Program 1, 2, 3 for Un-wrapped goods 134ºC (process Sample)
These programs are intended for un-wrapped rigid items, for example instruments and
other goods, which their manufacturer declares their compliance to be sterilized in the
following conditions:
Sterilization temperature 134ºC
Sterilization time 3 minutes
Dry time 1 minute
Performance Description:
Residual air is displaced by 4 vacuum pulses (down to 25 kPa) and 3 steam pulses up
to 160 kPa. The 4
th
vacuum pulse is followed by the introduction of saturated (controlled)
steam into the chamber to the required sterilization temperature.
Sterilization is controlled in a way that the sterilization temperature will not drop below
the required temperature nor increase by more than 3ºC. The steam conditions are
controlled in such a way that the fluctuation of pressure does not allow a drop below 1
kPa, nor an increase over 3 kPa, above the high limit of the Ste. Temperature.
Fast exhaust is performed by rapidly discharging the pressure from the chamber. The
vacuum pump is activated to create a vacuum in the chamber for drying.
Drying is achieved by evacuating the vapors from the chamber in an "under pressure"
phase for a period of 1 minute.
Pressure equilibrium enables the opening of the door. Air is introduced into the
chamber through a microbiological filter until equilibrium is reached with atmospheric
pressure.
Important:
In order to obtain good sterilization results, dry time is essential.
Note:
The pressure must be below 115 kPa to enable the door to be opened.
Caution!
Care should be taken to preserve the sterility of un-wrapped instruments
in a non-sterile environment.
