These requirements, and others such as those relating to floor
loading, are specified in more detail on the installation drawing.
Installing a sterilizer in a wall opening
• There must be no trim, baseboards or similar objects within
approximately 5 centimeters (2 inch) from the edge of the opening
next to the wall opening for building in the sterilizer.
• Sterilizers installed in wall openings should be sealed to the wall in
order to separate the sterile and non-sterile sides. The edges of the
wall opening and the transition between the front plates of the
sterilizer and the wall should be finished in a properly hygienic
manner.
• Sterilizers with vertically-operating doors: These models have a
generous gap between the front plates of the sterilizer and the wall
opening. The gap must be covered with suitable fitting pieces.
Getinge sells an add-on system for this purpose.
• Sterilizers with horizontally-operating doors There are two
variants: either the front plates are designed to lie outside and overlap
the wall, or a gap is left between the wall and the plates. The version
with the gap must be sealed with silicone compound or similar. The
outside of the front plates meets the wall in this version so that a
smooth transition is obtained. The installation drawing shows the
specific installation method for a particular sterilizer.

porting a packed or not packed sterilizer thereby avoiding
