Helix test
The purpose of the test with hollow A load according to standard EN 13060 is to check
that steam penetrates correctly into hollow A loads, and to check the efficiency of the air
removal system.
This test should be run on B type cycles.
The Cominox Helix test consists of a metal capsule containing a chemical process
indicator and a Teflon tube that is 1.5 m long with an internal diameter of 2 mm. The even
color change of the chemical indicator ensures that the steam has properly penetrated
through the hollow body.
To run the test correctly, proceed as you would for any other sterilization cycle, but without
loading the sterilizer:
- turn the sterilizer on with the
main switch 13
.
- open the
door 16.
- insert the Cominox Helix Test device on the lower tray.
- close the
door 16
.
- press ON and enter the access code.
- press the MENU key from STAND BY, select the Menu Cycle (number 1), and press ENTER.
- use the arrows
↑↓
to select the B cycle to be tested. Press ENTER to return to STAND BY.
- press START from STAND BY and wait for the cycle to finish. The words CYCLE END and the
corresponding icon will appear on the screen.
- press STOP, enter the access code and open the
door 16
.
- remove the tray holding the test and check the results of the test according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Printer
If installed and enabled (see Main Settings Menu, sec. 2.6), at the end of each cycle, the
printer 26
(optional, standard on PRINT models)
will produce a report containing
information about the cycle that just ended.
Printing starts when STOP is pressed, or, for cycles that end with drying phases, also when
the door is opened.
The printout provides all the information needed to document the cycle:
•
the date and time
•
the SterilClave model
•
the serial number
•
the cycle in progress
•
the sterilization time
•
the sterilization temperature
•
the cycle number
•
whether or not drying is scheduled
•
the description of each phase, with start time and the temperature and pressure
values
•
in sterilization, the minimum and maximum pressure, temperature, and theoretical
steam temperature values will also be printed
•
the total cycle duration, with the date and time the cycle ended
•
the load
•
the operator
The information on time, pressure, and temperature is printed each time the phase
changes or after each minute in the cycle has passed, depending on the option selected
in the Main Settings Menu for the Data logging parameter (see sec. 2.8).
In the case of an ALARM, the printout will show the code for the alarm that was triggered.
