own needs.

Thanks to its remarkable ease of use, small size and pleasant appearance, it is the ideal
partner for all professional who demand the maximum sterilization safety.

GENERAL Millennium B² is a completely microprocessor-controlled steam sterilizer with a large (21-

CHARACTERISTICS liter) sterilization chamber made of stamped stainless steel.

It is characterized by an advanced fractionated vacuum system for the complete removal of

air, even from hollow, porous materials, and an effective final vacuum drying phase capable of
eliminating all traces of humidity from any load.

Its exclusive steam generation system, effective plumbing circuit and electronic management
(supplemented by high-precision sensors) guarantees high process execution speeds and
excellent thermodynamic parameter stability.
Moreover, its Process Evaluation System constantly monitors all the machine's “vital”
parameters in real-time, guaranteeing absolute safety and a perfect result.

It offers users 11 sterilization programs (of which one completely programmable), all equipped
with customizable, optimized drying for the fast, effective sterilization of the various types of
loads (instruments and materials) used in a medical environment.
Four of these can be selected directly from the control panel, which has a new simplified,
design.

And then, there are interesting options for configuring the preheating mode (based on the
sterilizer's frequency of use), printing the end of cycle report, methods for filling the water
supply, draining the used water and more.

Please refer to the chapter, “Configuration” for more detail.

Finally, Millennium B² has one of the most complete, sophisticated and advanced safety
systems available today to protect users in the case of any electrical, mechanical, thermal or
biological operating anomaly.

 3. PRODUCT INTRODUCTION

OPERATING The Millennium B² sterilization program can be described as a succession of phases, each
CYCLE EXAMPLE with a specific purpose.

For example, after loading the material in the chamber, closing the door, selecting the program
and starting the cycle (and the consequent locking of the door opening mechanism), the
standard program (for porous materials, 134 °C - 4’) offers the following sequence (see chart,
below):

1. preheating the generator and sterilization chamber;

2. removing the air and penetration of the material by steam through a series of vacuum
(extraction of the fluid from the sterilization chamber) and pressure(injection of steam into
the chamber) phases;
3. raising the pressure, with the consequent increase in the temperature of the steam, until
reaching the conditions required for sterilization (in the example, 134 °C);
4. stabilizing the pressure and temperature;
5. sterilizing for the required time (in the example, 4 minutes);
6. depressurizing the sterilization chamber;
7. vacuum-drying phase;
8. ventilating the load with sterile air;
9. bringing the pressure of the sterilization chamber back to the atmospheric level.

After reaching atmospheric pressure, the door is automatically unlocked and it can be opened
to remove the load from the sterilization chamber.

It should be emphasized that phases 1, 3, 4, 6 and 9 are identical in all cycles, with slight
variations of duration that are solely dependent on the quantity and consistency of the load
and the heating conditions of the sterilizer while phases 2, 5, 7 and 8 clearly vary their
configuration and/or duration on the basis of the cycle selected (and, as a consequence, the
type of load) and the choices made by the user.

The icons in the lower part of the LCD screen remain off with the exception of the door status
and/or water level indicators, which light-up if the door is closed and/or the level in the filling
tank reaches its MIN or MAX values (or the MAX value in the drain tank).

During the first start-up, the MIN water level icon in the filing tank is normally on.

The device waits for the selection of the desired sterilization program (see the Chapter,
“Program Selection”).

DANGER
WHEN THE DOOR IS OPEN IN STAND-BY MODE, A LONG BEEP OF
ABOUT 30 SEC. INDICATES THAT THE SURFACES INSIDE THE DEVICE
ARE HOT. TO AVOID BURNS, TAKE CARE NOT TO TOUCH THE
STERILIZATION CHAMBER, THE SUPPORTS PROVIDED OR THE INSIDE
OF THE DOOR WITH YOUR BARE HANDS.

 5. FIRST START-UP

FILLING DISTILLED The first time the sterilizer is used, and later when the MIN water level indicator comes on, you
WATER will have to fill, or top-off, the internal distilled water tank.

Manual filling With reference to the figure (and with the door open), proceed as follows:

1. Fill the manual container (2 l) with distilled water,

keeping it horizontal;
2. Connect the tube’s quick connector to the
corresponding female connector under the chamber
entrance (marked ), pushing until you hear a

click;
3. Place the container in a vertical position, at the same
time, loosening the plug and taking care not to spill
water on the machine.
4. The water will begin to flow into the tank;
5. Continue filling until the MIN level indicator turns off.
6. Continue until the water is drained from the container;
7. At this point, lower the connector below the connection point, keeping it horizontal;
8. While pinching the tube with your fingers, press the metal lever located on the side of the
connector and detach the quick connector;
9. Refill the container (2 l) and repeat the operations described in points 2, 3 and 4 a second
time;
10. When the MAX level icon comes on (accompanied by a beep), stop filling and detach the
quick connector as described in points 7 and 8.

NOTE
THE ICON MAX DOES NOT HAVE TO BE ON TO START A STERILIZATION PROGRAM. THE
ICON MIN INDICATOR OFF IS SUFFICIENT.

