Calibration procedure
When to calibrate the unit
If you replace a component that affects the system monitoring sterilization conditions, you will have to check
and possibly adjust the calibration of the unit. These components include: the pressure sensor, thermocouple
and controller board.
NOTE: To ensure a successful calibration process, run a vacuum test prior to calibration to check the unit for
leaks.
Regional regulatory guidelines may also require that an autoclave be calibrated at regular intervals.
Equipment and tools required
1. Pressure and temperature meter
2. Temperature probe
3. Allen key (6mm)
4. Teflon tape
5. Adjustable wrench
6. Calibration fitting (01-115514S)
Calibration equipment specifications:
•
Calibration reference meters (temperature and pressure) are important for accurately setting the
STATCLAVE G4 unit so that the correct sterilization conditions (temperature and pressure) occur in
accordance with the original specifications of the unit and national/international standards.
•
Any digital thermometer and temperature probe (thermocouple) used during calibration should have the
highest accuracy around 130°C and 140°C.
• Temperature meters and probes should always be calibrated as a matched pair.
•
Test equipment must be calibrated within the manufacturer’s recommended calibration interval.
•
Calibration of reference equipment used with autoclaves should ALWAYS be completed to national or
international standards and by a certified calibration laboratory.
