5.8 Program 8: 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.
•
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.
