STERILIZATION CYCLES

11.1 Descriptions cycles
The autoclave has three series of cycles:
A – OPERATION CYCLES
All operating cycles, have the fractional vacuum system and can sterilize hollow, porous
and solid materials, however, are differentiated according to user priority and to
characteristics of the materials for the sterilization. The sterilization temperatures possible
are 121°C and 134°C.
- Cycle 121°C Standard: it is used for thermolabile materials, load capacity up to 7 kg
with a normal cycle time.
- Cycle 134°C Standard: it is used for not thermolabile materials, load capacity up to 7 kg
with a normal cycle time.
- Cycle 134°C Fast: keeps the use of 134°C Standard but it is created for low loads (up to
2 kg), consequently also the time of the cycle is shorter.
- Cycle 134°C Safety: created for immediate needs of the instrumentation, has a shorter
cycle time, load capacity up to 7 kg. Not suitable for wrapped loads.
- Cycle 134°C Flash: how to Safety cycle has been created for immediate need of the
instrumentation but with a load capacity up to 2 Kg. Not suitable for wrapped loads.
- Cycle 134°C Prion: created for Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (mad cow syndrome), load
capacity up to 7 kg, the cycle time is higher than 134°C Standard.
- Cycle 134°C Prion Fast: created for need to perform a Prion Cycle with lower load (up
to 2 Kg) in a shorter time.
Please refer Fig.B for a detailed summary.
B – NIGHT CYCLES
The autoclave is equipped with a economizer special device. It is possible to perform all
cycles mentioned without operator. At the end of the cycle, if the door isn't opened, the
autoclave automatically turns off, remains turn on the main switch only (Fig.A-pos.11).
Upon arrival of the operators, simply press any button to turn on the autoclave and read to
display the outcome of the cycle.
C – TEST CYCLES
Available test cycle:
- Bowie&Dick test – par. 13.3
- Helix test – par. 13.4
- Vacuum test – par. 13.5
