Vacuum test
The vacuum test should only be performed on a cold device before starting work. During the test, the
device verifies:
• vacuum pump capacity.
• tightness of the pneumatic system.
During the vacuum test the sterilizer chamber must be completely dry and cold. If not, the vacuum
test may not be reliable even if the sterilizer is fully operational. When the test is complete a
message indicating the result will appear on the display. If the result is negative check, clean or
replace the seal, clean the front edge of the chamber and repeat the test. If the Vacuum test fails
again, contact the supplier or manufacturer.
After selecting a vacuum test program and starting
it with the button, the vacuum test program run
screen is displayed, with Information about loss of
pressure in the working chamber and the duration
of the test.
