PREFACE

WARNING – READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE ANY ATTEMPT IS

MADE AT OPERATING THE STERILIZER OR FIRST PLACING THE STERILIZER

INTO USE.

WARNING – All Operators of the sterilizer should be given appropriate training in use of the

sterilizer. If coded access to the sterilizer is used, each operator should be given

a code to access only those functions and operations he is authorised to use.

It is important to know what articles can be satisfactorily sterilized in the cycles fitted to the sterilizer.

( a) Fabric Load Cycles

Use high-temperature steam to process porous items such as linen, towels and cotton coats. Disinfection

is by means of direct contact with steam at a preferred temperature of 134°C, for a minimum of 3 minutes.

As air is trapped in porous loads, an efficient and reliable air removal system is essential prior to the

disinfection stage.

This type of process should not be used for heat-sensitive materials.

( b) Plastic Discard Cycles

Use high-temperature steam and designed to make safe plastic discard material where no one item

contains more than 50 ml of aqueous fluid i.e. culture media contained within plastic petri dishes. The

material to be sterilized would normally be contained within a stainless steel discard box. Sterilization is by

means of heating with steam at a preferred temperature of 134°C, for a minimum of 3 minutes.

As air is normally trapped within and around the load items, an efficient and reliable air removal system is

essential prior to the sterilization stage.

A cooling stage is fitted and the control system set so that the load cannot be released from the chamber

until it has fallen to below 90°C.

( c) Fluid Discard Cycles

Use high-temperature steam and designed to make safe fluid discard material in glass containers and

large plastic containers exceeding 50 ml. Sterilization is by means of heating with steam at a preferred

temperature of 121°C or 126°C, for a minimum time of 15 or 10 minutes respectively.

A cooling stage is fitted and the control system set so that the load cannot be released from the chamber

until it has fallen to below 80°C.

( d) Fluid Cycles

Use high-temperature steam and designed to sterilize fluid in glass and large plastic containers exceeding

50 ml. Sterilization is by means of heating with steam at a preferred temperature of 121°C, for a minimum

time of 15 minutes.

A cooling stage is fitted and the control system set so that the load cannot be released from the chamber

until it has fallen to below 80°C.

( e) Glassware and Equipment Cycles

Use high-temperature steam and designed to sterilize empty glassware without caps and other nonporous equipment. Sterilization is by means of direct contact with steam at a preferred temperature of

134°C, for a minimum time of 3 minutes.

Where cap are fitted, preventing the removal of air, the glassware should be considered as disinfected but

not sterilized.

( f) Free Steaming Cycles

Use low-temperature steam and designed to heat culture media solutions contained within vented glass

or plastic containers. Heating is by means of steam at a preferred temperature of 100°C.

It is important that the following instructions are carried out in order that the sterilizer

is operated safely, and that maintenance and validation tasks are undertaken at

regular intervals to ensure that the sterilizer continues to function safely and product

is processed satisfactorily.

OPERATING THE STERILIZER

WARNING – All Operators should be given appropriate training in use of the sterilizer. If coded access

to the sterilizer is used, each operator should be given a code to access only those functions and

operations they are authorized to use.

CAUTION - Do not touch any part of the sterilizer chamber or door. These parts are likely to be hot and could

cause burns if touched without wearing heat protective clothing and gloves.

CAUTION - Always wear heat protective gloves when handling, removing, or partially removing load carriers or

shelves from the sterilizer chamber. Load carriers, shelves and load items are likely to be hot and could cause

burns if touched without wearing heat protective gloves.

WARNING – When transferring a load carrier from the sterilizer chamber onto a trolley, or from the

trolley into the chamber, always ensure that the trolley locking device is engaged to the sterilizer

chamber locking plate.

CAUTION – Before closing the sterilizer door ensure that no load carrier, shelf or load item protrudes from the

chamber. Failure to do so may result in damage to the protruding article.

CAUTION – When opening or closing the sterilizer door, ensure that the loading trolley or shelf is clear of the

moving door. Failure to do so may result in damage to the sterilizer panelwork.

WARNING – Do not allow articles to be sterilised to overhang the sides of a load carrier or shelving

system. Articles or their packaging may be damaged when they are being transferred into or out of the

sterilizer, and this may affect their sterile condition after removal from the sterilizer.

WARNING – Do not enter or partially enter the sterilizer chamber without first obtaining the key for the

control panel auto/manual door switch and then turning the switch to the manual position. With the

switch in the manual position, remove the key and keep on your person until it is safe to return the

intended solely for the processing of unwrapped instruments and utensils. For these materials, only

use sterilizing cycles that have been validated for the task.

