Service Procedures Operator Manual P129394-176
10.1 General The material in this section is provided to allow for servicing
components of the sterilizer most likely to need attention. These
procedures are more advanced than cleaning and replacing
expendables (such as printer paper and door seals). These
procedures should always be performed by an experienced, trained
service technician.
10.2 Air Filter
Replacement
The purpose of the bacterial air filter is to filter air entering the
sterilization chamber. The chamber is exposed to contamination
whenever the filter or the air lines below the filter are opened. Keep
these components as clean as possible when servicing. The
bacterial air filter contains a replaceable filter cartridge; refer to
Table 8-1. Preventative Maintenance Schedule for frequency.
1. Remove the old filter element and discard.
2. Insert the new filter, P129360-802.
WARNING – BURN HAZARD: Allow sterilizer and accessories to cool to room temperature before
performing any cleaning or maintenance procedures.
WARNING – ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD: Disconnect all utilities to sterilizer before servicing. Do
not service the sterilizer unless all utilities have been properly locked out. Always follow OSHA
Lockout-Tagout and electrical safety-related work practice standards.
WARNING – PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD AND/OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD: The
performance of the 510k cleared AMSCO C Series Sterilizer is validated as a system including
components defined by STERIS in the Operator Manual and Service Manual for the AMSCO C
Series Sterilizer. Substitution of unauthorized components can potentially lead to personal injury,
damage or premature failure of the product and result in a unit configuration that is inconsistent
with the validated, FDA cleared product. STERIS' warranty is void if components are used that are
not approved. DO NOT USE components that are not validated as part of the AMSCO C Series
Sterilizer.
