Operations sequence:
•
(PV, pre-vacuum models only)
Pulse low/Pulse high:
at one pulse it
will build vacuum down to 25 kPa.
•
Water Inlet:
Water enters the chamber
•
Heating:
The chamber and is heated by actuation of electrical
heaters 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.

recommends autoclaving at temperatures of 121
C (250
F). Drying
stage is available for PV (pre-vacuum) models only.
