What’s In The Box
This is a picture of what will be included in your specific kit. We’ll list these items from the top to the bottom as they’re pictured here!
Door Gasket
The first item is the Door Gasket surrounding the parts shown above. The door gasket helps seal the autoclave door and prevent steam leaks. It’s always listed as an annual maintenance part, however if you run consecutive or back-to-back cycles it will need to be changed more frequently.
We have this 3870M Door Gasket for purchase here.
Safety Valve
The top item under the green gasket is the safety valve. The Safety Release Valve is designed to relieve the autoclave of any excess pressure so as to not cause damage. It is located inside of the reservoir.
The 3870M Safety Valve is available here.
Air Jet Valve (Red Top)
Under the safety release valve is the Air Jet Valve with the red top. Failure to clean the air jet valve can result in failed spore tests of your autoclave. And it can be found within the reservoir of the unit.
The Air Jet Valve comes with the Kit available here.
Chamber Brite
The pack with the white tablet is a single pack of Chamber Brite. Chamber Brite should be used on a weekly basis to keep the chamber, valves and the reservoir clean.
Chamber Brite is available to buy here.
Papers
The included paper items include a preventative maintenance marking sticker and an associated instruction manual to help assist you in performing the maintenance properly.
