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 the
IBCL for frequency.
1. Remove the old filter element and discard.
2. Insert the new filter, P101006-172.
