4.13 Reaction to warnings / error messages__________________________________
The Euroklav
®
23V-S has a number of safety features and an extensive integrated control and monitoring
system, in order to ensure the greatest possible level of safety for the sterilization process, and to eliminate
risks for the patients and operators.
Various aspects of the operation of the appliance, such as pressure and temperature sensors are
automatically checked when the autoclave is switched on.
The power supply, and the quantity and quality of the feed water and cooling water are checked before a
program can start.
A successful program start is followed in the next stages by the monitoring of all parameters of relevance for
the sterilization. If any limit values for the individual program phases are exceeded then there is a
malfunction report and the program is automatically interrupted.
In addition to messages, warnings or malfunction reports on the display, if a printer is connected then a
printout will provide details of the type of malfunction and when it occurred.
If any such warning message occurs then you should consult Section 7, which provides detailed advice and
possible operational errors.
4.14 Operational
pauses
__________________________________________________
In general, the door should only be leant to during operational pauses in order to reduce wear on the door
seal and to avoid premature failure or sticking.
In the event of longer breaks, such as during vacations, the cooling water supply should be turned off (and
the feed water supply from the water purifier if one is connected).
