HS 66-autoclaves have to be supplied with electricity, cold water,
compressed air and steam. When steam is supplied from a central
steam-producing plant, its distribution system is required to be correctly
pressure-reduced, protected by a safety valve and produce a quality of
steam which is suitable in the context of sterilization. (For some
versions the pressure reducer is already fitted)
If the steam is not suitable in the context of sterilization, a steam
generator can be installed inside the trim plates on all models. The task
of the steam generator is to generate pure steam using the centrally
produced steam.
If there is no steam network or there are reasons for not using the
steam network, an electric steam generator may be installed inside the
trim plates on all models.
Overview of safety devices
Additional information about the above safety components are given in
the “Safety checks”, “Technical data” and “Periodic maintenance”
sections of the TECHNICAL MANUAL.
Safety components
Every unit is equipped with a number of components with the specific
purpose of ensuring the safety of personnel. These items are marked
with a warning triangle below in the following documents:
• electrical diagrams
• pipework diagrams
• spare parts lists
These components have undergone special tests before being
accepted as safety components. For this reason, they must not be
replaced with components of any make or design that has not been
approved by GETINGE.
Cladding and front panels must prevent access to the parts
of the installation that are normally accessible only to
trained personnel.
General access to an installation supplied without
cladding, which should normally only be maintained by
trained personnel must be prevented. A convenient way of
preventing access is to install the equipment in a lockable
area.
