6.4 Loading and Unloading the Device
6.4.1 Safety
Protective equipment, clothes and other safety instructions should
be implemented in accordance with local and national regulations
and/or rules!
For proper sterilization - Do not overload the chamber. Only
autoclavable products shall be used; please refer to the material or
instrument manufacturer's instructions for sterilization of unknown
materials or instruments.
6.4.2 Loading
Correct loading of the autoclave is essential to successful
sterilizing for several reasons. Efficient air removal from the
chamber and the load will permit steam penetration and saturation,
and allow proper drainage of condensate. Additionally, correct
loading will reduce damage to packs and their contents and
maximize efficient use of the sterilizer.
For detailed loading instructions, see sec. 7 (Preparation before
sterilization).
6.4.3 Unloading
On completion of the cycle, the load shall be immediately
removed from the sterilizer and a visual inspection made to
ascertain that the load is dry, and that sterilizing indicators have
made the required color change.
6.5 Filling the Water Reservoir
Remove the water reservoir cover. Pour distilled water into the reservoir
through the opening on top of the autoclave until it reaches the base of the
safety valve holder, approximately 0.7 gallons (3 liters).
Use water-having characteristics as per table in sec 2.11.
Caution:
Under no circumstance should water be filled above the safety valve
holder
.
USE DISTILLED WATER ONLY . The impurities in tap water will
create the need for more frequent cleaning and maintenance, in addition,
they will accumulate and block the hole of the
Air Jet . This will prevent
the temperature in the chamber from rising properly. This will cause the
unit to abort its cycle, spore tests to fail and indicator strips not to
change color
. It is essential from time to time during heating and
sterilization phases that a spray of steam should escape, from the Air Jet,
causing a hissing sound. If no escaping steam is evident or no hissing sound
heard, follow the instructions in sec 9.4 for cleaning the
Air Jet .
