4.1 Door Safety System
The door system is automatic and based on a screw -type locking

device. The device consists of a turning screw and a nut, while the
screw is making the connection by means of trapezoidal thread.
The closing device prevents an incidental opening of the door if
there is pressure inside the chamber. To do so, a pressure switch is
assembled inside the unit, which opens a mechanical contact, so
the motor's power supply gets cut if there is any pressure inside the
vessel. The trapezoidal thread is constructed in a way that it is self -
closing, so it cannot release from any types of tearing. The opening
of the door can be done electrically only, in case of power fail, the
user can’t open it without a special opening tool.
The door system includes:
Mechanical locking (a nut which can rotate slightly between at
an angle and a screw)
Self-closing trapezoidal thread
Micro switch which indicates that the door is in closed position
Micro switch which starts the motor run
Do not force to open the door – force will only damage the
autoclave and can cause loss of guarantee!
Explanation:
First the door triggers the pin near the upper hinge, which starts the
motor to operate just before the nut reaches the screw. In the next
step, the operator must press the close door icon on the screen. The
motor starts to pull the door in, until the door closed micro switch is
actuated by the pin that is on the front panel by the screws upper
side. When steam is introduced inside the vessel, the pressure switch
gets actuated and thus releases a normally closed connected serial
to the motors power supply, so the electricity is cut from the motor.
Since the threads are designed to be self-closing, there cannot be
torn from any force nor from the pressure.
The motor is only operable if the vessel has atmospheric pressure
(see para. 5.4- Setting Atmospheric pressure parameter).

5 Installation
5.1 Mounting
After unpacking the autoclave, check that the Serial Number (S/N) on
its nameplate corresponds with the package number.
The device must be placed on a rigid and leveled surface.

The stand must be able to hold the load of the device and
loaded material (Max 100 kg).The surface size should hold the
device legs (see item 10 in Fig. 4 and item 3 in Fig. 5), namely
min. 50 x 50 cm.
The rear legs of the autoclave are set lower to give the
chamber an inclination of 2 ° towards the back, to ensure that
water is completely drained out from chamber through the
opening on the bottom on the back of the chamber .
Keep space around the Autoclave, at least 10 cm at the

back and 15 cm in both sides.
Maintain distance of minimum 40 cm for the top of the

Autoclave to allow the operator to fulfill the Mineral Free
Water Reservoir.
Keep distance of minimum 40 cm for the front of the

Autoclave to let the operator open the door at least 90°
radius.

6 Preparation before Sterilization
6.1 Loading and unloading the Device
6.1.1 Safety
Protective equipment and 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 re fer to the
manufacturer instructions for sterilization of unknown materials or
instruments.
6.1.2 Loading
Correct loading of the autoclave is essential for successful
sterilization for several reasons. Efficient air removal from the
chamber and the load will permit total 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. Fo r detailed loading
instructions (see para. 6.2 Preparation of Instruments).
6.1.3 Unloading
On completion of the cycle, the load shall be removed from the
sterilizer and a visual inspection shall be made to assure that the
load is dry, and that sterilizing indicators have made the required
color change.
28
6.2 Preparation of Instruments
The Manufacturer's recommendations concerning the

sterilization of each type of material/item shall be taken into
consideration.
Clean and rinse instruments to dispose any residue, using

appropriate cleaning machines such as an ultrasonic cleaner,
washer, etc. (Follow manufacturer's instructions on the use of
products for cleaning and lubricating instruments after using the
ultrasonic cleaner).
Use materials for inner wraps which are compatible with the
item being packed and with the selected sterilization method
(autoclaveable in 121ºC / 134ºC).
Do not mix between instruments which are not of the same
metal (such as stainless steel, carbon steel, etc.). Make sure to
separate and place on different trays.
Check manufacturer's instructions for the sterilization of each
item.
In case of unwrapped material, place a towel or a paper wrap
on the trays, under the instruments, to prevent corrosion.
Open all instruments and disassemble if possible before
sterilization. Place instruments with ratchets opened and
unlocked or clipped on the first ratchet position.
Empty canisters should be placed upside-down, in order to
prevent accumulation of condensed water.
Use single-use wraps once only and discard after use.
Keep distance between instruments on the tray (Do not
overload the trays and do not pack in layers!).
Allow some distance between trays to permit steam circulation.
Our recommendation is to use indicators in any load to make
sure sterilization is performed.
29
6.2.1 Packs
Place packs upright on trays, side by side.

Packs should not touch the chamber walls.
Pack instrument sets in a manner that prevents damage to
delicate items.
Pack hollowware sets so that all the openings face the same
direction and so that the contents cannot move inside the
pack.
Load packs of folded operating room drapes with layers
vertically, allowing air to be removed from the packs rapidly.
Do not place packs of hollowware and trays of instruments
above textile packs or soft goods in order to avoid wetting
caused by condensation from items above.
Load items packed in flexible packaging materials on the edge
with paper to laminate, or flat with paper surface downwards.
6.2.2 Tubing
When placing in a tray, Make sure that both ends are open,
without sharp bends or twists.
Fig. 12 - Placing instruments on trays (illustration)
30
6.2.3 Wrapped Instruments
Wrapped instruments should be packed in material that

promotes drying such as autoclave bag, autoclave paper,
and muslin towels.
The pouch rack (see picture above) allows the operator to
place pouches on their side, thus increasing the capacity of
the autoclave significantly and promoting better drying of
the instruments. Contact your dealer for details.
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). We recommend to use plastic-plastic or plastic-
paper pouches.

9.6 Cycles Descriptions
The autoclave offers 9 different cycles: 6 sterilization cycles, 2 test
Cycles and 1 dry only cycle.
Note: Cycles No. 5 and 7 is not applicable for medical clinics and
will not be described.
The sterility of instruments processed in unwrapped cycles cannot

be maintained if exposed to non-sterile environment.
ATTENTION!
The unit is equipped with an automatic flushing system. After every
50 cycles (factory preset value), the machine will go into a special
cycle, called "FLUSH". During this cycle, the water is removed from
the steam generator with the help of the steam pressure (a specific
sound is heard). This will remove the remaining particles or
contaminants from the steam generator, allowing the unit to wo rk
under equal conditions, in the sense of the quality of the steam
and, consequently, of the sterilization.
During flushing, no other cycle can be started! The machine

will display "Flush" on the main screen. When the cycle ends, the
waste water shall be removed from the machine. For machines with
a permanent connection to the drain this will take place
automatically.

Vacuum is produced in the chamber for a preset pressure. When
the pressure in the chamber reaches P1, the vacuum pump
stops (P1 is the lowest level that can be reached in this test).
A test is done 5 minutes later, at this time P2 -P1 should be less
than 8.5 kPa.
A second test is done after 10 min.: P3 -P2 must be less than 1.3
kPa (13mBar) to ensure a leakage rate of less than 1.3mBar/min.
P2 – P1 < 8.5 kPa

P3 – P2 < 1.3 kPa
t2 = 5 min
t3 =10 min
Before starting a vacuum test, that the door gasket and chamber
are completely dry. There MUSTN’T be any water drops between
the lip of the gasket and the dome. The lip MUSTN’T be glued to
the dome’s flange!
The chamber MUSTN’T contain any tray or tray holder or material
within!
Should the above precautions not be implemented, the vacuum
test is likely to fail!