Automatic filling In the event of sterilizer installation for automatic filling from an external tank or demineralizer
Milldrop (see the Chapter, “Installation”), the filling will occur automatically after the automatic
filling option has been selected.
Obviously, for the correct operation, the user must fill the external tank or switch on the
Milldrop in advance.

NOTE

 7. PREPARING THE MATERIAL

PREPARING THE The sterilization process can be considered effective, reliable and repeatable so long as the
material is suitably treated first and then correctly arranged in the sterilization chamber in an
MATERIAL orderly manner.

INTRODUCTION In fact, it should be emphasized that organic residues or deposits of substances used in
medical practice are the inevitable receptacles of microorganisms and may obstruct contact
between the steam and the walls of the instrument, deactivating, at least locally, the lethal
process that sterilization normally provides.

On the other hand, an incorrect arrangement of the load can make the circulation and/or
penetration of the steam into the material difficult and sometimes impossible with the
imaginable consequences. Even the drying process can be strongly influenced by this factor.
For this reason, below we provide some basic suggestions regarding these aspects, leaving
the user to study the subject further in the most suitable way.

TREATING THE First of all, it should be recalled that, when handling and managing contaminated material, it
MATERIAL is a good idea to take the following precautions:
BEFORE – Wear rubber gloves of adequate thickness;
STERILIZATION – Clean your gloved hands with a germicide detergent;
– Always carry the instruments on a tray.
– Never carry them in your hands;
– Protect your hands from contact with any sharp points or edges; this will avoid the risk of
contracting a dangerous infection;
– Immediately remove any article that does not need to be sterilized or that is not capable of
withstanding the process;
– Carefully wash your still gloved hands when done handling non-sterile material.

All materials and/or instruments to be sterilized must be perfectly clean, without any type of
residue (deposits of organic/inorganic material, fragments of paper, cotton/gauze pads, lime,
etc.).

NOTE
IN ADDITION TO CAUSING PROBLEMS DURING STERILIZATION, THE FAILURE TO CLEAN
AND REMOVE RESIDUE CAN DAMAGE THE INSTRUMENTS AND/OR THE STERILIZER,
ITSELF.

An effective cleaning consists of the following:

1. Rinse the instruments under running water immediately after use;

2. Separate metal instruments by type of material (carbon steel, stainless steel, brass,
aluminum, chromium, etc.), to avoid electrolytic oxidation-reduction;
3. Wash in an ultrasound cleaner using a mixture of water and germicidal solution, carefully
following the manufacturer's recommendations.
4. For best results, use a detergent specifically designed for ultrasound washing, with a
neutral pH.

NOTE
SOLUTIONS CONTAINING PHENOLS OR QUATERNARY AMMONIA COMPOUNDS CAN CAUSE
CORROSION ON INSTRUMENTS AND THE METAL PARTS OF ULTRASOUND DEVICES.

5. After washing, carefully rinse the instruments and make sure that residues have been
completely eliminated; if necessary, repeat the washing cycle or clean manually.

NOTE
TO AVOID THE FORMATION OF LIME SPOTS, RINSE WITH DEIONIZED OR DISTILLED WATER,
IF POSSIBLE. WHENEVER VERY HARD TAP WATER IS USED, WE RECOMMEND ALWAYS
DRYING THE INSTRUMENTS.

35
7. PREPARING THE MATERIAL

For handles (turbines, contra-angles, etc.), supplement the above with treatment in suitable
dedicated devices that provide effective internal cleaning (occasionally including lubrication).

NOTE
THE END OF THE STERILIZATION PROGRAM, REMEMBER TO LUBRICATE THE INTERNAL
HANDLE MECHANISMS USING THE SPECIAL STERILE OIL. BY TAKING THESE
PRECAUTIONS, THE INSTRUMENTS USEFUL LIFE WILL NOT BE REDUCED IN ANY WAY

WARNING
CONSULT THE INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED BY THE MANUFACTURER OF
THE INSTRUMENT/MATERIAL TO BE STERILIZED BEFORE SUBJECTING
IT TO AUTOCLAVE TREATMENT, CHECKING FOR ANY
INCOMPATIBILITIES. SCRUPULOUSLY FOLLOW THE METHODS OF
USING DETERGENTS OR DISINFECTANTS AND THE USAGE
INSTRUCTIONS OF THE AUTOMATIC DEVICES FOR WASHING AND/OR
LUBRICATING THEM.

On the other, as regards textile material (or porous, in general), such as smocks, napkins,
caps and other, carefully wash and then dry them before treating them in the autoclave.

NOTE
DO NOT USE DETERGENTS WITH A HIGH CONTENT OF CHLORINE AND/OR PHOSPHATES.
DO NOT BLEACH WITH CHLORINE-BASED PRODUCTS. THESE SUBSTANCES CAN DAMAGE
THE TRAY SUPPORTS, TRAYS AND ANY METAL INSTRUMENTS THAT MAY BE PRESENT IN
THE STERILIZATION CHAMBER.

