COMMISSIONING AND PREPARING THE STERILIZATION
Carry out the installation operations as described in PAR.6, the autoclave is ready to be
used. Pay attention to the instructions below:
1. Turn on the autoclave pressing the main switch. The autoclave pre-heats at 80°C; if it is
not used, it remains in the stand-by cycle for 60 minutes.
2. Open the door using the lever. In case you cannot open the door, check that the door
lock in not inserted. Pressing the "14A" to operate the door interlock, to carry out the
door release.
3. Load the instruments placing them on the supplied trays. It is fundamental not to overlap
the instruments or the bags and not to overload the trays.
4. To obtain a good drying it is important that the wrapped instruments are placed in the
trays with plastic side downwards and obviously the paper side upwards. This is done to
ease the output of air bubbles during sterilisation and the vapour drops condensed
during drying, as specified in PAR.7.
5. Each time a sterilisation cycle is carried out insert an integrator in the sterilisation chamber to
have the confirmation of the carried out sterilisation; we recommend to place the integrator in
the middle of the sterilisation chamber. It is recommend the use of SteriScan integrators.
6. Check the level of the distilled water making sure that the LED "LEVEL WATER TANK,
min." has turned on. If the LED has turned off, you can sterilise otherwise fill the tank as
described in PAR.9.
7. Close the door using the handle.
8. Select the cycle using the button "13A".
9. On the "TIME/MESS." display, the initials relating to the set cycle C1 (if the cycle 134°C,
not wrapped, has been set), C2 (if the cycle 134°C wrapped, has been set), C3 (if the
cycle 121°C, not wrapped, has been set), C4 (if the cycle 121°C, wrapped, has been
set) or C5 (if the cycle 134°C SPECIAL, without drying, has been set).
10. Press button "START/STOP". In this way, you start the fast cycle for pre-heating and on the
"TIME/MESS." display, the figure indicating the sterilisation time and including drying time
(without pre-heating time) will blink. The fast pre-heating cycle changes according to the
load to be sterilised and the temperature of the sterilisation chamber. During the pre-heating
cycle, the vacuum pump is started and creates vacuum in the chamber. On the
"TIME/MESS." display, the initials UAC indicating the operation of the vacuum pump are
displayed. Once the pre-set vacuum has been reached, some water is inserted in the
sterilisation chamber. Pressure and temperature increase to reaching the sterilisation
parameters. (The pressure and temperature parameters which are present in the chamber
are always visualised on the "PRESSURE" display, and on the "TEMPERATURE" display.
