    1. Generals 1.1 Introduction Models LABSCI 11LV ELV/ELVC/ELVPVBH are vertical sterilizers designed especially for sterilization of instruments, liquids and other materials in hospital laboratories, laboratories & research institutes, food laboratories and pharmaceutical facilities. The sterilizer is fully automatic with a choice of ten programs (including two custom programs), eliminating any need for operator intervention during a cycle.

  • Page 6: Available Optional Configurations

    Only technical personnel having proper qualifications, holding technical documentation and adequate test instrumentation, are authorized to undertake repair or service. 1.2 Available optional configurations ELV is the basic model of the vertical laboratory autoclave. A special feature of the C models is the fast cooling stage for liquids. In this stage pressure in the chamber is increased by means of compressed air to compensate the fast decreasing of pressure due to the fast cooling.

  • Page 7: Incoming Inspection

    2. Safety Instructions The autoclave has unique characteristics. Please read and understand the operation instructions before first operation of the autoclave. The following issues may require instructions guidance provided by the manufacturer: how to operate the autoclave, the door safety mechanism, the dangers involved in circumventing safety means, how to ensure that the door is closed, and how to select a correct sterilization program.
  • Page 10 On closing the autoclave's door, make sure it is properly locked before activating. Before withdrawing baskets, wear heat resistant gloves. Before opening the door, verify that there is no pressure in the chamber (chamber pressure gauge is located on the autoclave's front panel or door, depends on model).

  • Page 72: Preparation Before Sterilization

    9. Preparation before Sterilization The purpose of packaging and wrapping of items for sterilization is to provide an effective barrier against sources of potential contamination in order to maintain sterility and to permit aseptic removal of the contents of the pack. Packaging and wrapping materials should permit the removal of air from the pack, penetration of the sterilizing water vapor into the pack and removal of the sterilizing vapor.

  • Page 73: Liquids

    Disassemble or sufficiently loosen multiple-part instruments prior to packaging to permit the sterilizing agent to come into contact with all parts of the instrument. Tilt on edge items prone to entrap air and moisture, e.g. hollowware, so that only minimal resistance to removal of air, the passage of steam and condensate will be met.
