Example Cycle Report –Footer
The definitions for the column headings in the Table cycle report (Figure 51) are asfollows:
• Tc (C) is the chamber temperature (°C) read by the controlsensor
• Tm (C) is the chamber temperature (°C) read by monitorsensor
• Tld (C) is the load zone temperature (°C) of the chamber heatingblankets
• Tmid (C) is the middle load zone temperature (°C) of the chamber heatingblankets
• Tul (C) is unload zone temperature (°C) of the chamber heatingblankets
• Pc (mBar) is the chamber pressure (mBar) read by the controlsensor
• Pm (mBar) is the chamber pressure (mBar) read by monitorsensor
• HS (C) is heatsink (vaporizer) temperature(°C)
• RHc (%) is the chamber percent relative humidity (%RH) read by the controlsensor
• RHm (%) is the chamber percent relative humidity (%RH) read by monitorsensor
12.4. Cartridge Dispose Cycle for 3M™ Steri-Gas™ EOGasCartridges
The 3M™Steri-Vac™ Sterilizer/Aerator GS Series is designed with a specialized dispose cycle for full, damaged, expired, or excess 3M™ Steri-Gas™ EO Gas Cartridges. Cartridge Dispose
is a custom abbreviated cycle to safely empty and aerate Steri-Gas EO Gas Cartridges, one per cycle. This cycle cannot sterilize devices. The cycle time for a Cartridge Dispose cycle is estimated
to be less than four (4) hours. Dispose cycles are Supervisor cycles and require a SupervisorPIN.
