3 TECHNICAL DATA
3.1 Introduction
Models 2540, 3150, 3170, 3850, 3870, 5050 and 5075, 5090 ELV are
vertical sterilizers designed especially for sterilization of instruments,
liquids and other materials in hospital laboratories, medical laboratories,
research institutes, food laboratories and pharmaceutical facilities.
A special feature of this sterilizer is the fast cooling operation, provided as
an option for the liquids sterilization cycle.
The sterilizer is fully automatic with a choice of six programs, eliminating
any need for operator intervention during a cycle. The sixth program is an
optional program including a cooling stage (program 7 is for leakage test
only). A computerized control unit enables precise control and monitoring
of physical parameters and clear documentation of the sterilization cycles.
The autoclave is equipped with a safety valve, which blows off at an
overpressure of over 25 psi, which is located on the rear of the autoclave.
The control system provides adequate protection, to ensure the safety of
personnel and reliable operation with a minimum of down time.
On all models (except 1730), a printer is an optional addition to the
autoclave. The printer prints the preset and actual parameters of the cycle
(temperature, time and pressure/vacuum).
The autoclave is equipped with a pressure gauge designed for reference
only. In case that there is any problem with electricity supply during a
sterilization cycle the pressure gauge will be used to verify that there is
pressure in the chamber.
This manual provides information for the following models:
ELV – this is the basic model of the vertical laboratory autoclave.
ELVC – this model includes a cooling system that enables cycles with
fast cooling.
ELVPRC – this model includes only the cooling coil as a preparation
for a cooling system but performs as ELV. A Tuttnauer technician can
upgrade this model to ELVC.
This manual is intended to give the user a general understanding of how
the autoclave works and indicates best ways to operate and maintain it in
order to obtain optimum results and a trouble free operation.
After reading this manual, operating the autoclave should be straight
forward. However, since the autoclave is built using high technology
sensitive components, no attempt should be made by the user or any other
unauthorized person to repair or re-calibrate it.
Only technical personnel having proper qualifications, holding technical
documentation and adequate test instrumentation, are authorized to
undertake repair or service.
