cabinet. If the voltage supplied is substantially less than the indicated voltage,
additional time must be added to each cycle.
7.9. Set the Timer to the desired sterilization cycle time according to the
Sterilization Time Table.
7.9.1. The Heat Light will come on, indicating that power is being
supplied to the Heating Elements and remain on until the
correct sterilization pressure is achieved.
7.9.2. Once the correct pressure is reached the Heat Light will cycle
on and off, indicating that the Heating Elements are turning
on and off to maintain the correct sterilization pressure.
7.9.3. When the Timer reaches 0 min, the Heating Elements are
turned off and a buzzer will sound indicating that the
sterilization cycle is complete.
7.10. If unwrapped instruments were sterilized and no drying is required,
follow these steps.
7.10.1. Once the Timer has reached 0 min, turn the Multi-purpose
valve knob promptly to the Exhaust / Dry position. This will
allow the steam and leftover water to return to the reservoir.
7.10.2. When the white needle on the pressure gauge has reached
0 psi, the door can be opened.
7.10.3. Unscrew the Door Closing Device, move it to the side and
open the door to remove the instruments.
7.10.4. Now turn the Multi-purpose valve knob to the “0” or off
position.
Note: The sterility of instruments processed in unwrapped cycles
cannot be maintained if exposed to a non-sterile environment.
7.11. If wrapped instruments were sterilized and drying is required, follow
these steps.
7.11.1. Once the Timer has reached 0 min, turn the Multi-purpose
valve knob promptly to the Exhaust / Dry position. This will
allow the steam and leftover water to return to the reservoir.
Do not allow the pressure to drop below 10 psi before
beginning this procedure. This will cause water to remain in
the bottom of the chamber even after the Multi-purpose
valve has been turned to Exh / Dry. Resetting the Timer for
drying will only be heating up this water and not drying the
instruments.
If the pressure has dropped below 10 psi, leave the unit in
the STERILIZE position, leave the door closed and locked.
Now reset the Timer for 10 minutes.
When the Timer reaches 0 min, the pressure should be above
10 psi (if not, add 5 more minutes to the Timer). Now turn
the Muli-purpose valve to the Exh / Dry position. This will
insure that all the water has been returned to the reservoir.
Note: The sooner the Multi-purpose valve is turned to
Exh / Dry at the end of the sterilization cycle, the
more effective and efficient will be the drying.
7.11.2. When the white needle on the pressure gauge has reached
0 psi the door can be opened.
