Tuttnauer EA - General Information; Introduction

1.GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 INTRODUCTION
This table-top autoclave is designed for the sterilization of medical and surgical instruments
in dental, medical and veterinary clinics, first aid rooms, laboratories
etc.
The autoclave models EA and EKA are electrically - heated sterilizers of different
dimenstons, using steam as the sterilizing agent. The autoclave is controlled by a
computerized control unit ensuring a fully automatic sterilization cycle and precise control
and monitoring of physical parameters and a clear documentation of the sterilization cycle.
Three automatic programs are available, according to the material to be sterilized. The
difference between EKA is the air compressor which during the dry cycle, pushes filtered
air (0.2n) through the chamber to pull out the humidity, the dry operation being performed
with the closed door.
The control system provides adequate protection, to ensure the safety of personnel and
reliable operation with a minimum of down time.
This manual is intended to give the user a general understanding of how the autoclave works
and indicate the best ways to operate and take care of it in order to obtain optimum results
and a trouble free operation. However, since the autoclave is built using high technology
sensitive components, no attempt should be made by the user or any other unauthorized
person to repair or re-calibrate it.
Only technical personnel having the proper qualifications, and holding the technical
documentation and adequate test instrumentation, are authorized to service the instruments.
