For a 134°C cycle, the theoretical chamber
temperature as calculated from the measured
chamber pressure was more than 2°C above the
measured chamber temperature, allowing for
measurement error.
% Calibration imbalance (pressure
transducer or chamber thermocouple)
% Sticking solenoid valve (closed)
% Failed solenoid coil
% Blocked cassette exhaust duct
% Obstructed exhaust tubing (kink)
% Poor air removal
64
For a 134°C the theoretical cassette
temperature calculated from the measured
cassette pressure was below the sterilization
temperature, allowing for measurement error
(i.e. Pchm < 304 kPa).
% Calibration imbalance (pressure
transducer or chamber thermocouple)
% Poor air removal during conditioning
(exhaust blockage).
% Not able to generate steam
%
Steam leak in the system
65
For a 134°C cycle, the theoretical cassette
temperature calculated from the measured
cassette pressure was more than 4°C above the
sterilization temperature, allowing for
measurement error (i.e. Pchm > 341.2 kPa).
% Calibration imbalance (pressure
transducer or chamber thermocouple)
% Sticking solenoid valve (closed)
% Failed solenoid coil
% Blocked cassette exhaust duct
% Obstructed exhaust tubing (kink)
%
Poor air removal
