SETTING UP THE DEVICE The safety of every system which integrates the device is responsibility of the system assembler. The first and essential step for a proper operation of the sterilizer, its durability over time and complete use of its features is a correct and careful commissioning.
4.2. COMPARTMENT DIMENSIONS FOR BUILT-IN INSTALLATION When installing the sterilizer inside a cabinet, you must provide adequate space all around the device to provide effective ventilation as well as an opening in the back (180 sq.cm) that, in addition to allowing the passage of the power cord, will also provide an adequate air flow and the consequent optimum cooling of the heat exchanger.
4.5. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS The sterilizer must be connected to a socket of the electric system having adequate capacity for the absorption of the device and properly earthed, in accordance with laws and/or regulations in force. The socket must be properly protected through magneto-thermal and differential circuit breakers having the following characteristics: •...
FIRST START-UP The time required to start the sterilizer is approximately 30 seconds. 5.1. STARTING Once the sterilizer has correctly been installed, turn it on with the main switch on the right-hand side of the machine. Do not turn on the sterilizer if USB key is inserted.

10. INSTRUCTIONS Select INSTRUCTIONS to access the instructions and video tutorials for the user. Press on the video of your interest to show the selected tutorial on the sterilizer display. 11. SERVICE This menu is intended for the technical service department. It can be used only by an authorised technician.
12. PREPARATION OF THE MATERIAL Always use personal protective equipment. First of all, it should be recalled that, when handling and managing contaminated material, it is a good idea to take the following precautions: • Wear rubber gloves of suitable thickness and the specific protective mask on your face; •...
12.2. ARRANGING THE LOAD Always use personal protective equipment. To get the best effectiveness of the sterilization process and preserve the material over time, increasing its useful life, follow the instructions below. General notes for the positioning on trays: • Arrange instruments made of different metals (stainless steel, hardened steel, aluminium, etc.) on different trays or anyway on trays well separated from one another.
Page 51
Notes for packed material: • Individually pack the instruments or, in case several instruments are placed inside the same bag, make sure they are made of the same metal; • Seal the case with a thermosealer or adhesive tape for autoclaves; •...
12.3. POSITIONING AND USE OF TRAY HOLDER SUPPORT Tray holder support can be used in "tray" version (5/6 compartments based on the sterilizer model). Or, if tray holder support is extracted and turned by 90°, it can be used to house special "boxes"...
13. STERILIZATION CYCLES A sterilization cycle consists of a determined number of phases. The number and duration of the phases can differ for the different cycles, based on the type of air extraction, sterilization process and drying methods: • B 134 Universal •...
When the cycle is in progress, the following screen is displayed: Press INFO to display the information on the cycle parameters and the graph. 13.1. DELAYED START The control allows accessing the start delay setting, expressed in hours. The delayed start date and time are indicated at the centre. The cycle start screen and the set delay value will be displayed when confirming Delayed start can be activated/disabled without changing the setting.
13.2. EXTRA DRYING The control allows accessing the additional drying time setting, expressed in minutes. The total drying time is indicated at the centre. The cycle start screen and the set extra drying time value will be displayed when confirming. Extra drying can be enabled/disabled without changing the setting.

Once selections have been made, save the settings with CONFIRM key. Press INFO to display the information on the cycle parameters. Press START to start the user-defined cycle.
14. MATERIAL STORAGE The sterilized material must be adequately treated and stored to maintain its sterility over time, until its use. Inadequate storage can cause rapid recontamination. 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.
15. TEST PROGRAMS To protect the safety of users and patients, a fundamental process like sterilizing medical devices should be periodically checked. The device offers the possibility of easily and automatically executing two distinct test cycles: • VACUUM TEST; • HELIX / Bowie&Dick TEST; •...
15.2. HELIX / BOWIE DICK TEST HELIX/Bowie&Dick TEST is a cycle at 134°C characterised by a sterilization phase having a special duration time (3.5 minutes); the cycle includes fractionated vacuum phases similar to those used in the sterilization cycles. Using an appropriate device, you can assess correct steam penetration into hollow loads (Helix Test). The cycle is also suitable to measure steam penetration into porous loads (Bowie &...
15.4. TEST REMINDER This function allows displaying, based on the chosen interval, a message recalling the performance of the relevant test. Set whether and when Test reminders are to be activated (Vacuum - Helix/Bowie&Dick Test- Vacuum + Helix/Bowie&Dick Test) based on the available options.

20. APPENDIX - 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. Always use personal protective equipment. For better quality of maintenance, supplement routine checks with regular periodic check-ups that can be performed by Technical Service Department (see Appendix).
20.2. SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE MESSAGES The sterilizer periodically displays warning messages relevant to "routine" maintenance operations that must be carried out in order to ensure the proper operation of the device. Press OK to confirm that the required maintenance operation has been completed. Press “REMIND”...
20.3. DESCRIPTION OF MAINTENANCE INTERVENTIONS Let’s now look at the various operations to be carried out. 20.3.1. CLEAN GASKET AND PORTHOLE To eliminate any traces of limestone, clean the gasket of the chamber and the door porthole with a clean cotton cloth soaked in a soft solution of water and vinegar (or a similar product, checking the contents on the label before using).
20.3.5. DOOR LOCK LUBRICATION Using a clean cloth, remove any residues from the bushing and the screw. Lubricate the inside of the bushing on the sterilizer door with a film of the silicon-based grease provided (as shown in the figure). Wear single-use gloves before application.
20.3.9. DEMINERALIZATION SYSTEM CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT The sterilizer is equipped with an integrated demineralisation system that performs an automatic check of the water conductivity value, including a set of signals. If conductivity exceeds 20 μS/cm, the message E008 - “FILTER NEARLY EXHAUSTED” is displayed. It is possible to carry on using the device without any further action required.
20.4. PERIODIC STERILIZER VALIDATION As happens with all devices, it is possible, and sometimes inevitable, to have a decrease in performance and the effectiveness of components along their lifespan, in a period of time dependent on its frequency of use. 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.
21. APPENDIX - GENERAL PROBLEMS If while using the device a problem or an alarm occurs, this DOES NOT mean that the device is out of order. 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 failure and then take suitable corrective actions, either autonomously or with the intervention of the Technical Service Department (see Appendix).
