2 TECHNICAL DATA
2.1 Introduction
This tabletop autoclave is designed for the sterilization of wrapped and
unwrapped instruments and related items found in dental, medical and
veterinary clinics, first aid rooms, hospitals, laboratories, etc.
This autoclave is an electrically heated sterilizer using steam as the
sterilizing agent. A computerized control unit ensuring a fully automatic
sterilization cycle, control and monitoring of physical parameters and a
clear documentation of the sterilization cycle controls the autoclave.
The autoclave has three automatic programs, according to the material to
be sterilized, and one auxiliary drying program. Models EA and EKA are
equipped with an air compressor that, during the drying stage, draws air
through a HEPA filter (0.2
µ
m). It pushes that air through the heated
chamber to remove moisture and facilitate the drying operation. Drying is
performed with the door closed.
On all models (except 1730), a water pump is installed between the water
reservoir and the chamber. This pump guarantees fast and accurate filling
of the chamber every time. Entry of water may be accompanied by a
noise for approximately 30 seconds. This is normal noise generated by
regular operation of the pump.
The control system provides adequate protection to ensure the safety of
personnel and reliable operation with a minimum of shutdown time.
On all models (except 1730), a printer is an optional addition to the
autoclave. The printer prints the preset and actual parameters of the cycle
(temperature, time and pressure).
This manual is intended for the user and gives the user a general
understanding of the instrument and the best ways to operate and take
care of it in order to obtain optimum effective results.
After reading this manual, operating the autoclave will be easy. However,
since this instrument is built with high technology sensitive components,
no attempt should be made by the user or any other unauthorized person
to repair or recalibrate it.
Only technical personnel, having proper qualifications and holding
technical documentation (including a technician manual) and
adequate information are authorized to service the apparatus.
2.2 Standby Heating Mode
The autoclave provides an option of heating the chamber in standby
mode between cycles with a very low power in order to reduce total cycle
time (1.6% of the total power only). The autoclave turns off automatically
if the interval between the sterilization cycles is more than 2 hours. This
feature is standard on all EK, EKA models and optional on all E, EA
models.
2.3 Environmental Emission Information
1. The peak sound level generated by the autoclave is less than 70 dBA
with background noise of 60 dBA.
2. The total heat per hour transmitted by the autoclave is < 100 Wh for all
models.
