DESCRIPTION OF STERILIZER
The M9 UltraClave
TM
Sterilizers have been
designed for use in medical and dental
offices, hospitals, clinics, nursing homes,
laboratories, and other facilities where a
variety of materials require processing.
The UltraClave
TM
Sterilizers can be used to
sterilize numerous items as follows:
Wrapped or unwrapped instruments,
pouches of instruments, linen packs, liquids,
ampoules, brushes, dressings, glassware,
needles, rubber gloves, rubber catheters,
rubber sheeting, treatment trays, solutions,
sutures, syringes, tubing, utensils.
Check with your supply manufacturer for
specific sterilization instructions. All supplies
requiring a common exposure period may
be safely and economically sterilized in the
same load with the exception of rubber
gloves, liquids, and solutions.
An optional printer may be used on all
UltraClave
TM
models to provide a permanent
record of actual exposure temperatures and
exposure times.
DANGER
Do not use this sterilizer for
sterilizing volatile substances
and materials that would cause toxic or
explosive conditions which would result
in serious injury or death.
Operational Features
• The sterilizer will begin a sterilization
program cycle when a sterilization
program is selected, the door is closed
and fully latched, and the “Start” switch
is pressed.
• The sterilizer will automatically fill the
chamber with water to the correct level
once the “Start” switch is pressed.
• The cycle time countdown will begin only
after the proper pressure and tempera-
ture have been reached.
• When the sterilization phase is complete,
steam pressure is automatically ex-
hausted from the chamber and an
automatic closed door drying phase is
initiated.
• An automatic drying phase will run for
45 minutes, but goods that do not require
drying may be removed at any time after
the sterilization phase has been com-
pleted.
• When the drying phase is complete,
five audible “beeps” signal the operator
that the sterilization program cycle is
now complete. The sterilizer may be
turned to standby at this time, or
restarted if additional sterilization pro-
grams are desired.