ARRANGING THE Follow the instructions below for the most efficient sterilization process, preserve the material
LOAD and increase its useful life.

General notes for positioning on trays.

– Arrange instruments made of different metals (stainless steel, tempered steel, aluminum,
etc.) on different trays or well separated from each other.
– In the case of instruments not made of stainless steel, place a paper sterilization napkin or
a muslin cloth between the tray and the tool, avoiding direct contact between the two
different materials;
OK

– In any case, arrange the objects sufficiently distant from each other that they will remain so
for the entire sterilization cycle;
– Make sure that all instruments are sterilized in an open position;
– Position cutting instruments, (scissors, scalpels, etc.) so they can not come into contact
with each other during sterilization; if necessary, use a cotton or gauze cloth to isolate and
protect them;
– Arrange recipients (glasses, cups, test tubes, etc.) resting on their side, or upended, so
avoid pooling water;
– Do not load trays beyond their indicated limit (see Appendix A).
– Since this value is understood to be the maximum allowed limit, it can be excessive in
OK some cases, so always use common sense.
– Do not stack trays or put them in direct contact with the walls of the sterilization chamber.
– Always use the tray support provided.
– To insert and extract trays from the sterilization chamber, always use the extractor
provided.
NOTE
PLACE A CHEMICAL STERILIZATION INDICATOR ON EVERY TRAY TO INDICATE THAT THE
PROCESS HAS OCCURRED: THIS AVOIDS USELESSLY REPROCESSING THE SAME LOAD
OR, WORSE, USING NON-STERILIZED MATERIAL. IF PROCESSING WRAPPED MATERIAL,
PLACE THE INDICATOR INSIDE ONE OF THE WRAPPINGS.

36
 7. PREPARING THE MATERIAL

Notes for rubber and plastic tubing

– Always rinse before use with pyrogen-free water; do not dry them;
OK – Arrange the tubing on the tray so that their ends are not obstructed or crushed.
– Do not bend or wind them, but allow them to lie as straight as possible.

Notes for packets and packages

– Arrange packages side-by-side, suitably spaced and absolutely not piled, to avoid their
coming in contact with the walls of the chamber.
– Whenever it is necessary to wrap particular objects, always use suitably porous material
(sterilization paper, muslin napkins, etc.), closing the wrapping with autoclave adhesive
tape.
OK

Notes for wrapped material

– Wrap instruments individually or, when more than one instrument are placed in the same
wrapping, make sure that they are made of the same metal;
– Seal the wrapping with adhesive tape for autoclaves or heat-sealing machines.
– Do not use staples, pins or other fasteners since they can compromise the maintenance of
sterility;
– Arrange the envelopes so as to avoid forming air pockets that obstruct the correct
penetration and removal of the steam.
– Orient the envelopes so as to leave the plastic side up and the paper side down (tray
side).
– In any case, check that they are correctly positioned, turning them over, if necessary.
– If possible, place the envelopes edgewise to the tray, with a suitable support.
– Never superimpose envelopes on top of each other.

WARNING
WHENEVER YOU ANTICIPATE PROLONGED STORAGE, ALWAYS WRAP
THE INSTRUMENTS. SEE THE CHAPTER, “PRESERVING STERILIZED
MATERIAL”.

8. PROGRAM SELECTION

PROGRAM Program selection is fundamental for a successful sterilization process.

SELECTION Since each instrument, or material in general, has different shape, consistency and properties,
it is important to identify the most suitable program for it, both for preserving its physical

9. RUNNING THE PROGRAM

CHECK OF THE However, it is a good practice to check that the print report issued at the end of the sterilization
CYCLE DATA program, also specifies a positive outcome.
REPORT At the end of the cycle, the salient data for the thermodynamic parameters of the sterilization,
temperature and pressure (°C and bar), and time (minutes) of the sterilization cycle, with
particular attention to the sterilization phase true and proper, is printed by simply opening the
door.
So, check the values on the print report and any additional indications for a further
confirmation of the good outcome of the sterilization process.
The operator should sign in the space provided and file the document for possible future use.
If necessary, copies of the document can be used to identify the load (or parts of it) with the
date/time of sterilization and details of the type of cycle performed.

To select the number of copies to print, consult Chapter 6, Configuring.

NOTE
WHENEVER AN ALARM IS GENERATED IN CERTAIN PHASES OF THE CYCLE, AN
AUTOMATIC PROCEDURE IS ACTIVATED TO CLEAN THE PLUMBING CIRCUIT. FOR A
COMPLETE DESCRIPTION OF THE ALARMS, SEE APPENDIX E “ALARMS”.

WARNING
AFTER A PROGRAM IS MANUALLY INTERRUPTED (MANUAL STOP)
ALWAYS CHECK THE STATUS OF THE ICON BEFORE USING THE
MATERIAL IN THE STERILIZATION CHAMBER.
IF THE ICON IS STEADY ON, THE MATERIAL IN THE STERILIZATION
CAN BE CONSIDERED STERILE AND, THUS, BE USED. WE RECOMMEND
USING IT IMMEDIATELY.

