What to do if I can't open the door of my SciCan BRAVO 21V Laboratory Equipment after the cycle?
If you can't open the door of your SciCan laboratory equipment after the cycle completes, it could be due to residual pressure in the sterilization chamber. Wait until the pressure returns to 0.00 bar before trying again. Also, check if the bacteriological filter is clogged and replace it if necessary.
What does it mean when the alarm icon is lit on SciCan BRAVO 21V?
If the alarm icon is lit on your SciCan laboratory equipment, it means an alarm has been triggered, generating a code and message on the LCD. Check the alarm code and take the appropriate action.
Why is there water around the drain tank of my SciCan BRAVO 21V Laboratory Equipment?
If you find water around the drain tank of your SciCan laboratory equipment, it's likely that the drain tubes (if using an optional drain tank) are not correctly connected to the tank. Make sure the tubes are fully pushed onto the connectors.
How to troubleshoot SciCan Laboratory Equipment sterilizer that does not power on?
If your SciCan laboratory sterilizer isn't powering on, here's what to check: * Make sure the power cord is properly plugged into the socket. * Verify that the socket has voltage and fix any issues if there is no voltage. * Ensure the main switch and/or differential switch are turned ON. * Inspect the mains fuses and replace them with fuses of equal nominal value if they are blown.
What to do if the MIN water level icon is lit on SciCan Laboratory Equipment?
If the MIN water level icon is lit on your SciCan laboratory equipment, it means the distilled water level inside the tank is below the minimum. Add distilled water to the tank until the MAX level indicator comes on, or until the MIN level signal turns off.
Why is there water on the support surface of my SciCan BRAVO 21V sterilizer?
If you find water on the support surface of your SciCan sterilizer, the cause may be: * Drain connectors or tubing (if using an optional external tank) are not correctly connected. Check the tightness of the fittings and reassemble if necessary, paying attention to sealing. Ensure the tubes to the drain tank are completely pushed onto the connectors and that the plastic ties have been applied. * The water supply tube from the external tank (if used) is not well connected. Check the tightness of the connector and reassemble if needed, ensuring a good seal. Verify the tube is fully pushed onto the connector and the plastic tie is applied. * Steam is leaking from the gasket. Clean the gasket and porthole after the cycle. Check for damage and replace the gasket if it continues to leak.
Why won't the sterilization cycle start after pressing START on my SciCan BRAVO 21V?
If the sterilization cycle doesn't start after pressing START on your SciCan laboratory equipment, it might be because the device is preheating. Wait for the sterilizer to reach the proper operating conditions for starting the program. Under normal conditions, the average preheating time is about 10-15 minutes.
Why is there excessive humidity on the material after using SciCan Laboratory Equipment?
If there's excessive humidity on the material after running a program on your SciCan laboratory equipment, consider these potential causes: * Too much material inside the sterilization chamber. Reduce the quantity to the maximum allowed for the load type. * Material not correctly positioned. Ensure proper positioning, especially for wrapped items, according to the instructions. * Wrong sterilization program selected. Choose the appropriate program for the material you're sterilizing. * Drain filter of the sterilization chamber obstructed. Clean or replace the drain filter and check for kinks in the exhaust tube, if one is being used.
How to fix vacuum issues in SciCan BRAVO 21V Laboratory Equipment?
If your SciCan sterilizer struggles to create a vacuum, leading to drying problems or water in the chamber after a cycle, check the following: * The drain filter of the sterilization chamber might be obstructed. Clean or replace it. * The drain circuit or tubes could be blocked. Ensure they are clear and run freely to the tank. * Air intake or heat exchanger obstructions. Clear any obstructions from the air intake and heat exchanger, ensuring the device isn't directly against walls or surfaces.
Why are there traces of oxidation or spots on instruments after using SciCan BRAVO 21V Laboratory Equipment?
If you notice oxidation or spots on instruments after using your SciCan laboratory equipment, it could be due to: * Inadequate instrument quality. Verify the instruments are made of materials suitable for steam sterilization. * Poor distilled water quality. Replace with high-quality distilled water. * Organic or inorganic residues. Thoroughly clean instruments before sterilization. * Contact between dissimilar metals. Separate instruments made of different metals before sterilization. * Lime residue. Clean the device and its parts as needed.
