7 Sterilization
29
The sterilization phase is unsuccessful if the operator or the system (responding to a fault) aborts the
program run. A system abort returns the steam sterilizer to a pressureless state. This explains why a
system abort takes longer as an abort by the operator.
Drying phase
The steam sterilizer provides excellent drying of the sterilization material. If difficult-to-dry items require
better drying, you can undertake the following steps to improve drying:
u Load the steam sterilizer properly. Stand the transparent and paper sterilization packaging upright.
Comply with the specifications of section Loading the steam sterilizer [}page 23]. Use the optional
package holder if necessary.
u Activate theAdditional drying function.
Following the program run on the computer
You can follow the current progress of a sterilization program on every computer in the practice network.
ü
The steam sterilizer has been assigned an IP address and is integrated in the practice network.
1. Open a web browser (we recommend Mozilla Firefox
or Internet Explorer) and enter the IP address of the
steam sterilizer in the address bar of the web browser.
2. Confirm with [ENTER]. Now you can display the
program run or information about your steam sterilizer
(e.g. serial number, software version and selected
values).
Manual program abort
You can abort a current program in all phases. If you end the program before drying begins, the
sterilization material remains unsterile.
WARNING
Hot steam can be released from the device when opening the door after a program abort.
This could result in burns.
n Use a tray lifter to remove the tray.
n Never touch the sterilized equipment, the chamber or the door with bare hands. The
components are hot.