HOWEVER, IF IT IS OFF, THE MATERIAL IN THE STERILIZATION

CHAMBER CANNOT BE CONSIDERED STERILE AND ABSOLUTELY MUST
NOT BE USED.

47
10. STORING STERILIZED MATERIALS

STORING The sterilized material must be adequately treated and stored to maintain its sterility over time,
until its use.
STERILIZED
MATERIALS Inadequate storage can cause rapid recontamination.

INTRODUCTION This leads to problems regardless of what you do since you will either be using
recontaminated material (most of the time unconsciously), placing the user and patient at risk,
or you will have to run the sterilization cycle again, with an inevitable waste of time and
resources.

For this reason, we think it will be useful to provide several basic suggestions, leaving the
operator the task of further study of specific texts.

HANDLING Assuming that the sterilizer is located in a clean place, free of dust and not too damp, the
following precautions should be taken when handling and/or carrying sterile material:

1. Remove the load from the sterilization chamber wearing gloves and a clean, or even
better, sterilized smock. As an additional precaution, wear a protective mask on your face;
2. Rest the tray on a dry, suitably clean and disinfected surface. Take care to distance or, at
any rate, separate the sterile material from the area where contaminated material is kept
waiting to be sterilized;
3. Touch the material and/or instruments as little as possible, taking extreme care not to cut
or damage the wrappings;
4. Let the instruments cool before any transport (and subsequent storage). If necessary for
transport, transfer the material using dry, clean and disinfected containers. The containers
must be closed or, if open, covered with clean cloths.

STORAGE Sterile material waiting for used must be stored using the appropriate techniques. These will
significantly slow recontamination:

1. Store the material and/or instruments in the protective wrappings that were used during
sterilization. Do not wrap the instruments after sterilization since, in addition to being
useless and completely senseless, is also potentially damaging;
2. Store the material in a dry, suitably clean and disinfected place, far from the area where
infected material passes. If possible, use closed compartments equipped with ultraviolet
light;
3. Identify the sterile material by attaching the sterilization data (attaching a copy of the
printed report or an adhesive label);
4. First use the material that has been stored the longest (FIFO, "First In First Out"). This
results in material that is homogeneously stored, avoiding storing for too long, with the
consequent risks.
5. Never store material for too long. In fact, do not overlook the fact that materials will tend to
degrade and be recontaminated in a finite time, even when the above instructions are
followed.

NOTE
CONSULT THE SPECIFICATIONS PROVIDED BY THE MANUFACTURER OF THE PACKAGING
MATERIAL RELATIVE TO THE MAXIMUM ALLOWED STORAGE TIME

 11. TEST PROGRAMS

TEST PROGRAMS To protect the safety of users and patients, a fundamental process like sterilizing medical
devices should be periodically checked.
INTRODUCTION In this regard, Millennium B² offers the possibility of, simply and automatically, executing two
distinct test programs:
• HELIX/BDTest
• Vacuum Test
The HELIX/BD Test program executes a cycle at 134 °C characterized, however, by a
sterilization phase of a particular duration (3.5 min); the cycle has a fractionated vacuum
phase similar to that used in the POROUS and HOLLOW programs.
Using a suitable device, it is possible to evaluate the correct penetration of the steam inside
hollow loads (see the following paragraph).
This cycle is also suitable for measuring the penetration of the steam inside porous loads
(Bowie & Dick test pack).

On the other hand, the Vacuum Test program allows checking the perfect seal of the
sterilizer's entire plumbing system.
By measuring the variation in the degree of vacuum in a certain span of time and comparing it
with pre-set limit values, it is possible to determine the effectiveness of the seal of the
sterilization chamber, the various tubes and the cut-off devices.

HELIX/BD TEST To select the HELIX/BD Test program, press the Test Selection key one or two times until
the display reads:

H E L I X / B D T E S T

1 3 4 . 0 ° C
2 . 1 5 b a r 0 3 : 3 0

The test device is a 1.5-m tube made of PTFE with an internal diameter of 2 mm, with a small
sealed screw capsule attached to one end, capable of holding a suitable amount of chemical.
The other end of the tube is left free to allow the penetration of the steam and evaluate its
effectiveness.

To execute the test insert the chemical indicator, which consists of a strip of paper with a
special reagent ink, inside the capsule of the device (which is always to be used perfectly dry).
Tighten the capsule so that seepage through the gasket seal will not be possible.

NOTE
THE DEVICE AND CHEMICAL INDICATORS FOR RUNNING THE HELIX/BD TEST PROGRAM
ARE NOT SUPPLIED WITH THE DEVICE. TO REQUEST INFORMATION IN THIS REGARD,
CONTACT M.O.COM.'S CUSTOMER SUPPORT DEPARTMENT (SEE APPENDIX Z).

Place the device on the device's central tray, approximately in the middle. Do not put any
other material inside the chamber.
Close the door and start the program with the START key.

