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 as
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 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.
Page 2 of 99 pages
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.
11. Individual glass bottles may be placed within an appropriate container that will
be placed on a tray. Never place glass bottles on the floor of the autoclave.
Never fill more than 2/3 of the bottle volume.
12. On closing the autoclave door, make sure that it is properly locked before
activating.
13. Verify once, again that you have chosen the appropriate sterilization program.
14. Before withdrawing trays, wear heat resistant gloves.
15. Before opening the door, verify that there is no pressure in the chamber
(chamber pressure gauge is located on the autoclave's front panel).
16. Open the door slowly to allow steam to escape and wait 5 minutes before you
remove the load. When sterilizing liquids, wait 10 minutes.
17. Once a month, ensure that the safety valves are operating; and once a year,
that a certified inspector performs a chamber pressure safety test.
18. Once annually, or more frequently, effective tests must be performed, i.e.,
calibration and validation.
19. Check the condition of assemblies on a regular basis. Make sure there are no
leaks, breaks, blockages, whistles or strange noises.
20. Perform maintenance operations as instructed.
21. Notify the person in charge immediately of any deviation or risk of proper
function of the device.
22. It is strictly forbidden for any person to enter the autoclave’s chamber. If, for
any reason (for cleaning, maintenance or if something falls down), it is
necessary to enter the chamber, the person must ensure the system cannot be
accidently turned ON.
Instructions for Contaminated Waste

1. GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 Introduction
This autoclave is designed to cover a large field of applications for hospitals and medical
centers as well as pharmaceutical and biotechnological industries.
The autoclave operates with saturated steam as the sterilizing agent, and has a
temperature range of up to 279ºF (137°C) and pressure up to 34 psi (2.3 bars).
The autoclave is equipped with one Manual hinged door, locked and unlocked by
rotating the wheel located on front of the door. The door locking mechanism incorporate
safety lock which prevents the door locking mechanism from rotating, locking the door in
the closed position while there is pressure in the chamber. This is achieved by steam
pressure inside the sterilization chamber. The moment the pressure is above 115kPa,
the locking cylinder enters the door locking mechanism preventing it from rotating, and
will only be released when the chamber pressure drops below 115kPa.
The interlocking system of the door is based on the following opening conditions:
♦ The door cannot be opened if the chamber is under pressure.
The sealing of the chamber is achieved through a heat resistant silicone gasket, located
in a groove around the door opening of the autoclave.
The control system of the sterilizer is based on microcomputer technology, ensuring a

highly reliable and safe operation. The computerized control unit ensures a fully
automatic operation through the entire cycle; hence, after setting the pre-selected
parameters and starting the operation, no further operator intervention is necessary.
The autoclave has an automatic shutdown system. If no buttons or switches are

operated for four hours, it will go into Stand By mode and a LED lights up (blinking every
second), indicating that the system is in the Stand By mode.
The selected program, the main phases of the cycle and the status of the machine are
controlled and displayed on digital readouts. For process documentation, the important
information concerning operation is printed.
STEAM-LOCKING PISTON
A steam operated locking piston has been installed on the door, to prevent the chamber
doors from opening when the chamber is pressurized.
When a pressure of over 115 kPa is identified in the chamber, the locking pin enters the
door-handle to restrict the movement of the locking-wheel. As a result, the door-handle
is unable to move to either the locking or unlocking position.
Page 4 of 99 pages
The system is equipped with two temperature sensors, two pressure transducers, two
pressure gauges, and safety devices having the following functions:
The temperature sensors are located:
1. In the drain – (control)
2. In the condensate line(double) – (control, monitoring, and printout)
The pressure transducers measure:
1. Chamber pressure – (control, display, and printout)
2. Jacket pressure – (control and monitoring)
The pressure gauges:
1. Chamber pressure
2. Jacket pressure
The safety devices:
1. Water Level Electrode – (opens Fast exhaust and vacuum valve (75) if there
is liquid in the chamber at the end of the cycle)
2. MP320-5MAL end switch – (prevents the pressurizing of the chamber if the
door is not closed)
The keyboard located on the front panel enables the operator to select a sterilization
program, start/stop a cycle.
A programming mode, which can be accessed by a code, enables the technician to set
up the system, set and change a number of additional parameters and operational
modes and performing a calibration.
Optionally, a personal computer can be connected to the control system, through the
interface board RS232, which can be operated up to 8 meters away from the autoclave.
The PC, operating under WINDOWS displays the status, data and processing in real time
in graphic and digital form at the same time recording and logging the data. For a distance
more than 8 meters a RS485 communication port is available and a modem is required.
The communication PC-control unit enables the complete control of the autoclave
through the PC, including program selection, starting and stopping a cycle, setting of
parameters, and the real time clock (date and time of the day).
Warning!
Do not operate the autoclave in the presence of dangerous gases and vapors.
It is strictly forbidden to enter the autoclave chamber!
If, for any reason (for cleaning, maintenance or if something falls down), it is
necessary to enter the chamber, the person must lock the system by pressing the
emergency switch and take the key with him to prevent accidents and
unauthorized use.

3. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
3.1 The Piping System
The piping system of the autoclave consists of air-operated valves, which control the
condensate and steam flow in and out of the chamber, operate the vacuum, and the air
inlet valve. The air pulses to the pneumatic valves are transmitted through solenoid pilot
valves, operated at 24VDC.
The functions of the valves are as follows:
Steam to jacket (91) – introduces steam into the jacket to accelerate the heating of the
chamber and to maintain a stable and uniform temperature in the chamber during the
sterilization and drying stages.
Steam inlet valve (93) – introduces steam from the jacket into the chamber, for heating
and maintaining the chamber temperature during the sterilization phase.
Air inlet valve (43) – introduces filtered ambient air into the chamber at the end of the
cycle to break the vacuum and enable the opening of the door.
Fast exhaust and vacuum valve (75) – This valve performs three functions:
1) To exhaust the steam from chamber.
2) To connect the chamber to the ejector to create vacuum in the chamber in the
air removal and drying stages.
3) To drain any liquid from the chamber at the end of the sterilization cycle.
Condensate valve (74) – evacuates the condensate from the chamber during heating
and sterilization phases and isolates the chamber from the drain pipe, during vacuum
generation. It operates like a slow exhaust valve at the end of slow pressure programs.
Water to vacuum pump valve (15) – is connected to the tap water reservoir and
supplies the water required by the operation of the ejector.
Note:
The valve numbers are in accordance with the valve numbering list and piping
diagram.

sea level, the atmospheric pressure increases by 1kPa.
(The standard atmospheric pressure at Sea Level is 14.5psi. For every 1000ft. above
sea level, the atmospheric pressure drops 0.45psi, and for every 1000ft below sea level,
the atmospheric pressure increases by 0.45psi.)
When the door of the autoclave is open then set Atm. Pres. Parameter is entered into
the program memory and will serve as reference for correct pressure control and
monitoring.
If pressure is set correctly, then press ENTER and the next screen appears. If pressure
needs to be altered, this may be done either through the digital key or the UP/DN keys.
F – 0 Mode
This mode enables F – 0 calculations, the processing being based on data fed by two
temperature sensors. One mounted in chamber and one on the condensate pipeline.
The F - 0 calculations is performed for cycles with sterilization temperatures in the range
of 101ºC–134ºC (215ºF - 273ºF), especially used in programs 8–10.
F – 0 = 0 (unable)
F – 1 = total heating time + total cycle time + cooling time.
F – 2 = compensate the difference between heating time, cooling time and exhaust.
Calculates using factor 1.5 of the total accumulated heating and cooling time and
converts that into the equivalent sterilization time.
Temp F – 0 = determines the temperature at which F – 0 calculations should begin.

Program 1, 2, 3 for Un-wrapped goods 134º (process Sample)
This program is intended for un-wrapped rigid items, for example instruments and other
goods, which their manufacturer declares their compliance to be sterilized in the
following conditions:
♦ Sterilization temperature 134ºC
♦ Sterilization time 3 minutes
Performance Description:
Residual air is displaced by 1 vacuum pulse down to 40 kPa followed by 2 vacuum
pulses down to 25 kPa. Each vacuum pulse is followed by a steam pulses up to 160
kPa. The 3rd pressure pulse is followed by the introduction of saturated (controlled)
steam into the chamber to the required sterilization temperature.
Sterilization is controlled in a way that the sterilization temperature will not drop below
the required temperature nor increase by more than 3 ºC. The steam conditions are
controlled in such a way that the fluctuation of pressure does not allow a drop below 1
kPa, nor an increase over 3 kPa, above the high limit of the Ste. Temperature.
Fast exhaust is performed by rapidly discharging the pressure from the chamber. The
vacuum pump is activated until the pressure drops to 25 kPa.
Pressure equilibrium enables the opening of the door. Air is introduced into the
chamber through a microbiological filter until equilibrium is reached with atmospheric
pressure.
Note:
The pressure must be below 115 kPa to enable the door to be opened.
Caution!
Care should be taken to preserve the sterility of un-wrapped instruments
in a non-sterile environment.

