Cycle and Leak Test
NOTE:
Control of printouts is accessed through SUPERVISOR screen.
The printout reports useful information about each cycle the Sterilization Unit processes.
NOTE:
The displayed cycle times in the included cycle tapes are typical only. Cycle time is dependent on multiple factors (load
size, configuration, etc.) which may impact overall cycle time.
A Normal Printout lists the Start and Chamber Opened Times, the Sterilization Cycle phase times, and provides for the
operator, load and printout verified identification.
An Extended Printout (see Figure 9-1 and Figure 9-2, and ) lists the same information as the Normal Printout but also
includes more cycle information. During the cycle, status lines on the printouts show the time the line was printed,
chamber temperature and the level of vacuum or pressure in the chamber.
Each status line also begins with a letter code. This code indicates during which cycle phase the print line occurred, or
what kind of event caused the print line to occur. The Status Print Codes are as follows:
• L = Leak Test
• C = Condition Phase
• S = Sterilize Phase
• A = Aeration Phase
• Z = Cycle Complete
• READY TO UNLOAD = Sterilization Cycle Complete
The Leak Test Printout (see Figure 9-3) presents the same information as the Extended Printout but covers the Low
Temperature Sterilization Unit chamber leak test. The Leak Rate is printed as LEAK RATE IS: x.xxx TORR/MIN.
NOTE:
The printed VHP EXPIRATION date is based on the RFID Tag data. The date is formatted as MMDDYY.
