Saniclave Front-Loading Series
TROUBLESHOOTING CONTINUED...
Error Conditions and Display Readings
Note: If a failure occurs, the load must be considered non-sterile. The sterilizer and load
should then be investigated. Contact Revolutionary Science if problem persists.
1. Manual Cycle Abort: If 'START' is pressed, display will read 'Err 1' for cycle
abort. User may abort the cycle anytime during preheat, sterilize, or dry phases.
If the cycle is aborted, the contents of the load shall be considered non-sterile.
Press SET to acknowledge the error.
2. Preheat Too Long (Door Ajar): If door is not closed properly and the cycle is
initiated, the cycle will fail when the autoclave cannot pressurize. The display will
read 'Err 2.' Press SET to acknowledge the error then take off the door. Remove
the door seal and inspect the door seal for cracks; replace with a new seal if
necessary. Reinstall the seal into door and properly close the door by lining up the
marking on the door with the marking on the autoclave body and twist the door
clockwise to close. Restart the cycle.
3. Over Temperature Alarm: If the internal temperature exceeds a maximum of
124 °C the display will read 'Err 3.' Allow the unit to fully drain the chamber into
the exhaust tank or sink. Press SET to acknowledge the error. Open the door
when the chamber has cooled and remove the load from chamber. Refill the
chamber with distilled water and reinsert the load, then close the door and restart
the cycle. If an over temperature condition occurs again, contact Revolutionary
Science to investigate the problem further and discontinue use until problem is
resolved.
4. Under Temperature Alarm: If the temperature or pressure of the chamber
falls below 121 °C during the sterilization cycle, the digital display will read 'Err 4.'
Press SET to acknowledge the error. After the chamber has cooled open the door,
remove the load from the chamber, refill the chamber with distilled water, reinsert
the load, close the door, and restart the cycle. If an under-temperature condition
occurs again please contact Revolutionary Science to investigate further and
discontinue use until the problem is resolved.
5. Low Water: The display will read 'Err 5' if there is an insufficient amount of
water in the chamber. Press SET to acknowledge the error, fill the chamber up to
the temperature sensing probe, and restart the cycle.
6. Exhaust tank full: After a few cycles, the Saniclave display will flash 'drn tank
full.' If the end of the drain tube is already resting in a sink or bucket and water
is drained after each cycle then press any button to clear the warning. However,
if the drain tube has been blocked by pinching, plugging, etc. because a sink or
bucket was not readily available for drainage during sterilization then the exhaust
tank has accumulated water during cycles. At this point, the exhaust tank must
be emptied by unblocking the drain tube and allowing water to drain from the
exhaust tank into a sink or other receptacle. If the exhaust tank is not drained
water may overflow during the draining phase.
