DESCRIPTION

A microcomputer-controlled automatic steam sterilizer with six preprogrammed cycles that are operator selectable. The cycles employ either pre-vacuum conditioning by a series of pressure/vacuum pulses or gravity (downward displacement) with positive pulsing conditioning. Both processes dynamically remove air. All cycles are microprocessor controlled and pre-set at the factory. Times and temperatures are adjustable. There are up to 12 cycles, 6 of which are configurable by our service representative during installation. Custom names, up to eight characters in length, can be designated for each configured cycle. All cycle phases are sequenced and monitored by the control system, providing both audible and visual notification of deviation from certain operating parameters.    For general-purpose pre-vacuum or gravity steam sterilization of hospital supplies, the temperature range is from 230°F to 275°F (110°C to 135°C). The temperature range for liquid cycles is from 219°F to 275°F (104°C to 135°C). Typical applications include wrapped and unwrapped hard goods, gowns or towel packs and liquids in self-venting or unsealed containers. The liquid exhaust is microcomputer controlled for linear and consistent liquid cool-down rate, which is programmable.
