6.3 Autoclave
For autoclaving of the pump chamber we recommend the following steps.
1. CIP of the pump chamber with any suitable process
2. Empty the pump
3. Remove the pump chamber from the pump drive
4. Close in and outlet of the pump e.g. by connecting hoses. Ensure that a free interchange of
gas and steam over a sterile barrier (e.g. sterile filter) at in- and outlet is available.
5. Autoclaving of the prepared pump chamber in a vacuum autoclave:
max. 130°C (266°F)
max. 30 min.
Follow instructions of the autoclave manufacturer
Please make sure that the pump chamber is not placed on the clamp ring during the
autoclave process. The clamp ring should not be loaded during autoclaving.
