Page 35

Sterilization: Sterilization temperature is maintained constant
during the sterilization time.

Cooling: Forced cooling to the required end temperature,
chamber pressure remains at approx. 300 kPa and the cooling
valve is opened.

Fast Exhaust: the steam is exhausted out of the chamber at a
fast rate until pressure decreases to ambient pressure.

Drying: N/A

Ending: The system checks that End temperature and End
pressure have been reached, and then releases the door.
5.7 Program 7: Waste (PV – pre-vacuum models only)
For waste products when the manufacturer recommends
autoclaving at temperatures of 134C (273F).
Nominal parameters default settings

Sterilization temperature: 134C (273F)

Sterilization time: 7 minutes

Drying time: 15 minutes.
Operations sequence:

Pulse low/Pulse high: four vacuum pulses remove air by
drawing the chamber down to 25kPa.

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.
