TECHNICAL DATA
3.1
Introduction
Models 3840, 3850, and 3870 ELV/ELVC are vertical sterilizers designed
especially for sterilization of instruments, liquids and other materials in
hospital laboratories, medical laboratories, research institutes, food
laboratories and pharmaceutical facilities.
A special feature of this sterilizer is the fast cooling operation, provided as
an option for the liquids sterilization cycle.
The sterilizer is fully automatic with a choice of ten programs (including
two custom programs), eliminating any need for operator intervention
during a cycle. The custom programs are programs that may be changed
by an authorized technician. A computerized control unit enables precise
control and monitoring of physical parameters and clear documentation of
the sterilization cycles.
The autoclave is equipped with a safety valve, which blows off at 280 kPa
(40 psi) (max. working pressure). The safety valve is located on the rear of
the autoclave. The control system provides adequate protection, to ensure
the safety of personnel and reliable operation with a minimum of down
time.
On both models, a printer is an optional addition to the autoclave. The
printer prints the preset and actual parameters of the cycle (temperature,
time and pressure/vacuum).
The autoclave is equipped with an analog pressure gauge designed for
reference only. In case that there is any problem with electricity supply
during a sterilization cycle the pressure gauge will be used to verify that
there is pressure in the chamber.
This manual provides information for the following models:
ELV – this is the basic model of the vertical laboratory autoclave.
ELVC – this model includes a cooling system that enables cycles with
fast cooling.
This manual is intended to give the user a general understanding of how
the autoclave works and indicates best ways to operate and maintain it in
order to obtain optimum results and a trouble free operation.
After reading this manual, operating the autoclave should be straight
forward. However, since the autoclave is built using high technology
sensitive components, no attempt should be made by the user or any other
unauthorized person to repair or re-calibrate it.
Only technical personnel having proper qualifications, holding technical
documentation and adequate test instrumentation, are authorized to
undertake repair or service.
