4.4.7. Program start
After activation of a program press the
start button (10)
and program starts. Depending on the
program and the temperature in chamber the device starts directly or starts with preheating to realize
standard start conditions.
4.4.8. STOP Button
Each program can also be cancelled after the user has started it by pressing the
stop button (11).
Before the device is actually stopped, it asks whether it should actually do this. If you confirm this by
pressing the
stop button (11)
again, the device automatically goes to the end of the program,
reduces the chamber pressure and goes into the compensation phase. If the removal criteria are met,
the control waits for the program to be acknowledged. Only then can the device be opened. The
acknowledgment is made by pressing the
stop button (11)
again.
A canceled program is generally to be regarded as faulty! If the device is in a liquid program in the
cooling phase, the program can no longer be canceled. The cooling phase must be run through
before the device can end the program.
The different termination options depend on the type of program selected and the state in which the
device is at the time the program was terminated.
Particular attention is paid to the state of the thermal lock when using a fluid program. The thermal
lock is activated when the temperature for safe removal, defined in the parameters of the
compensation phase, has been exceeded at the reference point. Then it is not possible to open the
chamber immediately after termination! The condition for safe removal must then be reached. As a
rule, this is achieved by self-cooling!
If the program is terminated before the end of the sterilization
phase, the items to be sterilized are considered to be “non-
sterile” and must be declared and treated accordingly!
If a program termination is initialized in an instrument program with final drying, the items to be
sterilized and the chamber are then wet! In this state, the items to be sterilized cannot be stored for
longer than 2 hours even if the sterilization has been carried out correctly! If possible, the chamber
should be dried before starting the program again.
Use the program break for emergency break only! The device
will try to finish the program regular even it finds an error! So
breaking a program is not necessary in each case of error
message. Try Escape before breaking the program!
