3. GENERAL INFORMATION
3.1. Introduction
The EA-D, EKA-D tabletop autoclave is designed for sterilization of wrapped
and unwrapped instruments, and related items found in dental, medical, and
veterinary clinics, first aid rooms, hospitals laboratories etc.
This autoclave is an electrically – heated sterilizer using steam as the
sterilizing agent. A computerized control unit ensures a fully automatic
sterilization cycle, control and monitoring of physical parameters and a clear
documentation of the sterilization cycle.
The autoclave offers a choice of four automatic programs designed to match
the material to be sterilized. The autoclave is equipped with an air pump that
during the drying stage draws air through a HEPA filter (0.2µm) and pushes
that air through the heated chamber to remove moisture and facilitate the
drying operation.
Drying is performed with the door closed.
On all models, a water pump is installed between the water reservoir and the
chamber. This pump guarantees fast and accurate filling of the chamber every
time. Entry of water may be accompanied by a noise for approximately 30
seconds. This is normal noise generated by the regular operation of the pump.
The EA-D, EKA-D series features a digital display for monitoring and control
purposes. The device is capable of displaying the pressure in psia, psig, or in
kPa according to the operator’s requirements. When the pressure is displayed
in psig, the atmospheric pressure is shown (at sea level) as 0 psig. If the
pressure is defined in psia or kPa the absolute zero is displayed as “0” and the
atmospheric pressure is shown (at sea level) as 14.7 psia or 100 kPa
respectively. The EA-D, EKA-D can display temperature in ºF or ºC.
A printer is an optional addition to the autoclave. The printer prints the preset
and actual parameters of the cycle (temperature, time and pressure).
The EA-D, EKA-D features built-in memory to record up to 100 sterilization
cycles. These can be reprinted on the optional printer or exported to a USB
device to be transferred to a PC.
The difference between the EA-D and the EKA-D is that in EKA-D is that in
EKA-D the complete cycle is quicker.
Caution!
Only technical personnel having proper qualifications and
holding technical documentation (including a technician
manual) and adequate information are authorized to service
the apparatus.
