Introduction
This section details the vacuum subsystem. Included in this chapter are
the theory of operation as it relates to the vacuum subsystem, the tools
needed for vacuum subsystem maintenance, calibration of the vacuum
subsystem, and removal and replacement of the vacuum subsystem and
its various components.
Different Subsystem Configurations
The STERRAD
®
100 Sterilization System is currently in the
Block 2.0
and STERRAD
100 S
phases. These versions of the STERRAD 100
Sterilizer are very different, with regard to the vacuum subsystem, from
previous versions of the STERRAD 100 System. There are Block 1.8
systems with Leybold D16A vacuum pumps and D16B vacuum pumps.
The D16A pumps have exceeded their life expectancy and should
continue to be used until they fail. At that time, the D16B pump can be
installed in the Block 1.8 system as a replacement. Conversion
information is contained in the removal procedures in this guide. More
detailed conversion information is available from the ASP Services Help
Desk.
If a Block 1.8 system with a D16A pump is going to be used with
STERRAD 100 S Software, the pump musts be upgraded with a D16B oil
return system as well as other upgrades so that it works correctly with
the software.
Block 2 systems have D16B vacuum pumps. However, these pumps are
a different part number even though they are configured and installed in
the same manner. Differences in configurations are noted in the text.
Systems equipped with the STERRAD
100 S
Software must have the
D16B pump installed. STERRAD
100 S
Systems have an oil return
system that is similar to
Block 2
. Removal, replacement and calibration
procedures are the same for STERRAD
100 S
System as for the other
systems unless otherwise notated in the text.
Differences in configurations are noted in the text. When you see the
STERRAD icon next to the text, as with the above paragraph, that is the
symbol for a configuration other than Block 1.8.
