(PV, pre-vacuum models 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.
5.10 Program 10: Bio Hazard 2 (BH, bio-hazard models
only)
All exhaust from the chamber before completion of the
Sterilization stage is performed through the bio-hazard filter.
For instruments, when the manufacturer recommends autoclaving
at temperatures of 121C (250F) for 45 minutes. Drying stage is
available for PV (pre-vacuum) models only.
Nominal parameters default settings
Sterilization temperature: 121C (250F)
Sterilization time: 45 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. All exhaust from the
chamber is performed through the bio-hazard filter.
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.
Note: If the cycle fails, fast exhaust is performed through the bio-hazard
filter. Some water may remain in the chamber after a failed cycle.
