Program 2:
Plastic
For plastic and other delicate instruments, when the manufacturer
recommends autoclaving at temperatures of 121
C (250
F). Drying
stage is available for PV (pre-vacuum) models only.
Nominal parameters default settings
•
Sterilization temperature: 121
C (250
F)
•
Sterilization time: 15 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 models 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.
