The cassette temperature failed to reach the
sterilization temperature within 15 seconds of
the theoretical cassette temperature calculated
from the measured cassette pressure reaching
the sterilization temperature.
• Poor air removal during conditioning
(exhaust blockage).
• Calibration imbalance (pressure
transducer or chamber thermocouple)
• Blockage or restriction in pressure
Not used
50
For the Rubber and Plastics cycle, the chamber
temperature dropped below the sterilization
temperature, allowing for measurement error
(i.e. Tchm < 121°C).
• Poor air removal during conditioning
(exhaust blockage).
• Not able to generate steam
•
51
For the Rubber and Plastics cycle, the chamber
temperature rose more than 4 C° above the
sterilization temperature, allowing for
measurement error (i.e. Tchm > 125°C).
• Sticking solenoid valve (closed)
• Failed solenoid coil
• Blocked cassette exhaust duct
•
Obstructed exhaust tubing (kink)
52
For the Rubber and Plastics cycle, the
theoretical chamber temperature as calculated
from the measured chamber pressure was more
than 2°C below 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
