Additional Operations.
Steam Penetration Test.
The "Steam penetration test" should be performed on a
daily basis to confirm that the unit is operating correctly.
A Bowie Dick Test Pack or a Test Helix MUST be
used with this test (available from Prestige Medical).
The Pack or Helix should be placed on an instrument
tray in the middle of the chamber towards the front.
Albert Brown Test Helix
Run the P3 for the steam penetration test.
Following this test, the Test Pack or Helix TST should
change to a uniform purple colour. If the TST is not a
uniform purple colour check the door gasket and vessel.
Repeat the test.
If the test fails again seek technical assistance.
Vacuum system leak test.
The "vacuum system leak test" checks the integrity of the
vacuum system. NB. A printer MUST be fitted.
The test MUST be undertaken when the unit is cold
and dry (before any other cycle has been run).
Set the autoclave in "Standby Mode" by pressing ready
button (A). The LED next to button (A) will illuminate.
Press and hold button (G) for 6 seconds. The display
(L1) will begin to count down. Hold button (G) until the
countdown reaches zero. The test will then start.
During the test, the segments of the cycle status graphic
(S6) will flash. The test will take been 15 to 30 minutes. On
completion the print out will advise if the unit has passed or
failed the test.
Bowie Dick Test Pack
If a fail occurs clean the gasket and the chamber rim before
repeating the test. If the unit repeatedly fails contact Prestige
Medical or your dealer.
Auto-cycle start.
The unit can be programmed to enable any cycle to be
started at any time of the day when the unit is unattended.
This option is recommended particularly when the
operator performs "Air leak detection test".
• Set the autoclave in "Standby Mode" by pressing ready
button (A). The LED next to button (A) will illuminate.
• Press and hold button (D) for 6 seconds and release.
The time display (L1) will flash with the default time of
06.30 being displayed.
• Press (F) to accept. If another time is required for the
auto-cycle start, change minutes then
hours; by pressing button (D) up and (E) down.
Accept by pressing button (F).
• The unit returns to "Ready Mode" and the LED to the
left of the clock symbol continues to flash.
• Select the required sterilizing cycle using buttons (G),
(H).
• Press the start button (B). The door LED (C) and the
start LED (B) both flash. The clock symbol LED is still
flashing.
• The selected cycle will start when the programmed
start time is reached. The clock symbol LED flashes
until the cycle is completed.
• To abort a timed cycle (before the cycle starts) press
the "Standby button" (A).
Note:
If the unit is used in a very cold environment, water
vapour may be seen coming from the cooling fan.
This is normal and will only last a few minutes.
