If required, enter your credentials and confirm the load release.
Note
: the load release is possible only if the cycle is completed
successfully.
Note
: the user visually checks that pouches are intact and dry. It is even
possible to identify the user who releases the load.
Note
: during the load release it is also possible to insert the chemical and
biological indicator result (for US-CA version only).
STERILIZATION CYCLE MONITORING
Even if the sterilization process is automatically monitored by the
software and the values of temperature, pressure and duration are
controlled, there is the possibility to check the values manually. See
the table below for the correct values of the temperature, pressure,
and duration in order to confirm manually the proper execution of
the cycle.

SET THE STERILIZATION CYCLE START
You may schedule the start of the sterilization cycles at a certain
date and time (e.g., if you want to load the sterilizer in the evening
and run standard sterilization cycle early the next morning before
office hours). You can set the cycle start date and time and enable or
disable it for each cycle.