NOTE
IF A PASSWORD HAS BEEN SET WITH THE ANY CYCLE START OPTION (SEE THE
CHAPTER, CONFIGURATION, SETTING THE PASSWORD), YOU WILL BE ASKED TO ENTER
THE ACCESS CODE.

IN ADDITION,THE EQUIPMENT CHECKS THE PRINTER PAPER PRESENCE AND, IF

MILLFLASH IS CONNECTED, THE PRESENCE OF THE COMPACT FLASH CARD AND ITS
MEMORY CAPACITY.

THE POSSIBLE WARNING MESSAGES, AND THE CONSEQUENT ACTIONS TO CARRY OUT,
ARE THE SAME AS DESCRIBED FOR A STANDARD STERILIZATION CYCLE.

49
11. TEST PROGRAMS

The cycle phases are analogous to what is described in the Chapter, “Running a Sterilization
Program”.
At the end of the program, remove the test device, open the capsule and remove the indicator
from its housing.

If the steam has correctly penetrated, the ink will have completely changed color from what it
was before, along the entire length of the strip; if not (insufficient penetration) there will be only
a partial variation or none at all.

NOTE
NORMALLY THE COLOR CHANGE IS FROM A LIGHT COLOR (BEIGE, YELLOW, ETC.) TO A
DARK COLOR (BLUE, VIOLET OR BLACK). IN ANY CASE, SCRUPULOUSLY FOLLOW THE
INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED BY THE INDICATOR'S MANUFACTURER FOR ITS METHODS OF
USE AND INDICATION AND ANY OTHER TECHNICAL DETAILS.

The duration of the test is about 22 minutes.

As the door is opened at the end of the cycle, a report will be printed of the salient data for the
test cycle performed.
Attach the chemical indicator in the space provided, initial the document and file it in a suitable
place.

For complete details about printing summaries, please refer to the report examples shown in
Appendix B, Programs.

VACUUM TEST To select the VACUUM TEST program, press the Test Selection key one or two times until
the display reads:

V A C U U M T E S T

- 0 . 8 0 b a r

The Vacuum Test program is run with the sterilization chamber empty, and only the trays
and their supports.

NOTE
RUN THE VACUUM TEST AS THE FIRST CYCLE AFTER POWERING-ON THE EQUIPMENT.

To avoid the heating of the sterilization chamber influencing the variation of the vacuum value
measured during the Vacuum Test, the system is programmed to prevent its execution when
the temperature sensors of the sterilization chamber shows a value higher than 50° C.

If you try to start the program with a higher temperature than indicated above, the liquid crystal
display will read:

W A R N I N G !
P T 1 O V E R H E A T I N G

- 0 . 8 0 b a r

After a short time, the device will automatically return to STAND-BY mode, ready for use.

NOTE
TO RAPIDLY LOWER THE TEMPERATURE OF THE CHAMBER AND, THUS, PERFORM THE
VACUUM TEST, LEAVE THE STERILIZER'S DOOR OPEN UNTIL THE CORRECT
TEMPERATURE IS REACHED.

50
 11. TEST PROGRAMS

Close the door and start the program with the START key.

NOTE
IF A PASSWORD HAS BEEN SET WITH THE ANY CYCLE START OPTION (SEE THE
CHAPTER, CONFIGURATION, SETTING THE PASSWORD), YOU WILL BE ASKED TO ENTER
THE ACCESS CODE.

IN ADDITION, THE EQUIPMENT CHECKS THE PRINTER PAPER PRESENCE AND, IF

MILLFLASH IS CONNECTED, THE PRESENCE OF THE COMPACT FLASH CARD AND ITS
MEMORY CAPACITY.

THE POSSIBLE WARNING MESSAGES, AND THE CONSEQUENT ACTIONS TO CARRY OUT,
ARE THE SAME AS DESCRIBED FOR A STANDARD STERILIZATION CYCLE.

The vacuum phase begins immediately and the display reads:

V A C U U M T E S T
V A C U U M P U L S E

- 0 . 6 9 b a r 0 1 : 0 2

The display shows the pressure (bar), and the total time from the start of the program.

When the pre-set pressure is reached (-0.80 bar) the pump stops and the pressure
stabilization phase begins (WAITING PERIOD), which lasts 5 minutes (shown on the display
as a scalar value):

V A C U U M T E S T
W A I T I N G P E R I O D
0 5 : 0 0
- 0 . 8 0 b a r 0 1 : 4 8

During this phase, a variation of the maximum low pressure is allowed of not more than 10%,
without this causing the test to fail.

When the wait phase ends, the pressure verification phase, true and proper, begins
(LEAKAGE PERIOD), with a duration of 10 minutes:

V A C U U M T E S T
L E A K A G E P E R I O D
1 0 : 0 0
- 0 . 7 9 b a r 0 6 : 4 8

In this phase, a variation of up to ±0.02 bar is allowed, compared to the initial phase value.
Higher variations cause the test to fail.
The time is counted down until the phase is completed.

When this phase is also completed, the pressure is brought back to atmospheric pressure.

