8.3.2 Flush Chamber Drain
Drain Cleaning Frequency:
• If liquids such as microbiology media are processed in the
sterilizer on a regular basis, the chamber drain should be
cleaned once a week.
• The drain should also be cleaned following chamber cleaning to
remove any debris resulting from the cleaning process.
• The drain should be cleaned whenever it becomes clogged.
Drain Cleaning Method:
1. Turn off sterilizer power, water, and steam supply.
2. After jacket pressure is zero, completely open sterilizer chamber
door and allow sterilizer to cool (approximately 4 to 5 hours).
3. Remove chamber drain strainer ( Figure 8-11 ). Clean strainer
using procedures in S
ECTION
8.3.1 , if necessary.
4. To clean the chamber drain, measure 1-2 ounces (60ml) of full
strength STERIS Liqui-Jet
®
2 Instrument Detergent into a metal
medicine cup and pour the solution slowly down the sterilizer
drain.
NOTE: If Liqui-Jet 2 is unavailable, you may use a hot solution of
~1 tablespoon (15mL) of trisodium phosphate to 1 pint (500 mL) of
hot water.
5. After 5 minutes pour approximately 1 pint (500 ml) of hot tap
water down the drain to rinse out the Liqui-Jet 2.
NOTE: The tap water (from Step 5) may puddle on the bottom of the
chamber. This is normal and should drain completely after a few
minutes. If the water does not drain completely, it may be necessary
to initiate a cycle and immediately abort it. The cycle/abort action
opens the sterilizer drain, draining the water from the chamber.
6. Rinse the bottom of the chamber with a small amount of water to
prevent detergent residue from baking onto the surface.
7. Return drain strainer to the drain.
WARNING – BURN HAZARD:
Allow sterilizer and
accessories to cool to room
temperature before
performing any cleaning or
maintenance procedures.
