    What to do if Tuttnauer 3870 HSG-D displays "Low Pressure"?
    • P
      pachecojenniferAug 28, 2025
      If the Tuttnauer Laboratory Equipment displays the message "Low Pressure", it indicates that the pressure dropped below the sterilization pressure (134°C = 304 kPa, 121°C = 205 kPa) for 2 seconds during the sterilization stage. You should perform a new cycle.

    What to do if Tuttnauer 3870 HSG-D Laboratory Equipment displays "High Pressure"?
    • J
      Jared SchultzAug 30, 2025
      If the Tuttnauer Laboratory Equipment displays the message "High Pressure", it means the chamber pressure raised 4.2 psi-29 kPa above the sterilization pressure (134°C = 304 kPa, 121°C = 205 kPa) for 2 seconds during the sterilization stage. To solve this, perform a new cycle.

    What to do if Tuttnauer 3870 HSG-D Laboratory Equipment displays "Air Error" at the end of the cycle?
    • S
      Shawn McneilAug 31, 2025
      If the Tuttnauer Laboratory Equipment displays the message "Air Error" at the end of the cycle, it means that the autoclave did not reach atmospheric pressure after 10 minutes. Wait until the autoclave reaches atmospheric pressure, and then perform a new cycle.
