In addition, the equipment checks the printer paper presence and, if MILLFLASH is connected, the presence of the Compact Flash card and its
memory capacity. The possible warning messages, and the consequent actions to carry out, are the same as described for a standard
sterilization cycle.
e The cycle phases are analogous to what is described in the Chapter “Sequence of the process”.
At the end of the program, remove the test device, open the capsule and remove the indicator from its housing.
If the steam has correctly penetrated, the ink will have completely changed color from what it was before, along the entire length of the strip; if not
(insufficient penetration) there will be only a partial variation or none at all.
e Normally the color change is from a light color (beige, yellow, etc.) to a dark color (blue, violet or black). In any case, scrupulously follow
the instructions provided by the indicator's manufacturer for its methods of use and indication and any other technical details.
The duration of the test is about 20 minutes.
As the door is opened at the end of the cycle, a report will be printed of the salient data for the test cycle performed. (printer installed – option)
Attach the chemical indicator in the space provided, initial the document and file it in a suitable place.
For complete details about printing summaries, please refer to the report examples shown in Print report examples.
