Warnings
Warnings are not error messages. They help you to ensure your autoclave functions trouble free and to identify
undesirable conditions. Pay prompt attention to these warnings to avoid errors.
Error messages
Error messages are shown on the display with an incident number. This number is used for identification.
If the safe operation or reliable sterilization cannot be assured, error messages are displayed.
These may appear on the display shortly after switching the autoclave on or while the program is running.
If an error occurs while a program is running, the program is ended.
RISK OF INFECTION
If a program is interrupted before the drying, the load is not sterile.
This endangers the health of your patients and the clinical team.
Wrap the items again if applicable and repeat the sterilization for the affected items.
Before calling customer service
Follow the instructions for dealing with a warning or error message shown on the display of the autoclave. You can also
find the most important incidents in the following table. The possible causes and the possible corresponding operating
instructions are listed for the incidents.
If you cannot find the particular incident in the table below or your efforts have not been successful, please contact your
specialist supplier. Please ensure you have the serial number of your autoclave and a detailed description of the fault in
the error message ready.
