Tuttnauer T-Edge 11 PM Checklist
Continuing our series of checklists, today we’re moving on to the Tuttnauer T-Edge 11 Autoclave. Tuttnauer has contantly been innovating with
their autoclaves, and the T-Edge 11 is the modern take that shows that better than ever. It’s fast, powerful, and easy to use… A perfect addition to any practice. But while it’s good to talk about what it can do, it’s also important to go over how to maintain it. Because preventative maintenance is important. And we notice that it’s something that goes under the radar in some practices’ day-to-day. So in this article, we’re going to go over its preventative maintenance checklist. What you need and when you need it to keep it functioning at 100%. And doing everything we can to extend the life of your autoclave for as long as possible.
This checklist comes as a part of our Free Preventative Maintenance program. And if you have any questions our certified technicians are here to help. And you can give us a call at 704-966-1650, and hit option 3 for our Free Tech Support line.
The Preventative Maintenance
Daily Maintenance
The daily maintenance on your Tuttnauer T-Edge 10 consists of cleaning the unit daily and replacing the water with fresh water. The daily maintenance checklist requires you to:
- Replace distilled water in reservoir as needed
- Clean door gasket with a micro fiber cloth/dishwashing soap and inspect for crease or tears
- Wipe exterior of unit and surrounding area with Optim disinfecting wipes.
Optim1 6″ x 7″ wipes can be found here.
Weekly & Bi-Weekly Maintenance
The weekly maintenance revolves around cleaning the chamber and its contents, rinsing the chamber filter, and draining the reservoir. The weekly maintenance says you should:
- If autoclave is only used occasionally, drain water from mineral free water reservoir once a week and refill with fresh mineral-free water or distilled water.
- Weekly or if text alarm of “full waste water reservoir” appears (whichever comes first) drain water from the waste water reservoir.
- Clean the outer parts of the autoclave with a so cloth.
- Once Every 2 Weeks Perform “System Clean Process.”
T-System Clean Tablets are available here.
