equipment, in accordance with the requirements of standard EN 13060.
It consists of an airtight stainless steel sterilization chamber accessed through a front door; it is protected by an
external shock-resistant moulded plastic body and equipped with protective devices that allow operators to use
it in full safety. The sterilization cycles are started from the operator touch-screen controlpanel on the front of the
device, beside the door.
A detailed description of the units that make up the sterilizer and the components supplied is given in the following
paragraphs.

The sterilizer is designed to operate in medical locations (e.g. Dental practices, dental and medical
clinics, hospitals) with following environmental conditions:
• temperatures between 5°C and 40°C;
• maximum relative humidity of 80% with environmental temperature until 32°C and linearly decrease until 50%
in case of environmental temperature until 40°C;
• air pressure between 750 mBar and 1050 mBar;
• altitude between 0 and +2000 meters above sea level.
Transport and storage conditions: temperature -10°C÷50°C, humidity without condensation 10÷95%, air pressure
50÷106 kPa.
