5.2 Program 2:
Plastic
For plastic and other delicate instruments when the manufacturer
recommends autoclaving at temperatures of 121C (250F). Drying
stage is available for PV (pre-vacuum) models only.
Nominal parameters default settings
•
Sterilization temperature: 121C (250F)
•
Sterilization time: 15 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 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 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.
