The steam sterilizer sterilizes on the basis of the
fractionated flow
method. This method ensures the complete and effective wetting or
penetration of the items to be sterilized with saturated steam.
The procedure can also be used to safely and quickly sterilize wrapped
instruments.
To generate the sterilization steam, the steam sterilizer uses an
integrated steam generator. The sterilizer chamber is protected from
overheating and you can sterilize instruments in a short time.
The cold chamber is preheated on activation of preheating or can be
maintained at a specific temperature between two sterilizations. This
shortens the program time periods and reduces the formation of
condensate to give improved drying results.
Clean feed water according
to DIN EN 13060, Appendix C
The steam sterilizer works with the feed water one-way system. This
means that fresh feed water is used for every sterilization run.
The quality of the feed water is constantly monitored via integrated
conductivity mea
surements. This prevents spots on instruments and
, provided the instruments have been carefully
prepared.
Optimal drying for wrapped
The sterilized items are dried with the
pulsating overpressure drying
method. This way you achieve optimal drying results for wrapped objects
as well.
The steam sterilizer works with an electronic parameter control.
This way the
steam sterilizer optimizes the total operating time of a
program depending on the load.
The steam sterilizer verifies pressure and temperature in the sterilization
chamber at all times and its door locking system does not permit opening
the door when there is overpressure in the chamber. A
evaluation system is integrated in the electronics of the

pressure during a program.
It monitors the parameters with respect to their limit values at activation
and control, and guarantees a safe and successful sterilization.

steam sterilizer outputs a warning or fault messages and, if
necessary, aborts the program. In the event of an automatic program
termination, observe the information on the display.
conductivity measurement, you can verify the water quality of
the feed water.
The steam sterilizer has an internal log memory which can save up to 40
program cycles. All data of the completed programs are automatically
stored here.
You can read out the internal log memory immediately after the end of the
program, or at a later time.
