9.23 Validation
Caution!
Before starting the preparations for the validation, disconnect the
instrument from the power source and ensure that there is no pressure
in the autoclave.
The validation port is located on the autoclave's door, behind a plastic
plug inserted in the door cover.
1. Remove the plastic plug from the door cover.
2. Unscrew the validation plug from the door.
3. Attach the validation adapter to the validation port. The 1/4" BSP
thread of the validation port matches the thread of the adapter.
4. Perform the validation according to EN554 or the appropriate
Pharmacopea.
5. After completing the validation, reassemble the validation plug. Use
Teflon tape on the plug's thread to assure sealing. Tighten the plug
carefully to avoid damage to the door.
