WARNING!
When loading the autoclave take care not to
damage the door or front face of the
chamber, especially the door seal and
mating face. Damage to these parts can
adversely affect performance.
Do not reprocess single-use items.
• Thorough cleaning of all items prior to sterilisation is
imperative to ensure instruments can be effectively
sterilised. If visible debris or bio-burden is not
removed prior to sterilisation it will interfere with
microbial deactivitation and will compromise the
sterilisation process.
• Eschmann always recommend the use of a
validated, automated cleaning process, i.e. thermal
washer disinfector. Always follow the instrument
manufacturer’s instructions.
• Ensure all instruments are rinsed thoroughly prior
to sterilisation to remove any traces of chemical
detergents/disinfectants as these may cause
corrosion during the sterilisation process. Ensure
instruments are dried prior to being placed in the
autoclave.
• Open and unlock all items fitted with hinges or
ratchets.
• Dismantle, or only loosely assemble, any multiple-
part items to allow steam penetration.
• Once loaded, start the autoclave cycle. Do not leave
items awaiting processing in the autoclave, unless
set for delayed start (Refer to Section 12.1).
• Check the suitability of non-metallic items for
processing in an autoclave. Check that the
temperatures are acceptable.
• Load types and load arrangements should conform
to that specified below and detailed in Appendix
5 : “Maximum Loads”. If in doubt about loads and
processing details, contact Eschmann.
Unwrapped solid items only
• The autoclave is ONLY suitable for unwrapped solid
items. Refer to Section 1.3 Limitations of Use.
• Place unwrapped solid items loose on trays or into
hands-free instrument transfer (HFiT) cassettes.
• DO NOT overload trays or HFiT cassettes (refer to
Appendix 5: “Technical data” for details of maximum
tray loads and maximum load).
• Avoid bunching items together and ensure all items
are positioned so that they do not touch and can
drain freely.
• Only use trays or HFiT cassettes supplied by
Eschmann.
• Place loaded trays and HFiT cassettes in the
sterilising chamber.
• Position all items so that they drain freely and do
not trap rising air bubbles.
• Sterilised items are intended for immediate use.
Appendix 2 : Loading the autoclave
Using the tray lifter
CAUTION
Take care when unloading.
The load and the chamber may be very hot.
Remove the load safely using the tray lifter. Position the
half-round base under the item to be lifted and hook on
to the item using one of the pairs of top clips:
• Use the upper pair for HFiT (Hand Free instrument
Transfer) cassettes - hold at the side or end of the
cassette.
• Use the lower pair for trays - not the upper pair.
•
Pull the tray carrier to unclip it from the chamber.
The tray carrier requires a gentle push to clip it
back into the autoclave chamber.
