and load is tested for acceptable moisture content (up to three moisture evacuations). LOAD TEST REPEAT prints
on cycle tape.
NOTE: If Condition phase fails the third moisture check, the cycle aborts.
• STERILIZE — This cycle phase consists of a series of either four pulses (Lumen, Flexible, Non Lumen) or two
pulses (Fast Non Lumen). Each pulse consists of: vacuum pulled to setpoint; Sterilant vapor drawn into chamber;
hold for programmed time; filtered air is introduced to setpoint; hold for programmed time; deep vacuum pulled
to setpoint.
NOTE: Vacuum setpoint is factory set to either 0.4 Torr (Lumen, Flexible) or 1.0 Torr (Non Lumen, Fast Non
Lumen).
• AERATION — This cycle phase consists of:
– For Lumen, Non Lumen, Flexible, and Fast Non Lumen Cycles — Pulling a vacuum to setpoint and continuing to
evacuate for the programmed time. This phase is ordered by the control to reduce chamber vapor
concentration. Once Aeration phase is complete, chamber pressure is brought to atmospheric level and the
chamber door unlocks.
The Catalytic Converter
Outflow from the chamber passes, during all phases, through a catalytic converter which converts hydrogen peroxide
into water vapor and oxygen. The catalytic converter is used to reduce the peroxide concentration to a level below 1.0
ppm.
Cup Level Indicator
A Cup Level indicator (similar to a cell phone battery indicator) is shown on the following screens:
• SELECT CYCLE
• STATUS
• IN STANDBY
• VHP CUP
Sterilant Cup Level
Indicator
NOTE: Press Cup Level icon (see Sterilant Cup Information screen) and control displays number of
cycles remaining (assuming sterilant reservoir was empty when cup was installed) as well as the
days remaining before Cup expires.
The Cup Level indicator (see Figure above) is located on the lower right corner of the screen. The control monitors the
number of injections used and updates the indicator as needed. There are five capacity levels shown using bars inside a
simulated cup. The control makes accommodations for aborted cycles and if it is the first cup installed. For normal
operation, each bar represents four cycles. The approximate number of cycles remaining at each bar is as follows:
NOTE: There are two cups available, Standard Ground Shipped Cup (PB011) and the Air Shipped Cup
(PB012).
