PLEASE NOTE
Please comply with the recommendations issued by the Robert-Koch-Institute (RKI) and
DIN 58946-7.
Manual functional checks
You can follow the program run on the display via the values displayed there. You can also use the logs
recorded for every program to determine the success of a program. The test programs enable you to
perform an additional function check at any time.
Vacuum test
The steam sterilizer can be checked for leakages in the steam system using the Vacuum test. This
determines the leakage rate at the same time.
Perform a vacuum test in the following circumstances:
▪ Once a week in routine operation
▪ During commissioning
▪ Following longer operating pauses
▪ Following a malfunction (e.g. in the vacuum system)
Perform the Vacuum test with the steam sterilizer in a cold and dry state as follows:
1. Switch on the steam sterilizer at the power switch.
2. Working in thePrograms & Tests menu, select
vacuum test and press START.
Ê The evacuation pressure and the equilibration
time or measuring times are shown on the
display. The chamber will be ventilated after the
end of the measuring time. Then the message
will be shown on the display with an indication
of the leakage rate. Should the leakage rate be
too high e.g. over 1.3 mbar, a corresponding
message will be issued on the display.
