Installation

General Conditions

  • Position the device on a solid surface with a minimum weight capacity of 60 kgs.
  • The sterilizer should be placed on a level worktable.
  • Leave at least 10 cm between the device rear part and the wall. The clearance required to open the door is 40 cm.
  • Position the sterilizer at such a height as to make it possible for the operator to check the whole sterilization chamber and carry out the normal cleaning operations.
  • The room where the device is installed must be sufficiently ventilated.
  • Do not install the device near washing basins, taps, etc. where it is likely to be splashed.
  • Do not lean on the door when it is opened.
  • Do not place trays, papers, fluid containers or other objects on the sterilizer.

Power Supply Connection

Check the label on the back panel of sterilizer to verify the voltage rating for the unit. Failure to connect the sterilizer to an appropriate power supply could result in damage to the unit and electrical shock to personnel.

Plug the power cord into a properly polarized and grounded receptacle rated for the correct voltage and current. A dedicated circuit that is only used for the sterilizer is recommended.

Never connect the device plug to adapters of any type.

Location Requirements and Dimensions (mm)

To ensure proper air circulation, and to allow access to the reservoir fill port and drain coupling, adhere to the minimum clearance requirements listed below.

Attention: The capacity of the used water tank is approximately 1.5 liters.

Preparation of Materials for Sterilization

For the most effective sterilization and to preserve instruments, please follow below:

  • Clean instruments immediately after use.
  • Clean the instruments with an ultrasonic cleaner.
  • Residual chemicals left over after the cleaning and disinfecting process may damage and corrode parts of the sterilizer. Always rinse off the instruments using distilled water.
  • Follow instrument manufacturer’s guidelines and recommendations for handling and cleaning instruments prior to sterilization.
  • Check the manufacturer’s instructions as to proper procedure for sterilizing each item.
  • Arrange the samples of different materials on different trays or with at least 3cm of space between them.
  • Clean and dry instruments thoroughly before placing them into a tray.
  • Always insert a sterilization paper or cloth between the tray and sample to avoid direct contact.
  • Arrange the containers (glasses, cups, test-tubes, etc.) on one side or inverted position, avoiding possible water pooling.
  • Don’t stack the trays one above the other or put them in direct contact with the walls of the sterilization chamber.
  • Always use the instrument tray handle.
  • Wrap the samples one by one or, if more tools have to be put in the same bag, verify that these are made of the same material and are not touching one another.
  • Don’t use metallic clips, pins or similar items, as this jeopardizes the maintenance of the sterilizer.
  • Don’t overload the trays over the stated limit (see appendix 2).
  • Load packaged instruments with the paper side up as the steam and moisture inside the pouches can evaporate easier and thus allow for better drying.