V A C U U M T E S T

The end of the program is signaled with a beep.

NOTE
IF THE PRESSURE CHANGE EXCEEDS THE PRE-SET LIMIT, THE PROGRAM IS INTERRUPTED
AND ALARM MESSAGE IS GENERATED.
SEE A COMPLETE DESCRIPTION OF THE ALARMS IN APPENDIX E .

The duration of the test is about 18 minutes.

 APPENDIX C – MAINTENANCE

APPENDIX C – MAINTENANCE
In addition to correct use, the user needs to perform ordinary maintenance in order to guarantee safe, efficient operation
over the device's entire life.

INTRODUCTION For better quality maintenance, supplement ordinary checks with regular periodic
examinations by the service department (see Appendix Z).

It is also fundamental to perform a periodic sterilizer validation, i.e., a check of the

thermodynamic parameters of the process, comparing them with the reference values
provided with suitably calibrated instruments. In this regard, see the paragraph, “Periodic
Sterilizer's Validation”, further below in this Appendix.

The ordinary maintenance described below consists in easy manual operations and preventive
interventions involving simple instruments.

WARNING
IN THE EVENT OF THE REPLACEMENT OF THE DEVICE'S COMPONENTS
OR PARTS, REQUEST AND/OR USE ORIGINAL REPLACEMENT PARTS
ONLY.

ORDINARY The table summarizes the maintenance required to keep the sterilizer operating at peak
MAINTENANCE efficiency. In the case of very intense use, we recommend shortening maintenance
intervals:
PROGRAM
Clean the gasket on the porthole
DAILY
Clean external surfaces
WEEKLY Clean the sterilization chamber and relative accessories
Disinfect external surfaces
MONTHLY Clean the internal (and external - if installed) distilled water tank
Safety valve maintenance
Clean (or replace) the drain filter
EVERY 3-6 MONTHS
(depending on Replace bacteriological filter
frequency of use)
ANNUALLY Validate sterilizer (see dedicated paragraph)

Keep the following general warnings in mind:

– Do not wash the sterilizer with direct jets of water, either under pressure or sprinkled.
Seepage into electrical and electronic components could damage the functioning of the
device or its internal parts, even irreparably;
– Do not use abrasive cloths, metal brushes (or other aggressive materials) or metal-
cleaning products, whether solids or liquids, to clean the device or sterilization chamber;
– Do not use chemical products or disinfectants to clean the sterilization chamber. In fact,
these products can damage the sterilization chamber, even irreparably;
– Do not allow lime residue or other substances to accumulate in the sterilization chamber or
on the door and its gasket, but periodically remove them. In fact, they can damage these
parts over time in addition to compromising the operation of the components installed
along the plumbing circuit.

NOTE
THE FORMATION OF WHITE SPOTS ON THE BASE OF THE INTERNAL WALLS OF THE
STERILIZATION CHAMBER MEANS THAT YOU ARE USING LOW-QUALITY DEMINERALIZED
WATER.

67
APPENDIX C – MAINTENANCE

DANGER
BEFORE PERFORMING ORDINARY MAINTENANCE, MAKE SURE THAT
THE POWER SUPPLY CORD IS REMOVED FROM THE MAINS SOCKET.

WHENEVER IT IS NOT POSSIBLE, PUT IN OFF THE EXTERNAL BREAKER

OF THE EQUIPMENT POWER SUPPLY LINE.

IF THE EXTERNAL BREAKER IS FAR AWAY OR, AT ANY RATE, NOT

VISIBLE TO THE MAINTAINER, PLACE A WORK IN PROGRESS SIGN ON
THE EXTERNAL BREAKER AFTER TURNING IT OFF.

MAINTENANCE With reference to the preceding table, let's take a summary look at the various maintenance to
DESCRIPTION be performed.

Clean gasket and To remove traces of lime, clean the gasket of the container under pressure and the porthole
porthole with a clean, cotton cloth soaked in a weak solution of water and vinegar (or similar product,
after first checking its contents on the label).
Dry the surfaces and remove any residue before using the device.

Clean external surfaces Clean all the external parts using a clean cotton cloth dampened with water and, possibly, the
addition of a neutral detergent.
Dry the surfaces and remove any residue before using the device.

Clean sterilization Clean the sterilization chamber, support and trays (and internal surfaces in general) with a
chamber and clean cotton cloth soaked in water and, possibly, the addition of a small amount of neutral
accessories detergent. Carefully rinse with distilled water, taking care not to leave any type of residue in
the chamber or on accessories.

NOTE
DO NOT USE SHARP OR POINTED INSTRUMENTS TO REMOVE LIME ENCRUSTATION FROM
THE STERILIZATION CHAMBER. WHENEVER THERE ARE VISIBLE DEPOSITS, IMMEDIATELY
CHECK THE QUALITY OF THE DISTILLED WATER USED (SEE APPENDIX A,).

Disinfect external For the occasional disinfection of the external surfaces, you can use either denatured alcohol
surfaces or detergents with a minimum percentage of sodium hypochlorite (or equivalent).

