Reference Meters
Calibration reference meters are important for accurately setting the STAT
IM
unit so that the
correct sterilization conditions (temperature and pressure) occur in accordance with the original
specifications of the unit and national/international standards.
When ordering any digital thermometer and temperature probe, ensure that the supplier is aware
that the area where the most accuracy is required is between 130°C and 140°C.
Temperature meters and probes should always be calibrated as a matched pair.
Test equipment should be calibrated on a regular basis based on the manufacturer’s
recommended calibration interval.
Calibration of reference equipment used with autoclaves should ALWAYS be to national or
international standards by a certified calibration laboratory.
A number of meters are recommended by SciCan and are referenced as follows:
For non-S unit calibration
The following reference meters are recommended for use with 01-103087S and 01-103088S test
cassettes:
t Omega HH81A single channel multifunction digital thermometer (www.omega.com)
t Omega TJ36-CASS-116G-6-SMP-M Temperature Probe (with SMP-M miniature male
connector).
Note: the above probe is 1.6mm (1/16”) diameter.
For S unit calibration
The following options are recommended for use with 01-106366S and 01-106367S test cassettes:
t A set of two independent meters, one pressure and one temperature.
t An integrated hand-held pressure and temperature calibrator.
Note: The thermocouple entry fitting on the S class cassette will need to be changed from the
3.2mm (1/8”) diameter fitting to the 1.6mm (1/16”) diameter fitting if using the Omega meter.
The two independent meters have been included where the user may already have an Omega
meter for non-S use who is upgrading to S class use, when only a pressure meter will be required.
They are also the lower cost options over the integrated device.
