• Medical Device Directive (MDD) 93/42/EEC.

• EN 285, Large Steam Sterilisers.

• Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) 97/23/EC.

• ASME Code, Section VIII, Division 1 for unfired pressure vessels. The pressure vessel is so stamped; ASME Form U-1 is furnished. Shell and door are constructed to withstand working pressure of 3.1 bar (45 psig).

FEATURES

660 x 950 mm (26 x 37-1/2") Chamber Cross-section or 660 x 660 mm (26 x 26") Chamber Cross-section sized to allow for efficient, high-volume processing of sterilisation con-tainers, trays and packs.

Vertical-sliding Door is controlled from control panel push buttons. The door slides open, propelled by a cable and pulley driven by an electric motor. Double door configurations are supplied with controls at both ends of the steriliser to help prevent the possibility of cross-contamination.

Resistive Thermal Detectors (RTD) are installed for steriliser temperature control. The dual element chamber drain line RTD senses and controls temperature variations within the steriliser chamber. A jacket RTD provides temperature control within the jacket space. These RTD signals, converted into electrical impulses, provide accurate control inputs and readouts throughout entire cycle.

Electronic water saving control includes an RTD to control the amount of water used in condensing the exhausted cham-ber steam and condensate.

Software calibration is performed in the Service Mode, acces-sible through the touch screen displays, and accomplished

using external or internal temperature and pressure sources. Control system provides printed record of all calibration data for verification to current readings.

Two-piece insulation sleeve is fitted around exterior of the steriliser vessel. The sleeve is sealed and held in place by hook-and-loop closures. Insulation is asbestos-free and chloride-free, silicone impregnated, oil- and water-resistant fiberglass.

Two-stage vacuum pump is supplied on all units to effectively pull chamber to specified vacuum levels, reduce cycle time by shortening conditioning and exhaust times; as well as reduce water consumption.

Pneumatic valves are fitted in piping for steam, water, and exhaust control.

Stainless-steel piping is used on all all chamber steam supply piping and is joined by sanitary fitting assemblies. Principle piping components and the primary control assembly are mounted to a separate, modular support rack (plumbing skid). The plumbing skid connects during installation to core chamber and frame assembly, allowing for increased access for service and maintenance procedures when necessary.

PROCESSING CYCLES

All processing cycles factory programmed into the steriliser control have been validated to EN 285.

NOTE: Any cycle created through changes to factory-set values requires validation by the facility or an independent authorized person before use. Refer to ISO EN 17665-1 for guidelines.

Prevacuum configuration sterilisers are factory programmed with the following cycles: 134°C (273°F) or 121°C (250°F) prevacuum cycles. Prevacuum cycles feature vacuum pulses followed by pressure pulses for porous load cycles. Prevac-uum cycles are intended for efficient, high-volume processing of heat- and moisture-stable materials, such as fabrics and wrapped hard goods. This process incorporates a series of vacuum/pressure pulses to condition the load prior to sterilisa-tion.

• Bowie-Dick Test Cycle: This cycle is used for conducting Bowie-Dick tests. Recommended load is a properly pre-pared Bowie-Dick test pack. Preprogrammed cycle param-eters cannot be adjusted by the user.

» Sterilise temperature: 134°C (273°F)

» Sterilise time: 3 minutes and 30 seconds

» Dry time: 1 minute

CONTROL SYSTEM

Design Features

The control system monitors and controls all steriliser opera-tions and functions. The control system is factory-programmed with standard sterilising cycles. Each cycle is adjustable to

meet specific processing requirements. All operator-accessi-ble control functions can be changed using the touch screen control.

IMPORTANT: If factory-programmed cycle values are changed, it is the responsibility of the healthcare facility to validate the efficacy of the changed cycle. Refer to ISO EN 17665-1 for guidelines.

Cycle values and operating features may be adjusted and verified prior to cycle operation. Cycle parameters are retained in control memory for repeated use.

Once cycle is started, cycles and cycle values cannot be changed until cycle is complete. If chamber temperature drops below set point during the exposure phase, the timer is set to stop and automatically reset once normal operating tempera-ture is reached.