68
 APPENDIX C – MAINTENANCE

Clean internal distilled 1. Arrange an empty container on the floor near the sterilizer and put the free end of a tube
water tank into it.
2. Unscrew the plug (1) from the rear draining point and plug-in the other end of the tube.
3. Wait until the internal tank is completely drained; close the draining point with the plug.
4. Prepare 4 liter of distilled water mixed with 10% of pure alcohol and fill the supplied
standard container
5. Now fill completely the internal tank with this solution (see chapter “Filling distilled
water” for the procedure) and allow the solution to sit for 30 minutes.

WARNING

DO NOT RUN ANY CYCLE DURING THIS PERIOD.

6. Drain again the internal tank and discard the solution. Close the draining point with the
plug.

Clean external distilled 1. Disconnect the external tank from the sterilizer; eventually recover the distilled water
water tank contained in it.
2. Fill the tank with a solution of distilled water and alcohol (10%)
3. Allow the solution to sit for 30 minutes.
4. Drain the tank and discard the solution.
5. Reconnect the tank to the sterilizer.

Safety valve 1. Access the safety valve located on the rear of the machine.
maintenance 2. Loosen the knurled locking ring with your fingers (or a suitable tool inserted in the two
holes in the ring itself), turning counter-clockwise until it reaches the end and turns
loosely.
3. Retighten the locking ring and repeat the operation a couple of times.
4. Definitively tighten the locking ring all the way down.

WARNING
THIS OPERATION IS NECESSARY TO GUARANTEE THE CORRECT
FUNCTIONING OF THE VALVE OVER TIME.
AT THE END OF MAINTENANCE, MAKE SURE THAT THE LOCKING RING
IS COMPLETELY SCREWED ON AND TIGHTENED.

Clean/replace the drain

With use, various residues will probably tend to accumulate inside the filter, obstructing the
filter
lower drain tube over time.

For cleaning (or replace) the filter, open the door of the sterilizer and remove the nut (1) with a
hexagonal wrench n. 14.

Then remove the fitting (2) and the filter (3).

Remove the filter from the support and carefully clean it under a throw of running water, using
if necessary a pointed tool to remove possible material of greater dimensions.

If the filter cannot be reused, replace it with a new one.

Plug the filter in the support, block it with a drop of sealing (if available), having care to not
obstruct the holes.

Reassemble all parts following reversely the above procedure, paying attention on screwing
down the fitting (2) so as to let the draining holes (4) at level of the chamber wall.

69
APPENDIX C – MAINTENANCE

Replace bacteriological When it is due to be changed, or when you notice visible clogging of the filter (indicated by a
filter color markedly tending towards gray) unscrew the bacteriological filter from its support and
replace it with a new one by screwing it all the way down on the connector on the front of the
machine.
NOTE
A REPLACEMENT BACTERIOLOGICAL FILTER IS SUPPLIED WITH THE DEVICE. TO
REQUEST OTHERS, PLEASE REFER TO APPENDIX Z, TECHNICAL SUPPORT.

70
 APPENDIX C – MAINTENANCE

PERIODIC As happens with all equipment, it is possible, and sometimes inevitable, to have a decrease in
STERILIZER performance and the effectiveness of components along its lifespan, in a period of time
dependent on its frequency of use.
VALIDATION
To guarantee the safety of the process over time, it is periodically (possibly annually)
necessary to verify the thermodynamic process parameters (pressure and temperature), to
check if they continue to remain within allowed limits or not.
The requalification of the sterilizer's performance is the responsibility of the user of the
product.
The reference European standards EN 554 (Sterilization of the medical devices - Method for
the validation and systematic control of the steam sterilization) and EN 556 (Sterilization of the
medical devices – Requirements for the medical devices marked with “STERILE” indication)
supply an effective guide tool for carrying out the verifications on the steam sterilizers.

Since, in addition to specific experience and training, these controls require the use of special
equipment (high-precision sensors and probes, data loggers, dedicated software, etc.) suitably
verified and calibrated, it is necessary to contact a company specializing in these activities.

NOTE
THE M.O.COM. SRL CUSTOMER SUPPORT DEPARTMENT (SEE APPENDIX Z) IS
AVAILABLE TO PROVIDE ANY INFORMATION RELATIVE TO THE PERIODIC VALIDATION OF
STEAM STERILIZERS.

RECYCLING / The sterilizer is mainly built from fiber-reinforced polymers, metals and electronic components.
DISPOSAL
In case of disposal:
INSTRUCTIONS
- Separate the various components according to the materials they are made of.

- Drop the sterilizer with a company specialized on recycling these products.

- Do not abandon the sterilizer in unsecured places.

- Always refer to current/applicable laws in the country of use.

If you run into a problem or alarm while using the device, you should not be immediately concerned.
It may not, in fact, be related to a breakdown but, more probably to an anomalous situation, often merely transitory (such as
a blackout), or incorrect use.

In any case, it is important to first identify the cause of the anomaly and then take suitable corrective action, either
autonomously or with the help of the Technical Support Department (see Appendix Z).

