Program 1: Glass
For glass instruments, when the manufacturer recommends
autoclaving at temperatures of 134
C (273
F). Drying stage is available
for PV (pre-vacuum) models only.
Nominal parameters default settings
•
Sterilization temperature: 134
C (273
F).
•
Sterilization time: 3 minutes.
•
Drying time: 1 minute. (PV
– pre-vacuum models only).
Operations sequence:
•
(PV, pre-vacuum models only) Pulse low/Pulse high:
at one
pulse it will build vacuum down to 25 kPa.
•
Heating:
Steam enters the chamber and heats it up until the
sterilization temperature is reached.
•
Sterilization:
Sterilization temperature is maintained constant during
the sterilization time.
•
Cooling:
N/A.
•
Fast Exhaust:
the steam is exhausted out of the chamber at a fast
rate until pressure decreases to ambient pressure.
•
(PV, pre-vacuum model only) Drying:
vacuum is built up and the
air pump is working.
•
Ending:
The system checks that End temperature and End pressure
have been reached, and then releases the door.
