Safety Instructions
The autoclave has unique characteristics. Please read and understand the operation
instructions provided by the manufacturer before the first operation of the autoclave. The
following issues may require clarification: The operation of the autoclave; the door safety
mechanism; the door closing mechanism; the dangers involved in circumventing safety
means; and finally, the selection of an appropriate sterilization program.
Make sure that you know the placement of the main power switch, the position of the
water cut-off valve, where the steam and compressed air disconnection valves are
located.
Autoclave maintenance is crucial for the correct and efficient function of the device.
The daily B&D test and the weekly spore test are part of the preventive maintenance
plan, along with the annual validation of the sterilization processes that ensures
appropriate temperature dispersion within the chamber.
Warning!
Never use the autoclave for the sterilization of corrosive products and chemicals ,
such as: Acids, bases and phenols, volatile compounds or solutions such
ethanol, methanol or chloroform nor radioactive substances.
Safety Operation Instructions
1. NEVER start a new autoclave or a new steam generator, before the safety,
licensing, and authorization department has not approved it for use.
2. All autoclave users must receive training in proper usage from an experienced
employee. Every new employee must undergo a training period under an
experienced employee.
3. A written procedure must be established for autoclave operation, including:
Daily safety tests; seal inspection and door hinge inspection; smooth action of
the closing mechanism; chamber cleaning; prevention of clogging;
preservation from corrosion; and finally, what is permitted and what is
prohibited for sterilization and choosing a sterilization program.
4. If there is a steam generator
– drain it daily.
5. If there is an air compressor
– drain it daily.
6. Before use, check inside the autoclave chamber to ensure that no items have
been left from a previous cycle.
7. Before loading the autoclave, clean the strainer on the chamber floor.
8. Load trays in such a way as to allow steam to move freely among all items.
9.
Liquids may be sterilized only with the ―liquids‖ program. The container must
be covered but not sealed. Sealed bottles may only be sterilized using a
special program. The bottle must be either Pyrex or a Borosilicate glass bottle.
10. When sterilizing plastic materials, make sure that the item can withstand
sterilization temperature. Plastic that melts in the chamber is liable to cause a
great deal of damage.
