4.7 Emergency Door
Opening Procedure
This procedure should only be used when pressure remains in the sterilizer
chamber, and the door cannot be opened normally because the sterilizer has
lost either electrical or water utilities. This emergency door opening procedure
can be used to retrieve a load in the chamber. The procedure requires
pushing on the door cover to compress the door seal into the groove, then
operating the door manually.
NOTE: Do not use this procedure when a LIQUID load is inside the sterilizer
chamber. The load may boil over due to the fast exhaust process. Contact your
STERIS Service Representative for assistance.
Procedure:
1. Remove the lower front panel on the sterilizer.
2. Open the chamber emergency exhaust valve located at the bottom of the
unit behind the lower front panel. Do not open the second valve at this time.
3. Monitor the chamber pressure gauge located on the front left hand side
panel. Wait until the gauge reads 0 psig (0 bar) pressure in the sterilizer
chamber. Valve must remain open, even after chamber pressure reaches
0 psig.
4. When the pressure in the sterilizer chamber reaches 0. Open the second
emergency exhaust valve. This valve relieves the door seal. Wait approxi-
mately three minutes for door seal to exhaust. Valve must remain open.
5. Using a towel or sterilizer loading mitt, push the door in at each of the four
corners. This will compress the door seal into the door seal groove and
allow the door to be opened.
6. Open the door.
Hinged-door units:
Operate the release lever, and swing the door open.
Sliding-door units:
Once the door seal has been compressed, push the
door in the normal direction of travel to open. The door will slide stiffly, so
be prepared to push hard.
7. Once the door is open, do not use the sterilizer until a qualified service
technician has examined the unit. Further use without attention may
damage the sterilizer.
8. Close both of the emergency exhaust valves.
WARNING – BURN HAZ-
ARD: After manual exhaust,
steam may remain inside the
chamber. Always wear pro-
tective gloves, apron, and a
face shield when following
emergency procedure to un-
load sterilizer. Stay as far
back from the chamber
opening as possible when
opening the door.