WARNING – Fluids, in either sealed or unsealed containers, must not be processed in sterilizers and

sterilizing cycles designed solely for processing medical devices. Hot fluids can cause an explosion

hazard.

WARNING – When processing fluids in containers, ensure that the load probe, when fitted, is placed

into the fluid. The control system uses this sensor to check that the fluid has reached a safe release

temperature at the end of the cycle. Hot fluids can cause an explosion hazard.

WARNING – When processing fluids in containers always check that the contained fluid has cooled to a

safe temperature before the door is allowed to open. Hot fluids can cause an explosion hazard.

WARNING – Always check the printed sterilizer cycle log at cycle end to confirm whether the cycle was

a pass cycle and that the cycle was appropriate for the sterilization of the processed goods.

WARNING - Never release goods for use from a failed cycle – all goods should be reprocessed to

achieve sterilization.

WARNING – If a fault condition message appears on the operator message screen, report fault

condition to person/s responsible for the sterilizer so that appropriate action can be taken in

determining the reason/s for the fault.

WARNING – This sterilizer has been tested and conforms to the requirements of EN 61000

standard on Electromagnetic Compatibility. If the sterilizer is sited in an area where the limits of

electromagnetic radiation, applied by this standard, are likely to be exceeded, i.e. close to X-ray or

LOADING EQUIPMENT

The general arrangement of the sterilizer loading equipment is shown in the diagram below.

The equipment comprises a loading trolley upon which sits the loading carriage. The loading carriage is fitted

with wheels and is guided onto and off of the trolley by means of rails fitted to the trolley.

A similar set of rails is fitted to the floor of the chamber, and when the trolley and chamber rails are aligned, the

loading carriage can be transferred into or out of the chamber.

With the carriage pulled onto the trolley and the carriage wheel contacting the carriage stop, the locking lever in

the locked position will raise the carriage locking bar to secure the carriage to the trolley. In this position the

trolley and carriage can be wheeled safely around the work area.

WARNING –

ALWAYS ENSURE THAT THE CARRIAGE LOCKING BAR IS IN THE RAISED POSITION,

SECURING THE CARRIAGE TO THE TROLLEY BEFORE MOVING THE TROLLEY AND

CARRIAGE AROUND THE WORK AREA.

With the sterilizer door in the open position, the loaded carriage and trolley is pushed up to the chamber. The

trolley should be steered to align with the chamber. As the trolley approaches the chamber, the guide bar fitted

to the front of the trolley rails will begin to engage the chamber rails to align the two sets of rails. When the two

sets of rails are abutted, the trolley locking lever is turned to the unlock position. This will cause the carriage

locking bar to be lowered whilst at the same time, the trolley locking bar to engage the chamber locking plate

within the chamber. The engagement of the trolley locking bar to the chamber locking plate will prevent the

trolley moving whilst the carriage is either transferred into or out of the sterilizer. For additional security, the

trolley wheel locks should be operated, by pushing the wheel locking bars downward.

WARNING –

WHEN TRANSFERRING THE LOADING CARRIAGE INTO OR OUT OF THE CHAMBER,

ENSURE THAT THE TROLLEY LOCKING BAR IS SECURELY ENGAGED TO THE

CHAMBER LOCKING PLATE SO THAT THE TROLLEY IS HELD IN POSITION. ALSO

UNSURE THAT THE TROLLEY WHEEL LOCKS ARE OPERATED TO PREVENT

MOVEMENT OF THE TROLLEY DURING THE LOADING OR UNLOADING OPERATION.

As a cycle is in progress, data is stored in the microprocessor log storage ram. Data can be in two forms,

a cycle log or a data log.

The cycle log is a copy of the information that is

printed out on the sterilizer printer as the cycle is

running – the time intervals at which the data is

printed is determined by parameter settings in the

validation menu and cannot be altered by the

supervisor. The cycle log can be viewed at a later

date

on the VDU if the log is still held in the log storage

ram – see section on Cycle Log Store Menu.

The data log will store cycle information that can then

be down loaded to a host computer. The data log can

then be used in a spread sheet on the host system.

The amount of information that can saved is

determined by the Supervisor – see the next page.

The data log cannot be viewed on the sterilizer VDU

at any stage.

The cycle log can also be down loaded to a host

computer for archiving purposes.
