    3.11 Water Quality 3.11.1 Water for Steam Generation The distilled or mineral – free water supplied to the autoclave should have the physical characteristics and maximum acceptable level of contaminants indicated in the table below: Physical Characteristics and Maximum acceptable contaminants levels in steam for sterilizers (According to EN 13060:2004).

  • Page 18: Safety Features

    3.11.3 Reverse Osmosis A Reverse Osmosis (RO) system may be used to improve the quality of the water used to generate steam in the autoclave chamber. In RO, the water is forced through a semi-penetrable membrane, which filters out contaminants to a high degree of efficiency. In deionisation (DI) ions and charged particles are removed either by electric fields or by ion exchange in resin beds.
