4.2 Un-loading
1.
When the buzzer signals the successful completion of a cycle, open the door
and let the load cool down for several minutes.
2.
Maneuver the Transfer Carriage into position to line up the rails with the rails of
the autoclave, lock the two locking wheels.
3.
Remove the loading cart (or the containers) onto the Transfer Carriage and
place aside to cool down.
4.
Allow the load to cool down in an area with minimum passing traffic (to avoid the
possibility of touching the hot load), and without air movement (air conditioning,
etc.). Do not touch the hot load. Hot loads absorb moisture and may absorb
bacteria from the hand.
5.
Do not transfer a hot load to metal shelves for cooling. Perform a visual
inspection to ascertain that sterilizing indicators have made the required color
change, and that the load is dry.
The load is to be rejected if:
a. The package has been compressed.
b. The package is torn.
c. The load is wet (water droplets signs).
d. The load fell on the floor.
e. Condense can be observed on the lid.
f. The PCD or other indicator present – Faulty cycle.
