aqua dem
-> demineralized water
aqua dest
-> distilled water
Heating time
Time after switching the autoclave on or after starting a
sterilization program that is required to heat the double-
jacket steam generator before the sterilization procedure
starts; the length of time required depends on the
temperature used for sterilization.
Authorized persons
Technician from the depot or employee of a customer
service nominated by Sirona who has been trained by
Sirona.

Bowie - Dick test
Steam penetration test with a standard test package;
described in DIN EN 285; test is validated for large
sterilizers.
CF card
CompactFlash card; memory card for digital data.
Batch
Load of sterilized items that have jointly undergone the
same sterilization program.
Demineralized water
Water without the minerals that are normally present in
spring or tap water; obtained from normal tap water
using an ion exchange process. It is used here as feed
water.
Distilled water
Also referred to as aqua dest from the Latin aqua
destillata; is generally free of salts, organic material, and
microorganisms and is obtained from normal tap water or
pre-purified water using distillation (vaporization and
subsequent condensation). It is used here as feed water.

Dynamic sterilizer chamber pressure test
Used to verify that the rate of pressure changes in the
sterilizer chamber during a sterilization cycle does not
exceed a value that could lead to damage of the
packaging material [DIN EN 13060].

Single wrapping
Instruments wrapped in a single package—contrasted
with multiple wrapping
Evacuation
Creation of a vacuum in a container
Fractionated vacuum procedure
Technical procedure for steam sterilization;
involves repeated evacuation of the sterilizer chamber
alternating with steam intake.
FTP
(File Transfer Protocol) is a data transfer protocol used
to transmit files via the Internet. These data can contain
files or even information. Special FTP programs (FTP
clients) are used to upload the data to a server.
Mixed load
Wrapped and unwrapped items to be sterilized in a
single load
Hollow A
Object open on single end for which:
1 ≤ L/D ≤ 750 and L ≤ 1500 mm or
an object open on both ends for which:
2 ≤ L/D ≤ 1500 and L ≤ 3000 mm and which is not a
hollow B object
L...length of the cavity
D...diameter of the cavity
[DIN EN 13060]
Hollow B
Object open on single end for which:
1 ≤ L/D ≤ 5 and D ≥ 5 mm or
an object open on both ends for which:
2 ≤ L/D ≤ 10 and D ≥ 5 mm
L...length of the cavity
D...diameter of the cavity [DIN EN 13060]
Initialize
Production of a certain initial state for software when
starting up
Condensate
Liquid (e.g., water) that is produced upon cooling from
the vapor state and thus condenses.
Corrosion
Chemical change or destruction of metallic materials by
water and chemicals
Contamination
Here: Soiling of the sterilizer load with undesired or
harmful substances
