Operation and Maintenance Manual (pg 6-9)

Technical Data

2.1 Introduction

This tabletop autoclave is designed as a gravity displacement system for the sterilization of wrapped and unwrapped instruments and related items found in dental, medical and veterinary clinics, first aid rooms, hospitals, laboratories, etc.

This autoclave is an electrically heated sterilizer using steam as the sterilizing agent. A computerized control unit ensuring a fully automatic sterilization cycle, control and monitoring of physical parameters and a clear documentation of the sterilization cycle controls the autoclave.

The autoclave has three automatic programs, according to the material to be sterilized, and one auxiliary drying program. Models EA and EKA are equipped with an air compressor that, during the drying stage, draws air through a HEPA filter (0.2µm). It pushes that air through the heated chamber to remove moisture and facilitate the drying operation. Drying is performed with the door closed.

On all models (except 1730), a water pump is installed between the water reservoir and the chamber. This pump guarantees fast and accurate filling of the chamber every time. Entry of water may be accompanied by a noise for approximately 30 seconds. This is normal noise generated by regular operation of the pump.

The control system provides adequate protection to ensure the safety of personnel and reliable operation with a minimum of shutdown time.

On all models (except 1730), a printer is an optional addition to the autoclave. The printer prints the preset and actual parameters of the cycle (temperature, time and pressure).

This manual is intended for the user and gives the user a general understanding of the instrument and the best ways to operate and take care of it in order to obtain optimum effective results.

After reading this manual, operating the autoclave will be easy. However, since this instrument is built with high technology sensitive components, no attempt should be made by the user or any other unauthorized person to repair or recalibrate it.

Only technical personnel, having proper qualifications and holding technical documentation (including a technician manual) and adequate information are authorized to service the apparatus.

2.2 Standby Heating Mode

The autoclave provides an option of heating the chamber in standby mode between cycles with a very low power in order to reduce total cycle time (1.6% of the total power only). The autoclave turns off automatically if the interval between the sterilization cycles is more than 2 hours. This feature is standard on all EK, EKA models and optional on all E, EA models.

2.3 Environmental Emission Information

1. The peak sound level generated by the autoclave is less than 70 dBA with background noise of 60 dBA.
2. The total heat per hour transmitted by the autoclave is < 100 Wh for all models.

2.4 Operating Conditions

This device is to be used for indoor use. This autoclave is intended for NORMAL environment conditions as follows:

• • Altitude up to 2000m.
  • Room temperature range 41ºF to 104ºF (5ºC to 40ºC).
  • Installation Category II. ¨ Pollution Degree 2.
  • Maximum relative humidity 80% for temperature up to 31ºC decreasing linearly to 50% relative humidity at 40ºC.
  • Main supply voltage fluctuations up to +/-5% of the nominal voltage.

The sterilizer should be loaded only with autoclavable material.

Caution!

Waste water should be brought into the public net in accordance with the local rules or requirements, i.e. ONLY NON-HAZARDOUS LIQUIDS SHALL BE DISPOSED IN PUBLIC SEWAGE!
