13.2 Autoclave manager
Appoint a staff member to be the Autoclave Manager.
The Autoclave Manager, who must be trained in the use
of the autoclave, will control the use of the Autoclave.
The Autoclave Manager is responsible for ensuring that
the correct sterilisation cycle is used for the items being
sterilised, ensuring that records are kept correctly, and
for keeping the PIN code(s) confidential.
We recommend that you set up the security so that you
have:
• 1 Autoclave Manager
(perhaps more in large departments).
• 1 or more Users.
Reasons for security
BS EN 13060 specifies the general requirements and
test methods for small steam sterilisers and sterilisation
cycles used for medical purposes, or for materials that
are likely to come into contact with blood or body fluids.
The choice of sterilisation cycle must be appropriate for
a particular load type.
HTM guidelines state that:
• Permanent records of every sterilisation cycle
should be kept.
• Written records of all testing and maintenance
should be kept
• Sterilisation performance must be checked
frequently
.
The security offered by the SES 2010 Autoclave
captures all of these elements. The PIN codes that you
create form a major part of the record keeping for this
Autoclave. They appear in the cycle records (Section
12.3 : “Records Menu”), and in records printed using
the Cycle Logger application (Section 14).
The PIN codes will allow you to know:
Who started a cycle
High security level
Who stopped a cycle
All security levels
Who unlocked the door at the
end of a cycle
All security levels
Who cleared Service screens Medium and High
security levels
Who needs training
All security levels
13.1 Overview
The autoclave can be configured to provide varying
levels of security.
• This takes the form of
a four digit PIN code
which must be entered
into the Keypad at
different points in the
touch screen menu.
Levels of security
The autoclave provides for three types of user:
Type

User
Day-to-day user
Manager

Service
Eschmann use only
• A User PIN will only work at a User location.
• A Manager PIN will work at both a User or
Manager location.
There are fixed points in the touch screen menu that
require you to enter a PIN code that cannot be disabled:
Fixed PIN Locations

Default setting
The autoclave has twelve PINs. PIN 0001 is configured
as a Manager allowing full access to the autoclave
(except Eschmann Service screens). For security, this
number should be changed by the Manager when first
receiving the unit.
Note: REMEMBER YOUR “MANAGER” PIN CODE!
A forgotten Manager PIN code will require a
Service call-out to access the menus.
All other PINs are disabled by being set to 0000.
Security PINs are configured in the Settings\PIN
Management menu. The Settings menu is protected by
the Manager PIN.
