When returning the autoclave or its
parts, or requesting repairs, disinfect
the autoclave or parts whenever
condition 1 or 2, given below, applies.
When the autoclave or any part of the

When blood or other chemicals have
pooled in the autoclave or any part of the
autoclave, of a type judged to be dangerous
to personnel.

Be careful of high-temperature liquid
because it may boil suddenly.
The temperature of liquid falls more slowly
than that of the chamber and liquid may
boil as a result of a trigger such as physical
shock. When liquid is not dealt with
carefully, there is likelihood of scalds or
unexpected accident.
Do not operate the autoclave with
flammable or explosive articles in
place.
Contravention is dangerous with likelihood
of fire or explosion.
Do not leave contamination in the
inside of the chamber or sterilizing
water.
Contravention is dangerous with likelihood
of corrosion or damage of the chamber.
In addition, the water level sensor may
malfunction and cause deterioration of the
empty heating prevention function, which
may result in fire in case of empty heating.
Before carrying out preventive
maintenance work, remove the power
plug of the autoclave from the outlet.
Contravention is dangerous with likelihood
of electric shock. For models with which
a power plug is not provided, turn OFF
the breaker to which the power cable is
connected.
Stop operation when corrosion,
damage, or deformation is found in
the chamber, chamber lid, hinges,
hinge shafts, cover rings, lid hooks,
or lid hook catches.
Contravention is dangerous with likelihood
of death or serious accident due to blowout
during rise of the pressure. When an
abnormality is found, contact the dealer or
business institution of our company.
Stop operation when damage such as
cracks or deformation is found in the
chamber lid gasket.
Contravention is dangerous with likelihood
of scalds due to steam leakage. When an
abnormality is found, contact the dealer or
business institution of our company.
Unplug and check the power plug
regularly.
Failure to do so may cause a fire or
burnout.
After replacing the chamber lid
gasket, be sure to make a test run.
Make sure the chamber lid gasket is
properly replaced. Failure to do so may
cause burns as the unexpected hot steam is
escaping through the lid.
Pay extreme caution when removing
sterilized articles as they are very hot.
Immediately after autoclaving, sterilized
articles can become very hot and must be
handled with extra care, otherwise cause a
serious burn injury or accident.
