AUTOCLAVE COMPONENTS IDENTIFICATION
2
1
PANEL -
It is located in the front part of the autoclave, It’s made with ABS injected plastic (Fig. 4, page 10).
LID -
Located right behind the panel, it’s made of stainless steel and it is responsible for closing the autoclave
chamber (Fig. 7, page 10).
KEYBOARD -
Located in the panel, it is where the autoclave display and controls keys are (Figs. 4 and 5, page 10).
DISPLAY -
It is where all the functions/MESSAGES of the autoclave are shown, it has two lines with 16 characters each.
It’s located in the center of the keyboard (Fig. 5, page 10).
HANDLE -
Located in the front part of the autoclave (Fig. 4, page 10), it’s used to open, close and lock the
autoclave door (panel/lid set). To check the door correct locking position see Figs. 17 and 18 (Page 14).
DOOR GASKET -
Attached to the door, its function is to seal it with the chamber (Figs. 6 and 7, page 10), it also works
as a safety device. See “
Safety Devices
” (Item 2, page 11). It requires
weekly
maintenance. See “
Preventive
Maintenance
” (Item 4, page 19).
VSPF VALVE -
The VSPF valve (patent pending) is one of the devices responsible for relieving the pressure inside the
2
chamber in case it goes beyond 2.7 kgf/cm or eliminate vacuum from the chamber when it is formed.
INTERNAL STEAM EXITS -
There are two orifices inside the chamber (Fig. 11, page 11) that work as conduits for the
steam from the chamber to the solenoid valve. They must be inspected
daily
to be kept free from obstructions.
ATTENTION!
When loading the autoclave, be careful not to put any instruments, packages or other articles against or
too close to the internal steam exits. This will cause interference in the cycle.
EXTERNAL STEAM EXIT
- Located in the back part of the autoclave (Fig. 1, page 8), it has a diameter of 5/16” for the
connection of the discharge hose, which is then connected to the plumbing system or proper container for this
purpose. It releases the cold air in the beginning of the cycle and the steam at the end of it. See “
Installation
Instructions
” topic “
Hydraulic Installation
” (Page 8).
SOLENOID VALVE -
Internal component of the equipment responsible for the deareration and depressurization. It
opens it the beginning of the heating stage eliminating the cold air from the chamber, then it shuts down to allow
pressure build up for the sterilization and opens again at the end of the cycle for the depressurization of the
chamber.
BASE -
The base of the autoclave (metallic structure) is produced in carbon steel with textured electrostatic painting. The
paint used (Nobak) has antimicrobial properties (Fig. 11, page 11);
COVER -

Fig. 15, page 11
instruments to be sterilized free from any direct contact with the water and internal surface of the autoclave.
MEASURING CUP -
Used to measure the right amount of
distilled water
necessary for the sterilization process (Fig. 8, page
10).
POWER CABLE
- Used to connect the equipment to the electrical outlet.
Note:
The Vitale Plus 21 (127V) model has a non-
detachable power cable (Fig. 9, page 10).
CLAMP
- Used to fasten the discharge hose to the external steam exit (Fig. 10, page 10).
BUZZER
- Device used to emit the beeps produced by the autoclave (Fig. 1, page 8);
