Cycles to appear on the Main Screen (Figure 19) in place of the OperatorCycles. Figure 18shows the Cycles Option Menu - SupervisorCycles.

There are three (3) Supervisor Cycles: for each temperature of 38°C and 55°C. Program each cycle by following the step-by-step instructions as they appear on thescreen.
1. Aeration performs aeration only at the selected temperature. Duration is user-programmed in either 30minute intervals orcontinuous.
2. Cartridge dispose cycle is a custom abbreviated cycle used to safely empty and aerate 3M™ Steri-Gas™ EO Gas Cartridges at the rate of one per cycle. This cycle cannot sterilize
devices. Refer to the Cartridge Dispose Cycle - 3M™ Steri-Gas™ EO Gas Cartridges section for additionalinformation.
3. Half cycle is a cycle with half the gas exposure time for the selected temperature cycle: 2hours 15minutes for 38°C and 30minutes for 55°C. All other parameters for the half cycle are
the same as a full cycle. Half cycles are used for sterilizer qualification testing after major redesigns or for specific customerstudies.
