5.1 Program 1: Glass
For glass instruments when the manufacturer recommends autoclaving
at temperatures of 134C (273F). Drying stage is available for PV
(pre-vacuum) models only.
Nominal parameters default settings
•
Sterilization temperature: 134C (273F).
•
Sterilization time: 3 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.
•
Water Inlet: Water enters the chamber.
•
Heating: The chamber and is heated by actuation of electrical
heaters 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.
• (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.
