Choosing to “RESET” will either (1) switch the display to the “Log” screen or (2) repeat the
same alarm if the condition is still present. The controller will not allow the sterilizer to
continue until the alarm has been reset. For example, if the alarm was “02 ‐ Low Water
Level,” water will need to be added to the jacket before the alarm will reset.
The controller will then display the “Log” screen with the details of the alarm for
recordkeeping.
3.3.6 MAINTENANCE REMINDER:
Per FDA regulations, every 100 cycles or 14 calendar days , the water in the entire system
must be drained and refilled. After every 100 cycles, a “Maintenance Reminder” screen is
shown to remind the operator that the water in the SMU jacket, the WRS, and the SWS
must be drained and replenished with fresh potable water. If needed, flush the SWS until
clear (2 ‐ minute flush).
This reminder also serves to help encourage maintenance technicians to check and follow
the recommended maintenance schedule (Reference Section 4).
3.3.7 STATUS:
The “STATUS” screen can be accessed (except when a cycle is running) in order to look at
data such as jacket pressure, chamber pressure, chamber condensate temperature (both
RTDs), whether the door switch is showing open or closed, if the water level is OK or low,
and how many total cycles the unit has run.
This screen can be accessed by selecting the “STATUS” button from the “Main Menu”
screen.
