    Figure 4 5.8.4. STERILIZATION PROGRAMS NC 23S/32S steam sterilizers, have 5 preset programs; Universal, Quick, Sensitive Material, Prion and Flash. These programs features and loading methods is explained below. How to set preset and special programs is explained in Section 6.2.2.
  • Page 15 Universal Program: Wrapped (single wrapped or double wrapped) or unwrapped materials that are resistant up to 134°C can be loaded up to 1,8 kg textile or 5 kg tools(solid) , if resistant universal program is chosen. Quick Program: When drying is not important, 1 kg unwrapped tools(solid) materials(as metals on which water do not accumulate) that are resistant up to 134C can be loaded, if quick program is chosen.

    PRION 134°C Max.1kg Max.1kg Before starting the device, pre-heating must be activated (See Section 6.3.4.1). Pre- heating helps to heat the load and prevent condensation. Follow the instructions for loading, otherwise the efficiency of the device decreases and this situation may cause error. 5.8.5.
  • Page 17  The materials to be sterilized shall be disinfected prior to sterilization process. Do not stack instruments on tray or in basket. Overloading could compromise sterilization.  It is necessary to leave space between materials to be sterilized to allow the circulation of steam during the sterilization phase and then to facilitate drying.
  • Page 18: Textiles

    Figure 6 5.8.6.1. TEXTILES When preparing textiles for treatment in the autoclave, care must be taken that the folds in the textiles are arranged in parallel, and that the items are packed side by side. This vertical configuration ensures that channels can form between the textile folds for the air to flow out and steam to flow in.

     Place the instruments in open position and demounted so that steam can penetrate more efficiently. Figure 8 5.8.6.3. STERILIZATION BAGS Sterilization packages can be sterilized either in sterilization containers or sterilization baskets. To enable better drying,  Arrange soft sterilization packages vertically and side-by-side. This allows condensation to penetrate to the packages, while at the same time preventing possibly bursting at the seams.

    DRYING: Following the steam discharging, the pressure in the chamber is decreased below ambient pressure. Thus the humidity within the chamber is eliminated throughout the drying phase. AIR INTAKE: Following the drying phase, ambient air passing through the filter is taken into the chamber to break the vacuum and raise the chamber pressure to ambient pressure.