manufacturers declares their compliance to be sterilized in the following conditions:
♦ Sterilization time 15 minutes (30 minutes for program 10)
♦ Slow discharge of the pressure.
Residual air is displaced by 1 vacuum pulse (down to 40 kPa). The vacuum pulse is
followed by the introduction of saturated (controlled) steam into the chamber to the
required sterilization temperature.
Sterilization period is controlled in a way that the sterilization temperature will not drop
below the required temperature, neither will it increase by more than 3 ºC. The saturated
steam conditions are controlled in such a way that the fluctuation of pressure does not
allow a drop below 1 kPa, nor an increase of 3 kPa above the high limit of the Ste.
Temperature.
Slow exhaust is performed by discharging the pressure very slowly from the chamber.
Pressure equilibration enables the opening of the door. Air is introduced into the
pressure.
Note:
The temperature of the chamber must be below the end sterilization temperature
in the range of 60ºC - 100ºC, and the pressure must be below 115 kPa to enable
the door to be opened.
Important:
Because of the difficulty to standardize the liquid cycle load, this cycle is not
intended for sterilization of materials that come into contact with patients, and
should be used for non-clinical applications only.

7. PREPARATION BEFORE STERILIZATION
Instruments to be sterilized must be clean, free from any residual matter, such as
debris, blood, pads or any other material. Such substances may cause damage to
the contents being sterilized and to the sterilizer.
1. Wash instruments immediately after use, to dispose of any residue.

2. Before placing an instrument into the sterilizer, make sure that the instruments
which are not of the same metal (stainless steel, carbon steel, etc.) are
separated.
Note:
Check manufacturers' instructions for sterilization of each item.
3. In case of carbon steel instruments are used with stainless steel trays, the tray
should be lined with a towel or paper wrap before placing the instrument.
There should be no direct contact between the carbon steel and the stainless
steel trays.
4. All instruments must be sterilized in an open position.
5. Place a sterilization indicator strip in each tray.
6. Once a week use a biological spore test indicator in any load to ensure
sterilization.
7. Make sure that all the instruments remain apart during the sterilization cycle.
8. Empty canisters should be placed upside-down in order to prevent
accumulation of water.
9. Do not overload sterilizer trays. Overloading will cause inadequate sterilization
and drying.
10. Allow a distance of approximately 1 inch between trays to permit circulation of
steam.
11. Wrapped instruments should be packed in material which promotes drying,
such as autoclave bag, autoclave paper and muslin towels.
Attention:
Verify that the packaging method is in accordance with good practice approach
and the packaging materials are in accordance with the applicable standards (e.g.
EN868 series).
Page 53 of 99 pages
The following is recommended:
Tubing
Rinse tubing after cleaning with pyrogen free water. When placing in tray, ensure that
both ends are open, without sharp bends or twists.
Packs
Place packs upright on trays, side by side.
Packs should not touch the chamber walls.
Sterilization in slow discharge of the pressure
Use only heat-proof glass, filled 2/3 full.
Ensure that the glass container is covered but not sealed to prevent pressure build-up.
7.1 Loading
Every machine is supplied either with two (or more) stainless steel shelves, or with rails
for loading a loading cart from transfer carriage.
The transfer carriage is made of stainless steel and comes with adjustable legs to
balance the height of the loading cart to rails in the sterilizer chamber. The cart is
designed to slide smoothly off the carriage into the sterilization chamber.
The carriage moves on four heavy-duty castors, which are mounted on its base. The two
castors on the rear of the carriage are equipped with brakes. When the transfer carriage
is put in position for loading or un-loading the cart from the autoclave, the brakes must
be applied.
Caution!
It is strictly forbidden to load or unload the loading cart, if the transfer carriage
wheels brakes are not applied.
When loading the materials to be sterilized into the chamber, observe the rules
described in this chapter.
Do not overload the cart or the shelves as this can have adverse effects on the results of
the sterilization and drying. Leave space between the packs or wrapped instruments to
allow complete removal of air pockets in the air removal stage, and for free penetration
of steam in the heating and sterilization stages.
Transfer Carriage Loading Cart
Page 54 of 99 pages
7.2 Un-loading
1. When the buzzer signals the successful completion of a cycle, open the door
and let the load cool down for several minutes.
2. Maneuver the Transfer Carriage into position to line up the rails with the rails of
the autoclave, lock the two locking wheels.
3. Remove the loading cart (or the containers) onto the Transfer Carriage and
place aside to cool down.
4. Allow the load to cool down in an area with minimum passing traffic (to avoid
the possibility of touching the hot load), and without air movement (air
conditioning, etc.). Do not touch the hot load. Hot loads absorb moisture and
may absorb bacteria from the hand.
5. Do not transfer a hot load to metal shelves for cooling. Perform a visual
inspection to ascertain that sterilizing indicators have made the required color
change, and that the load is dry.
The load is to be rejected if:

a. The package has been compressed.
b. The package is torn.
c. The load is wet (water droplets signs).
d. The load fell on the floor.
e. Condense can be observed on the lid.
f. The PCD or other indicator present – Faulty cycle.

