NOTE: For an Aborted Cycle, note the following:
a. If the cycle is aborted before the Sterilization phase, the control system safely relieves chamber vacuum before
allowing opening of the chamber door. If the cycle is aborted during or after Sterilization phase, a complete
Aeration phase is performed.
b. Press lower right touch pad to silence alarm.
c. Pressing Cycle Status touch pad (lower left) displays Alarm Status Screen.
d. Pressing Back Arrow touch pad (lower left) returns CYCLE (or Ready) screen to control display.
3. When Abort phase is complete, ABORT Complete screen is displayed.
NOTE: STERIS recommends (in accordance with ANSI/AAMI ST58, 2013) wearing chemical-resistant gloves
when removing items from the Sterilization Unit after a cycle has been aborted.
4. Once chamber door is opened, display returns to CYCLE (or Ready) screen and Sterilization Unit may be unloaded.
IMPORTANT: The load must be repackaged and reprocessed after the cycle is aborted.
NOTE: ALL Cycles abort to AERATE phase on a Power Failure.
