  If your SciCan Steriliser isn't powering on, first, ensure the power cable is securely plugged in. Next, verify that there is voltage at the power supply socket and address any issues causing the lack of voltage. Check that the main and differential switches are in the ON position. If these steps don't resolve the issue, it's possible the mains fuses are blown, and you should contact Technical Service.

Why is there water on the surface around my SciCan BRAVO G4 17?

  If you find water on the surface where your SciCan Steriliser rests, it could be due to a few reasons. First, check the water automatic filling system hose (if applicable) to ensure it's correctly and tightly connected, making sure the hoses are fully inserted and hose clamps are present. Another potential cause is a steam leak from the door gasket. To address this, clean the gasket and the closing porthole with a dampened cloth after each cycle and check for any damage to the gasket. Then, run another verification cycle.

What to do if SciCan BRAVO G4 17 Steriliser cycle does not start after pressing START?

  Teresa MarshallAug 13, 2025
  If, after pressing START on your SciCan Steriliser, the sterilisation cycle doesn't begin, it's likely that the device is preheating. Please wait for the steriliser to reach the necessary operating conditions before the program starts. Typically, the average preheating time is about 10-15 minutes under standard conditions.

Why is there excessive humidity on items after using my SciCan BRAVO G4 17?
- K
  Kelly MooreAug 18, 2025
  Excessive humidity on materials and instruments at the end of a SciCan Steriliser program can occur for several reasons. First, verify that the load inside the sterilisation chamber does not exceed the maximum allowable values. Ensure the load is correctly positioned, especially if it's wrapped. Select the appropriate sterilisation program for the material you're treating. Lastly, check if the chamber drainage filter is clogged, and if so, clean or replace it.

  Michelle MaldonadoAug 25, 2025
  Traces of oxidation or spots on instruments after sterilisation in your SciCan Steriliser may be due to inadequate instrument quality. Ensure that your instruments are made of materials suitable for steam sterilisation. Another potential cause is organic or inorganic residues on the instruments. Thoroughly clean all materials before placing them in the steriliser.
