5.6 Cycle Selection
Touch-screen Pads
Four cycle selection touchpads are shown on the screen in
Figure 5-6. These pads display the basic parameters of the cycle:
•Cycle name
• Sterilization exposure temperature
• Sterilization exposure time
•Dry time
Additional cycles may be selected by pressing MORE CYCLES.
Details on individual cycles are in Section 6, Sterilizer Operation.
The AMSCO C Series Small Steam Sterilizer control can be
programmed to retain values for up to 12 separate cycles. User-
defined cycle names can be entered for cycles 1 and 2 on the cycle
selection screen.
• Prevacuum Sterilizers – The first six cycles (1 through 6) are
the factory default cycles and are routinely displayed on screen
#1 (press MORE CYCLES to access cycles 5 and 6). Up to six
additional cycles can be programmed and displayed.
• Steam Flush Pressure Pulse (SFPP) Sterilizers – The first five
cycles (1 through 4) are the factory default cycles and are
routinely displayed on screen #1 (press MORE CYCLES to
access cycle 5). Up to seven additional cycles can be
programmed and displayed.
Important: Applicable cycles have been validated to satisfy the
requirements outlined in Table 4-1 and Table 4-2. If cycle
parameters (sterilize time, dry time, temperature) other than those
listed are required, it is the responsibility of the healthcare facility to
follow the device manufacturer’s written instructions.
