Getinge HS33 - Sterilization Processes; Standard Processes

Page 16 of 27
The sterilizer is equipped with a set of pre-programmed cycles. The process
times mentioned in all documentation are approximate with factory-set values
and depend on the load. The heavier the load, the longer the process. The
material in the load also affects the process time.
All weight indications of the load include the goods to be sterilized as well as
the weight of racks, trays, containers etc. The lighter the trays etc, the more
goods/weight can be sterilized.
Adjustable parameters
The sterilization and drying times are adjustable, from the minimum (as per
the type test) to higher values depending on cycle type, see following pages.
Adjustments are easily done by the operator from the display and require a
password (558).
