the sterilizer with direct jets of water, either under pressure or sprinkled. Seepage into
electrical and electronic components could damage the functioning of the device or its internal parts,
even irreparably;
–– Do not use abrasive cloths, metal brushes (or other aggressive materials) or metal-cleaning
products, whether solids or liquids, to clean the device or sterilization chamber;
–– Do not use chemical products or disinfectants to clean the sterilization chamber. In fact, these
products can damage the sterilization chamber, even irreparably;
–– Do not allow lime residue or other substances to accumulate in the sterilization chamber or on the
door and its gasket, but periodically remove them. In fact, they can damage these parts over time
in addition to compromising the operation of the components installed along the plumbing circuit.
NOTE
THE FORMATION OF WHITE SPOTS ON THE BASE OF THE INTERNAL
WALLS OF THE STERILIZATION CHAMBER MEANS THAT YOU ARE USING
LOW-QUALITY DEMINERALIZED WATER.

DANGER
BEFORE PERFORMING ORDINARY MAINTENANCE, MAKE SURE THAT THE
POWER SUPPLY CORD IS REMOVED FROM THE MAINS SOCKET.
WHENEVER IT IS NOT POSSIBLE, PUT IN OFF THE EXTERNAL BREAKER

OF THE EQUIPMENT POWER SUPPLY LINE.
IF THE EXTERNAL BREAKER IS FAR AWAY OR, AT ANY RATE, NOT VISIBLE
TO THE MAINTAINER, PLACE A WORK IN PROGRESS SIGN ON THE
EXTERNAL BREAKER AFTER TURNING IT OFF.
Maintenance Let’s now look at the various operations to be carried out.

