    General Read the Operating Instructions carefully, before beginning any operation on the autoclave! Introduction Model 5050/5075 EL-MD/EL-D is a laboratory sterilizer designed especially for the sterilization of instruments, liquids, and other materials in hospital laboratories, medical laboratories (including the medical...
  • Page 6 A special feature of the autoclave is 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. The fast cooling shortens the time required for safe handling of bottles.

    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 Before withdrawing trays, 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). Open the door slowly to allow steam to escape and wait 5 minutes before you remove the load.
