The STERRAD®
NX™
Sterilizer creates, stores, displays, prints, and can
upload over a network several files
of
sterilizer and cycle-related data.
These files include cycle history files. Each file
is
explained
in
the
following sections.
Cycle
History
Files
Cycle history files contain very detailed infonnation about each
sterilization cycle. The files include identifying infonnation about the
operator, load, time, date, cycle duration infonnation, stage-by-stage data
from the sensors and controls, and related technical items. lnfonnation
is
extracted from the cycle history file to produce the short-fonnat report and
the long-fonnat report. The cycle history file contains infonnation that
is
vital to a facility's recordkeeping and traceability procedures. The
sterilizer's memory holds data from the last 50 cycles.
Cycle history files can
be
viewed and printed by users with Operator-level
access.
The following figure features an example
of
a Cycle Profile Graph that may
be
viewed for each cycle run by the sterilizer. This graph depicts plots
of
the chamber pressure, vaporizer pressure and hydrogen peroxide pressure.
From the Select Cycle History File screen, pressing the View Cycle button
will display the Cycle History screen. This screen shows the cycle data for
the sterilization cycle. The Cycle History screen also contains a Cycle
History
Grapb
button that will display the Cycle Graph.