Critical control system components are housed within a sealed compartment to protect the components from moisture and heat generated during the sterilisation process.

Operator interface control panel, consisting of a touch screen, is located on the operating (i.e., load or non-sterile) end of the steriliser.

• The operator interface consists of a touch-sensitive, color screen. This display allows for control communications, graphics, and excellent visibility in most environments. The display panel, in conjunction with the control, is used as the monitor for the operator. All steriliser functions, including cycle initiation and cycle configuration, are operated by pressing the touch-sensitive areas on the display. Display indicates appropriate control buttons, operator prompts, and status messages necessary to assist in steriliser oper-ation. All displayed messages are complete phrases with no codes to be cross-referenced. Display also indicates any abnormal conditions that may exist either in or out of a cycle. Control buffer memory retains up to ten previously-run cycles for later access.

24-Character ink-on-paper printer, located above touch screen, provides an easy-to-read printed record of all pertinent cycle data on 57 mm (2-1/4") wide paper. Data is automatically printed at the beginning and end of each cycle and at transition points during the cycle.Three paper tape rolls and two printer ribbons are furnished with each unit.

Non-operating end (NOE) control panel, on double-door sterilisers only, includes a touch sensitive screen similar to the operating end screen. Preprogrammed cycles can be started from the NOE control panel. Display concurrently shows the same information as the operating end screen display. Other controls located at the non-operating end include door control pushbuttons, jacket and chamber gauges and an emergency-stop button.

Cycle configuration is performed by accessing the Change Values menu through the operating end touch screen. In addition to adjustment of cycle values, the following operating parameters can also be changed through the Change Values menu:• Time display and printout units 24-hour or AM/PM.

• Audible signals, end-of-cycle signals, and alarm signals are available through the control and display panel.

• Temperature display and printout units Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (°F). Temperature is set, displayed, controlled, and printed to the nearest 0.1°. Recalibration is not required when changing temperature units.

• Pressure/vacuum display and printout units bar or psig/InHg. Recalibration is not required when changing pressure units.

SAFETY FEATURES

Emergency stop button located on the front panel, below the steriliser control touch pad. When pressed, immediately shuts off all outputs on the steriliser. A key is used to reset the switch. Control lockout switch equipped on chamber door(s), senses when door seal is energized and tight against the door. Control prevents cycle from starting until the limit switch signal is received. If control loses appropriate signal during cycle, alarm activates, cycle aborts, and chamber safely vents with a controlled exhaust.Chamber float switch activates alarm, aborts cycle, and safely vents chamber with a controlled exhaust if excessive condensate is detected in the vessel chamber.Pressure relief valve limits the amount of pressure buildup so that the rated pressure in the vessel is not exceeded. The steriliser is provided with two relief valves, one for the steam jacket and one for the chamber. Power door safety feature causes door drive to slip if the sliding door encounters an obstruction during its movement.

CONSTRUCTION

Shell Assembly

Two fabricated Type 316L stainless-steel shells, welded one within the other, form the steriliser vessel. Type 316L stainless-steel end frame(s) is welded to door end. On single door units, back of chamber is fitted with welded, 316L stainless-steel dished head.

Steriliser vessel is ASME and PED rated at 3.1 bar (45 psig) and insulated. Vessel includes one 1"-NPT chamber port for customer use.

Steam-supply opening inside the chamber is shielded by a stainless-steel baffle.

Chamber Door(s)Door is constructed of Type 316L stainless steel.

During cycle operation, door is sealed by a steam-activated door seal. Door seal is constructed of a special long-life rubber compound. When sterilise cycle is complete, the seal retracts under vacuum into a machined groove in the steriliser's end frame.

A proximity switch is used by the control to determine if door is closed. An additional seal pressure switch prevents inad-vertent cycle initiation if door is not sealed.

The door assembly is equipped with a mechanical locking mechanism that ensures the door cannot be opened as long as the seal is intact and energized and more than 0.14 bar (2 psig) pressure is in the chamber.

The steriliser door is fitted with a stainless-steel panel that insulates the operator from the chamber end frame, reducing the chance of accidental contact with a hot metal surface.