9.5 Calibration
The programming of the calibration procedure is almost identical for both temperature
and pressure. Calibration is performed digitally.
The temperature and pressure measuring circuits are designed with components having
a 1% precision. The temperature circuit is linear and has an output of 100mV-2400mV
for a temperature range of 20ºC-150ºC (68ºF-302ºF).
The pressure circuit is also linear and has an output of 100mV-2400mV for a pressure
range of 0-400 kPa. (0 -58 psi).
The measuring at the A/D is void for values higher than 2400mV or lower than 100mV.
Even though the precision of the components of the circuit is 1%, the acceptable
deviation can reach ± 5%, therefore calibration is necessary.
The system has a non-erasable memory in which the OFFSET and GAIN data of the
sensors are stored. This data may be inserted into the system, through either
programming or directly through the autoclave.

a INPUT FROM SENSOR
The calibration method enables the insertion of this data into the system in order to
perform the automatic correction of the OFFSET and GAIN.
Before calibrating it is recommended to find two points that have to be inserted into the
system (temperature or pressure).

9.5.1 Calibrating Temperature and Pressure
Return to the ST.BY screen and select the OPTION command key.
The word CALIB is displayed above the middle command key. Press the middle key and
the same screen for entering the SETUP code will appear.
Enter the correct code via the digital key; the system begins displaying the calibration
options.
Note:
1. If the code is not entered within 15 seconds, the display returns to the
ST. BY screen.
2. If the code is incorrect it will return to the ST.BY screen
3. In all screens following the code entry screen, the middle command key
is CLEAR and the right key is ENTER. Pressing on either of these keys
opens up the next screen.
4. The values in all the following screens can only be changed via the
UP/DN keys. When the correct value is displayed, press ENTER and
the system will progress to the next screen.
Once the entry code has been entered, the following screens appear:
Temp 1:
Temperature of sensor 1
This screen requires a code. Press the UP key once to enter the code value ØØ1 and
press ENTER.
A screen displaying 4 Temp values appears:
A 140 (100) R 140 (100)
A 226 (130) R 226 (130)
Press the right button (F3) to scroll through the different values, which may be changed
using the UP/DN keys only.
After F3 is pressed, when it is on the last value, the next screen will appear.
Press the middle button (F2) to read the value of the sensor.
Press STOP to discontinue a cycle.
Page 70 of 99 pages
Temp 2:

Refer to Temp1 for instructions.
Temp 3 (Option):
Temp 4 (Option):
Temp 5 (Drain)

This screen requires a code to be entered.
Press the UP key once, to enter the value ØØ1 and press ENTER.
This provides the screen giving 4 pressure values:
A 14.5 (100) R 14.5 (100)
A 43.5 (300) R 43.5 (300)
Press the right button F3 to access different values that may be changed using the
UP/DN keys only.
After F3 is pressed when it is on the last value, it moves to the next screen.
Press the middle button F2 to read the value of the sensor.
Press STOP to discontinue a cycle.
Jkt Pres:
Jacket Pressure.
Refer to Chm Prs for instructions.
Gen Pres:
Generator Pressure.
D1 Pres:
Pressure in Gasket1.
D2 Pres: (Option) N/A

Pressure in Gasket 2.
After Enter is pressed, the calibration options are concluded and the display returns to
the ST.BY screen.
This calibration method enables the technician to change a certain point without
affecting a second point.
There are two working temperatures 273 ºF and 250 ºF (134ºC - 121ºC):
When checking chamber TC for 273 ºF (134ºC) it shows 270 ºF (132ºC)
When checking chamber TC for 250 ºF (121ºC) it shows 250 ºF (121ºC)
The temp for 273 ºF (134ºC) needs correction without changing the accurate Temp of
250 ºF (121ºC)
Page 71 of 99 pages
The data should be set as follows:
Upper Row A 250 (121) R 250 (121)
A 270 (132) R 273 (134)
The system calibrates the new Offset and Gain and loads them into the non-erasable
memory.
As a result, while running a 273 ºF (134ºC), program the correction is automatically
made, while at 250 ºF (121ºC) there is no change.
9.5.2 An Example of Temperature Calibration:
Sensor no. 1 reads – 140°F (60ºC) and the actual temperature is 149°F (65ºC) (in the
lower range), and in the upper range reads 130ºC (266°F) and the actual temperature is
275°F (135ºC).
In order to calibrate and to change the values do the following:

