A computerized control unit ensuring a fully automatic sterilization
cycle controls the autoclave.
The temperature and pressure are controlled through sensors
placed inside and outside the media container or bottles.
The sterilizer is fully automatic with a choice of 10 programs,
eliminating any need for operator intervention during a cycle
(programs 9-10 are for vacuum 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 will discharge
at an overpressure of over 2.8 Bar (40 psi), which is located on the
chamber near the pressure switch and the steam pressure gauge.
The control system provides adequate protection, to ensure the
safety of personnel and reliable operation with a minimum of down
time.
The sterilizer has multiple built - in safety devices, which provides
adequate protection to ensure the safety of operating personnel.
On all models, a printer is an optional addition to the autoclave.
The printer prints the preset and actual parameters of the cycle
(temperature, time and pressure).
The autoclave is provided with a pressure gauge that is used as
guide only. Should there be a power failure during the operation of
the autoclave, the pressure gauge indicates to the operator that
there is pressure in the chamber.
A deviation of +1.6% is accepted.
Note: After operating the sterilizer, brown stains might appear on the
bottom of the chamber. These stains are a result of the heating
elements that are located at the lower external part of the
chamber. The brown color is a common phenomenon, can easily
be removed, and will not have any effect on the sterilized goods.
This manual is intended to give the user a general understanding
of how the autoclave works and indicates the best ways to operate
and take care of it in order to obtain optimum results and a trouble-
free operation. After reading this manual, operating the autoclave
should be straightforward. 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
recalibrate it.
