Sterilization Cycles; Cycle Descriptions; Operation Cycles; Operation Cycles - Night Cycles - Tecno-gaz Europa B xp Mode D'emploi

9.1 – CYCLE DESCRIPTIONS
The autoclave has three series of cycles:
a- operation cycles
b- operation cycles-night cycles
c- test cycles
9.2 – OPERATION CYCLES
All operation cycles have a system of fractioned vacuum, which therefore permits sterilization of materials that
are hollow, porous, solid, both free and packaged.
Temperatures can be selected from 121°C – 134°C.
Normally the cycles of 121°C are used for thermoplastics or sensitive materials, while the 134°C cycles are
used for all other materials.
In all cases always follow the indications given by the manufacturer of the instruments or devices to
be sterilized.
There are also two special cycles:
-prion cycle, studied for the Crutzfeldt-Jacobs disease (mad cow disease)
-flash cycle created for rapid sterilization of unpackaged instruments and devices.
9.3 – OPERATION CYCLES – NIGHT CYCLES
Europa B xp is provided with a special economizer device.
This device allows the execution of sterilization cycles without the presence of an operator.
At cycle end, if the door is not opened, the autoclave stabilizes and then shuts off automatically. Only the
general switch remains on.
Upon the operator's arrival it is sufficient to press any button to re-start the autoclave and read the cycle result
on the display.
Besides that the printer will have regularly prepared the written report relative to the same cycle.