Chamber Drain System

Drain system is designed to prevent pollutants from entering into the water-supply system and steriliser.

The automatic condensing system, consisting of a heat exchanger, converts chamber steam to condensate and dis-poses condensate to waste. Cooling water flow is regulated by the waste line RTD to minimize water usage. Water supply shutoff valve is located in the recessed area of the unit.

Vacuum System

Two-stage vacuum pump reduces chamber pressure during prevacuum and post-drying phases. Air is drawn from the chamber through the vacuum system. Following the dry phase, chamber vacuum is relieved to atmospheric pressure by admit-ting air through a bacteria-retentive filter.

Steam Source

Sterilisers are piped, valved, and trapped to receive building-supplied steam delivered at 3.5 to 5.6 bar (50 to 80 psig) dynamic. Standard steam piping is constructed of stainless steel and includes a shutoff valve, steam strainer, and a pressure regulator. An optional, stand-alone electric steam generator is also available.

Piping

All piping is located on a modular plumbing rack (skid). All steam to chamber connections are stainless-steel, sanitary type fittings. Plumbing skid can be located on either side of the steriliser.

MOUNTING ARRANGEMENT

Sterilisers are arranged for either freestanding or recessed installation, as specified. Each steriliser is height-adjustable. Steriliser subframe is equipped with a synthetic rubber gasket to ensure tight fit between the cabinet panels on freestanding units or between the front cabinet panel and wall partition on recessed units.

On freestanding units, stainless-steel side panels and a lou-vered top panel enclose the steriliser body and piping.

ACCESSORIES

Material Handling Accessories include stainless-steel cham-ber tracks and stainless-steel loading cars with painted-steel or stainless-steel carriages. Stainless-steel chamber rack and shelf are available for 914 mm (36") and 991 mm (39") sterilis-ers, only. See separate product literature for details.

Optional Integral Steam Generator is constructed of 316L stainless steel. The steam generator is equipped with three main heating elements (adn one spare heatine element). Gen-erator is operated by steriliser control system. (Refer to ENGI-NEERING DATA / UTILITIES on page 6 for ultilities specifica-tions.)

Loading Car and Transfer Carriage

Typical only – details may vary

Application

For loading and unloading 660 x 660 mm (26 x 26”) or 660 x 950 mm (26 x 37.5") sterilizers, and for transferring goods to and from processing areas. This equipment allows heavy loads to be transferred with low effort. Equipment design minimizes contact between operator and hot load items.

The need for protective gloves or clothing is reduced, as little or no direct contact occurs between operator and load. One or more loading transfer carriages can be used for handling loads with multiple sterilizers and load preparation areas.

IMPORTANT: This tech data sheet is intended for use outside the U.S.A. only.

Description

Loading car is a welded framework constructed of stainless steel.

Shelves – each loading car is provided with either two or three stainless-steel shelves. Shelf arrangement depends on size of sterilizer:

• 660 x 660 mm sterilizer loading cars feature two shelves: one height-adjustable, removable shelf (upper) and one fixed-height shelf (lower);

• 660 x 950 mm sterilizer loading cars feature three shelves: two height-adjustable, removable shelves (upper and middle) and one fixed-height shelf (lower).

No tools are required for adjusting shelf heights.

Transfer carriage is constructed of welded stainless steel with four swiveling casters. Casters are equipped with long-wear-ing synthetic-material tires. Rear casters are provided with a locking mechanism. Transfer carriage is height-adjustable to align with sterilizer chamber. Transfer carriage is equipped with a hand wheel for purposes of lowering or raising guide rails under loading car in sterilizer chamber.

During loading and unloading, transfer carriage is held to the sterilizer by a floor-level docking interface that releases trans-fer carriage after car is fully loaded (lowered) into chamber (unloading process is similar). Loading car is aligned upon the transfer carriage by two guide rails.

Transfer carriage is available constructed from acrylic-coated mild steel for use at the sterilizer’s clean side, or is also available constructed from brushed stainless steel for use at the sterilizer’s sterile side.
