Saniclave RS-SC-200
Operating Instructions
1. Place Saniclave 200 on a dry, level surface.
2. Remove chamber door by rotating door counter clockwise.
3. Fill chamber with approximately 500mL of distilled water (until the heating
element is fully submerged and the metal portion of the temperature sensor is
in contact with the water).
ALWAYS use distilled water. The sensor detects ion content in the water.
If distilled water is too pure, the autoclave may not detect the presence of
water. Salt may be added to the water to increase detectability. Class III
distilled water is recommended.
4. Place rack in the bottom of the chamber and place instruments to be sterilized
(wrapped or unwrapped) on top of rack.
5. Inspect the door to assure that the seal is clean and not damaged. Be sure that
the inner portion of the door is also clean and clear, ensuring a secure fit.
6. If the silicone seal has been removed re-install silicone seal in the door by evenly
tucking seal under all lugs. Seal may be cleaned with warm, soapy water
(replace seal when it becomes noticeably cracked or worn).
7. Closing the door: Place the door on the chamber, aligning the marking on the
door with the "OPEN" marking on the autoclave. To close, rotate the door
clock wise, ensuring that the marking on the door is aligned with the "CLOSE"
marking on the autoclave. Never attempt to rotate the door past this
CLOSE marking! Improper closing of the door can cause pressure
leaks or damage to the autoclave.
8. Press the door in snugly and gently turn the door handle clockwise. The door
marking should be aligned with the marking on the autoclave.
9. Insert the plug of the cord into the wall outlet. NEVER modify the plug to make
it fit, as the plug will only fit in one way. Autoclave must be grounded
when in use.
10. Standby Mode: The 4-digit LED indicator will turn on and appear as "0000."
11. Press 'START/STOP' to begin the default 30 minute sterilization cycle.
12. Preheat Mode: Display will change to 'Ph' for the preheat mode (about 25
minutes).
13. Observe the display. If an error warning is displayed, the cycle will be aborted
(see troubleshooting section on page 10).
14. Sterilization Mode: After the preheat mode, the display will automatically
begin to count down from 30 minutes. For your convenience, the display will
show the temperature reading. To view the pressure or cycle time left, see
page 8
15. To abort the cycle at any time, press 'START/STOP' again. Display will then
read "Err 1" and chamber will instantly depressurize. Allow a few minutes for
the chamber to depressurize before opening the door.
16. Drain Mode: At this point, the display will read "dry" and the unit will
automatically depressurize.
Due to door locking safety feature of the silicone seal, the opening of the door
is not possible until the chamber is completely depressurized.