1. Press OPTION (F2).
2. Press CALIBRATION (F2).
3. The system will ask an entering code, enter the code.
4. Temperature 1 is displayed. To change temp 1, enter the code and
press ENTER – (F3); several numbers will appear on screen. On the
left side of the uppermost row, a cursor appears which enables the user
to change temperatures.
5. Insert the actual temperature that was measured 149°F (65ºC) and
press ENTER (F3); the cursor will point to the Read temperature – R.
(upper right) Insert the read temperature, which was measured in the
autoclave 140°F (60ºC), and press ENTER. The cursor will point to the
actual –the lower left number.
6. Insert the actual temperature that was measured 275°F (135ºC) and
press ENTER (F3), the cursor will point to the Read temperature – R
(lower right). Insert the read temperature, which was measured in the
autoclave (130ºC), and press ENTER. Pressing ENTER will bring you
to the calibration of temperature 2. – If you want to calibrate
temperature 2 repeat all calibration steps, if not, press ENTER until the
main screen is displayed.

9.6 Testing the Safety Valves
Attention!
Make sure that the test is performed while the door is closed.
Testing the Jacket Safety Valve
1 Short circuit the terminal on electric valve 91 to open the valve for the test.
2 Mark the position of the pressure regulator adjustment knob.
3 Turn the adjustment knob one turn in the pressure increase direction.
4 Operate the autoclave and verify that the pressure increases.
5 Verify that the safety valve blows in the range of 2.8–3.0 bar (40–44psi).
6 If the safety valve did not blow at the pre-set pressure stop the operation of the
autoclave, decrease the pressure to atmospheric pressure and replace the
safety valve with a new one.
7 If the safety valve was replaced, repeat step 1—5 to test the new one.
8 Remove the short circuit to return the electric valve 91 to normal operation.
9 Readjust the pressure regulator to the original position. Use the marking as
mentioned above in step 1.
Page 73 of 99 pages
9.7 Replacing the Door Gasket
Warning!
Before replacing the gasket, verify that the autoclave is cold; that the power is
turned off; and, that there is no pressure in the jacket and in the chamber.
1. Remove the damaged gasket.

2. Check the new gasket and verify that it is not damaged.
3. Verify that the gasket groove is clean.
4. Begin inserting the gasket into the groove by pressing it into the middle of the
upper part of the groove. Verify that the point of the glued end (1) (the part of
the silicon tube where the two ends meet) is placed in the middle of the upper
groove.
5. Insert the gasket into the groove in the middle of each side (2) (top, bottom, left
and right) and in each corner.
6. Continue to insert the gasket into the groove in the middle of each loose part,
i.e. between two inserted points (3) & (4).
The final adjustment of the gasket will be done automatically at the first "closing door."

or modem port number to remotely connection.
In 'Baudrate' text box type the PCS Target platform Baudrate. Usually the value is:
19200.
'Wait loop' is a communication time error counter. To fix communication problems with
remote targets via modem, try to insert greater value.
In the 'Address' text box, insert the PCS Target address.
Page 87 of 99 pages
Modem Configurations
To connect to the remote target via a modem, select 'Active' check box in 'Modem
Config' frame.
'Connection Timeout' is the waiting time in seconds to request data from the PCS target
platform. If no data is retrieved from the target after the waiting time, the program
generates a communication time error.
'Dial Time Out' is a waiting time in seconds to be used by the local modem trying to
connect to the remote modem. After this time has elapsed, the program generates a
timeout error.
'Phone Number' is the phone number dialed to a specific destination.
Download Setting Configuration
If 'Get and set Gain Offset' are checked, when the program downloads, all gain and
offset values will be stored before PCS code downloading, and restored after
downloading is completed.
If 'Get and Set Parameters' are checked, when the program downloads, all parameters
will be stored before PCS code downloading and restored after downloading is
completed.
Note:
The program stores parameters only in these conditions:
• CAT Technologies ADMC Program Installed on PC.
• The Downloaded file (DWN) has the same name as one of the ADMC type
files (for example if downloaded file name is: LabTN2.DWN, the ADMC file is
compatible, because ADMC type files: LabTN2.mdb exists).
Note:
Only current selected Program (For example: 1-Instruments) parameters will be
saved and restored.
Note:
Because the PCS target platform parameters saving process are complex,
restoring Parameters task takes long time (few minutes)!
Note:
There is no need to edit options every time that the program starts running. The
program saves the settings by pressing the 'OK' button and starts up with the
last settings.