Description
Clean gasket and porthole To eliminate any traces of limestone, clean the chamber gasket and the door window with a clean
cotton cloth that has been soaked in a weak solution of water and vinegar (or a similar product;
verify the contents on the label before using).
Dry the surfaces and remove any residues before using the device.
Clean external surfaces Clean all the external parts using a clean cotton cloth dampened with water and, possibly, the
addition of a neutral detergent.
Dry the surfaces and remove any residue before using the device.
Clean sterilization chamber Clean the sterilization chamber, support and trays (and internal surfaces in general) with a clean
and accessories cotton cloth soaked in water and, possibly, the addition of a small amount of neutral detergent.
Carefully rinse with distilled water, taking care not to leave any type of residue in the chamber or
on accessories.
NOTE
Do not use pointed or sharp tools to remove scale from the
sterilization chamber. Should there be evident deposits, im-
mediately check the quality of the distilled water used (see
Appendix Technical Features).
Disinfect external surfaces For the occasional disinfection of the external surfaces, you can use either denatured alcohol or
detergents with a minimum percentage of sodium hypochlorite (or equivalent).
66
Boiler filter cleaning With use it is likely that various residues accumulate in the filter and with time obstruct the lower
drain duct.
To clean the filter, open the sterilizer door and remove the cap using a coin or another suitable
tool.
Remove the filter from its holder and thoroughly clean it under a jet of running water, if necessary
using a sharp tool to remove any large foreign bodies (if possible use a jet of compressed air).
If it is impossible to recover the filter, replace it with a new one.
Refit everything operating in reverse order from removal and making sure that you screw the
union (2) on in such a way that the drain holes (4) are positioned at the level of the boiler wall.
NOTE
Properly fit the filter in its housing; fitting it only partially
may damage the component.
Door lock lubrication Using a clean cloth, remove any residues from the bushing and the screw.
Lubricate the inside of the bushing on the sterilizer door with a film of the silicon-based grease
provided (as shown in the figure).
NOTE
PUT ON SINGLE-USE GLOVES BEFORE APPLICATION.
ESSENTIALLY, THE LUBRICANT IS NOT IRRITANT TO THE SKIN; NEVER-
THELESS, IT MAY CAUSE UNPLEASANT EFFECTS IF IT ACCIDENTALLY
COMES INTO CONTACT WITH THE EYES.
IN CASE OF CONTACT WITH THE EYES, RINSE WITH ABUNDANT WATER.
67
Dust filter cleaning Remove the dust filter (A) from the lower part of the autoclave, thoroughly rinse it with water and
dry it before refitting it.
Replace the bacteriological When filter maintenance is due according to the maintenance schedule or every time you notice
filter visible clogging of the filter (indicated by the filter markedly turning grey), unscrew the bacterio-
logical filter (B) from its holder and replace it with a new one, screwing it fully down on the union.
NOTE
A spare bacteriological filter is provided with the sterilizer.
If you need additional parts of this component (the only re-
placeable by the user) Refer to Appendix technical assistan-
ce.
Water tank cleaning Empty the tanks (C) containing the autoclave feedwater and wastewater, remove any deposits
around the filter (D) on the bottom of the tank (see figure).
After removing and cleaning the filter, wipe the inside of the tanks with a dry cloth and clean
thoroughly.
C C
When cleaning is complete, refit the filter in the tank.
NOTE
DO NOT USE CLEANING PRODUCTS INSIDE THE TANK. USE A DRY CLOTH
ONLY.
Boiler gasket replacement It is advisable to have the boiler gasket replaced by an authorised technician, therefore, contact
Technical Service (see APPENDIX – TECHNICAL SERVICE).
68
Periodic sterilizer As happens with all equipment, it is possible, and sometimes inevitable, to have a decrease in
validation performance and the effectiveness of components along its lifespan, in a period of time dependent
on its frequency of use.
To guarantee the safety of the process over time, it is periodically (possibly annually) necessary
to verify the thermodynamic process parameters (pressure and temperature), to check if they
continue to remain within allowed limits or not.
The requalification of the sterilizer’s performance is the responsibility of the user of the product.
The reference European standards EN 17665 (Sterilization of the medical devices - Method for
the validation and systematic control of the steam sterilization) and EN 556 (Sterilization of the
medical devices – Requirements for the medical devices marked with “STERILE” indication)
supply an effective guide tool for carrying out the verifications on the steam sterilizers.
Since, in addition to specific experience and training, these controls require the use of special
equipment (high-precision sensors and probes, data loggers, dedicated software, etc.) suitably
verified and calibrated, it is necessary to contact a company specializing in these activities.
Customer support department (see Appendix is available to provide any information relative to
the periodic validation of steam sterilizers.
DISPOSAL at In accordance with Directives 2002/95/ EC, 2002/96/ EC and 2003/108/ EC, regarding the
reduction in use of dangerous substances in electrical and electronic equipment, as well as waste
end-of-life

APPENDIX – GENERAL PROBLEMS
Introduction
If you run into a problem or alarm while using the device, you should not be immediately concerned.
It may not, in fact, be related to a breakdown but, more probably to an anomalous situation, often merely transitory (such as a
blackout), or incorrect use.
In any case, it is important to first identify the cause of the anomaly and then take suitable corrective action, either autonomously or
with the help of the Technical Support Department (see Appendix Z).
For this purpose, below, we provide instructions for diagnosing and resolving general problems, in addition to a precise description of
the alarm codes, their meaning and their solution.
Analysis and resolution of problems

If your sterilizer is not working correctly, please make the following checks before calling the Technical Support Department:

This data is indicated on the registration plate on the rear of
the device and on the declaration of conformity
Introduction Every time an anomalous condition occurs during the operation of the sterilizer, an alarm is
generated, identified by a specific code (consisting of a letter followed by a 3-digit number).
Alarm codes are divided into three categories:
• E = ERROR/WARNING
Incorrect handling and/or use or a cause outside the device.
The problem can normally be solved by the user.
Code format: Exxx (xxx = identification number 000 - 999)
• A = ALARM
First level fault
The problem can normally be solved on site by a specialised technician.
Code format: Axxx (xxx = identification number 000 - 999)
• H = HAZARD
Second level fault
The problem can normally be solved by the Technical Service Centre.
Code format: Hxxx (xxx = identification number 000 - 999)
• S = SYSTEM ERROR
Electronic system error (HW-FW).
Code format: Sxxx (xxx = identification number 000 - 999)