For this purpose, below, we provide instructions for diagnosing and resolving general problems, in addition to a precise
description of the alarm codes, their meaning and their solution.

ANALYSIS AND RESOLUTION OF PROBLEMS

If your sterilizer is not working correctly, please make the following checks before calling the Technical Support Department:

 APPENDIX E – ALARMS

APPENDIX E – ALARMS

INTRODUCTION Every time an anomalous condition occurs during the operation of the sterilizer, an alarm is
generated, identified by a specific code (consisting of a letter followed by a 3-digit number).

Alarm codes are divided into three categories:

• E = ERROR
Wrong maneuver and/or use, or a cause external to the device.
A problem that can generally be fixed by the user.
Code format: Exxx (xxx = identifying number from 000 ÷ 999)

• A = ALARM
First-level fault, not linked to safety.
A problem that normally is fixed by a specialized technician on-site.
Code format: Axxx (xxx = identifying number from 000 ÷ 999)

• H = HAZARD
Second-level fault, linked to safety.
A problem generally fixed by the Technical Support Center.
Code format: Hxxx (xxx = identifying number from 000 ÷ 999)

ALARM
INTERVENTION NOTE
IN THE CASE OF AN ALARM, PLEASE ONLY REMOVE VOLTAGE FROM THE DEVICE AFTER
EXECUTING A RESET (SEE THE PARAGRAPH, “RESETTING THE SYSTEM”).

The intervention of the alarm causes the interruption of the cycle (or the normal equipment
operation) with the relative appearance of an alarm code and a message on the display,
accompanied by a beep and the lit alarm icon (intermittent).

NOTE
DURING THE ALARM PROCEDURE, THE DISPLAY ALWAYS SHOWS THE CURRENT
TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE IN THE STERILIZATION CHAMBER.

This procedure is designed so as not to allow the user to mistake an anomalous cycle for a
correctly completed cycle and, as a consequence, involuntarily using non-sterile material.

The alarm procedure is differentiated depending on whether it occurs during the execution of
the program or outside, and is structured to guide the user to the necessary RESET of the
sterilizer.

Alarm during a cycle If the alarm intervenes during a program, the display will show the message:

Alarm Message
( A l a r m M e s s a g e )
L E V E L L I N G Alarm Code
1 1 4 . 6 ° C X X X X
0 . 7 0 b a r 1 1 : 3 0

Whenever an alarm is generated in certain phases of the cycle, an automatic procedure is

activated to clean the internal water circuit. The display will contain the notice:

( A l a r m M e s s a g e )
C I R C U I T C L E A N I N G Alarm Code
1 0 0 . 6 ° C X X X X
0 . 7 0 b a r 1 1 : 4 0

75
APPENDIX E – ALARMS

At the end of what has been described and having reached safe conditions, the machine
activates a special procedure, that asks the user to manually unlock the door:

P R E S S Ç T O
U N L O C K T H E D O O R
1 0 1 . 0 ° C X X X X
0 . 0 1 b a r 1 1 : 4 0

Press the Ç key to unlock the door lock mechanism; the following message appears:

( A l a r m M e s s a g e )
O P E N T H E D O O R
1 0 0 . 8 ° C X X X X
0 . 0 1 b a r 1 1 : 4 2

Once the door is open, the user is finally asked to reset the system:

( A l a r m M e s s a g e )
R E S E T S Y S T E M
9 5 . 5 ° C X X X X
0 . 0 0 b a r 1 1 : 4 3

Perform a RESET (described below) and then turn-off the equipment and check the error or
make the repair.

NOTE
WHEN THE DOOR IS OPENED, THE REPORT (NORMAL OR EXTENDED DEPENDING ON THE
TYPE OF ALARM) WILL BE PRINTED FOR THE INTERRUPTED STERILIZATION PROGRAM
AND THE ALARM THAT INTERVENED. CHECK THE DOCUMENT, INITIAL IT IN THE SPACE
PROVIDED AND FILE IT IN A SUITABLE PLACE. REFER TO THE PRINT REPORT EXAMPLES
SHOWN IN APPENDIX B, PROGRAMS”.

Or, depending on the type of alarm:

0 . 0 0 b a r

Perform a RESET (described below) and then turn-off the device and check the alarm.

NOTE
ALARMS THAT INTERVENE OUTSIDE OF A PROGRAM DO NOT PRODUCE A PRINTED
REPORT.

RESETTING THE The system is RESET in two alternative ways, depending on the alarm that occurred (see the
SYSTEM Alarm Code List further below in this appendix):

1. Press the PROGRAM SELECTION key for about 3 seconds.

A beep confirms the RESET;

WARNING
NEVER TURN THE DEVICE OFF BEFORE EXECUTING A RESET.

>3s

2. Turn-off the device and then power-on using the main switch.
Upon power-up, the sterilizer will perform its normal initial test.

After RESET, and any technical intervention necessary to eliminate the fault, the device will go
to STAND-BY mode, ready to execute a new program.
