9.1 Descriptions cycles
The autoclave has three series of cycles:

- operation cycles

- night cycles

- test cycles

9.2 Operation cycles
All operation cycles have a system of fractioned vacuum, which therefore permits
sterilization of materials that are hollow, porous, solid, both free and packaged.
Temperatures can be selected from 121° C – 134° C.
Normally the cycles of 121° C are used for thermoplastics o r sensitive materials, while the
134° C cycles are used for all other materials.
In all cases always follow the indications given by the manufacturer of the instruments or
devices to be sterilized.
There are also two special cycles:
- Prion cycle, studied for the Crutzfeldt-Jacobs disease (mad cow disease)
- Flash cycle created for rapid sterilization of unpackaged instruments and devices.
9.3 Test Cycles
The available test cycles are the following:
- Helix e B&D
- Vacuum test
9.4 Night cycles
The autoclave is provided with a special economizer device. This device allows the
execution of sterilization cycles without the presence of an operator. At the cycle end, if the
door is not opened, the autoclave stabilizes until the intervention of the operator.
