3.16 Exhaust filter (optional)
This system is required when sterilising infectious material.
Make sure the exhaust filter cartridges used are sterile!
We recommend replacing the exhaust filter cartridges after
approx. 150 cycles.
After they are replaced, used exhaust filter cartridges must be
sterilised separately.
3.16.1 Position and function
Air leaving the autoclave during the heating and sterilisation phases is
passed through an exhaust filter cartridge and thus filtered. The exhaust
filter cartridge is also sterilised during the sterilisation phase.
The exhaust filter cartridge is located in a filter housing at the front left of
the device and is sealed by a white plastic cover (not on D-23).
D-23: The exhaust filter cartridge is screwed into the rear of the
sterilisation chamber.
In this ventilation system, the flow sensor (TS2) is found in the filter
housing, not on the floor vent.
3.16.2 Maintenance tasks
Checking the counter value
• Go to Service -> Systeminfo -> Filter.
If it is necessary to reset the counter value to zero, then consult the Systec
service software (chapter 6.2.9, “System”).
