6.5 Sterilizers with Post-Vac System
If your sterilizer is equipped with a Post-Vac system, then during the exhaust phase of
both the Fast and Dry cycles a vacuum will be drawn.
Following cycle completion of a Fast cycle, the buzzer will sound and the chamber will
draw down to a 28” vacuum and hold until either the “On-Off” switch is pressed or the
door is opened.
Following the Dry cycle, the chamber will draw down to a 28” vacuum. This vacuum
will be held for the amount of time set on the Dry Timer. After the Dry Timer counts
down to zero, the end of cycle buzzer will sound. At this point, press the “On-Off”
switch to release the vacuum. Before attempting to open door, wait a few minutes to give
chamber enough time to release the vacuum and return to atmospheric pressure. You
can observe the chamber pressure on the chamber pressure gauge.
