Safety Features
The M9 / M11 UltraClave™ or M9D / M11D Autoclave sterilizers have the follow-
ing Safety Features . . .
• dry cycle door stop prevents door from opening fully if there is a slight resid-
ual pressure in chamber when door handle is operated.
Door stop also retains door in a partially open position during drying cycle.
• door latched switch prevents operation until door is completely closed and
latched. An audible “beep” sounds and message “
DOOR OPEN, CLOSE DOOR” is
displayed if door is not fully latched.
• monitors chamber temperature during a cycle to prevent an overheat con-
dition. If chamber temperature exceeds its preset limit, power to the heaters
is cut off and the cycle is aborted.
• pressure relief valve opens to reduce chamber pressure should chamber
steam pressure exceed allowable limit. Released steam is directed out of
bottom of unit’s cabinet.
• fault detection circuit monitors all functions of sterilizer during a cycle. If a
fault occurs during a cycle, the sterilizer monitoring circuitry stops the cycle,
sounds an audible signal, and displays an appropriate error message.
• displays message “
ITEMS NOT STERILE” if a sterilization cycle is interrupted by
power loss, by the operator, or by a unit malfunction.
