Tuttnauer 3840 ELVG-D - Program 2: Plastic Sterilization

Page 30

Sterilization: Sterilization temperature is maintained constant
during the sterilization time.

Cooling: N/A.

Fast Exhaust: the steam is exhausted out of the chamber at a
fast rate until pressure decreases to ambient pressure.
 (PV, pre-vacuum model only)
Drying: vacuum is built up and
the air pump is working.

Ending: The system checks that End temperature and End
pressure have been reached, and then releases the door.
5.2 Program 2: Plastic
For plastic and other delicate instruments, when the manufacturer
recommends autoclaving at temperatures of 121C (250F). Drying
stage is available for PV (pre-vacuum) models only.
Nominal parameters default settings

Sterilization temperature: 121C (250F)

Sterilization time: 15 minutes

Drying time: 1 minute (PV – pre-vacuum models only).
Operations sequence:

(PV, pre-vacuum models only)
Pulse low/Pulse high: at one
pulse it will build vacuum down to 25 kPa.

Heating: Steam enters the chamber and heats it up until the
sterilization temperature is reached.

Sterilization: Sterilization temperature is maintained constant
during the sterilization time.

Cooling: N/A

Fast Exhaust: the steam is exhausted out of the chamber at a
fast rate until pressure decreases to ambient pressure.
