Printer
The MC8 printer is a separate unit connected to the steril-
izer by a plug-in cable and a separate power supply. The
optional MC10 printer is an integral part of the Control
Panel.
Non-Recirculating
Water Accessory
Standard MC8 and MC10 sterilizers discharge steam back
into the reservoir. For sterilizers with the non-recirculating
system, the distilled water is used to make steam in the
chamber for one cycle only. Used water (steam) is ex-
hausted into the cooling tank which then overflows into the
collection bottle. The collection bottle is then emptied when
full.
An optional overflow tube is provided for connection to the
back of the cooling tank. This feature allows the excess
water to drain directly into a sink or drain (if available),
eliminating the need to periodically empty the collection
bottle.
Recommended Steam
Sterilization Monitoring Program
All functions of the sterilizer should be monitored to provide
maximum sterilization assurance.
The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals and
the American Dental Association recommends that biologi-
cal indicators be used at least weekly to check the effec-
tiveness of steam sterilizers to sterilize; i.e., to kill test
organisms of a known high resistance. (Bacillus stearother-
mophilus is the recommended test organism for monitoring
steam sterilization.)
