  • Page 7: General Information

    GENERAL INFORMATION Introduction This autoclave is a pre-vacuum sterilizer designed to cover a large field of applications for hospitals and medical centers as well as pharmaceutical and biotechnological industries. The autoclave operates with saturated steam as the sterilizing agent, and has a temperature of up to 279ºF and pressure up to 40 psi.

  • Page 8: Standards

    3. Complies with AAMI/ANSE ST8- Hospital Steam Sterilizers. 4. Complies with Underwriters Laboratories (U.L 2601-1) requirements Tuttnauer is approved for ISO 9002 (Quality Systems), EN 46002 (Quality Systems for Medical Devices) and ISO 13488 (Quality systems for Medical devices – Particular requirements for the application of ISO 9002).

  • Page 10: Functional Description

    FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION The Steam to Steam Generator The steam for the sterilization process is supplied from the building main steam supply to a built in steam to steam generator, which produces clean steam and is directly connected to the autoclave chamber. Water to the steam generator is supplied by a single-phase pump, from a water reservoir, which is connected to a source of distilled or mineral free water.

  • Page 11: The Piping System

    The Piping System The piping system of the autoclave consists of air-operated ball valves, which control the water, condensate and steam flow in and out of the chamber, operate the vacuum pump, and the air inlet valve. The air pulses to the pneumatic valves is transmitted through solenoid pilot valves, operated at 24VDC.
  • Page 12 Vacuum to gasket valve (53); connects the gasket groove to the ejector. While the door is moving during the opening or closing - the valve is open and vacuum is produced to pull the gasket inside the groove, ensuring the smooth sliding of the door.

  • Page 13: The Pneumatic Control System

    The Pneumatic Control System The control of the pneumatic valves is done through compressed air, as described below: The pneumatic valves are air-air control type, fitted with two commands, an opening command received through solenoid valve at a pressure of 6 bars - output by the control system and a permanent closing command at a pressure of 3 bars, connected to all valves.

  • Page 15: The Water Quality

    Water Quality 2.5.1 Steam to Steam Generator The distilled or mineral – free water supplied to the steam to steam generator should have the physical characteristics and maximum acceptable level of contaminants indicated in the table below: Physical Characteristics and Maximum acceptable contaminants levels in water or steam, for steam generator (In compliance with ISO 11134 and ISO 13683).
  • Page 16 2.5.3 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.

  • Page 17: The Electric System

    The Electric System The electric system of the autoclave comprises of the power circuits, including the commands, switching and protective components, required for the operation of the electric equipment of the machine. The following parts are located in the electric box, mounted on the side of the autoclave.
