Preparing the Logic Vue for Gaseous Sterilization

Note: This section only reviews the steps required for preparing the enclosure for gas
sterilization. Thoroughly understand the sterilization procedures and protocols supplied
by the manufacturer of the sterilizing system before attempting this operation.
1. Using flexible plastic sheet 5-8 mil thick and duct tape, seal the enclosure to the
floor.
2. Attach the supply and return tubing from the sterilization system to appropriate
cutouts in the flexible plastic sheet.
3. The enclosure is now prepared for gaseous decontamination.
Service Fixture Installation & Service Connection
Service fixtures are not pre-installed. If connecting a service line to a pre-installed
fixture, or installing a service fixture on the enclosure, follow these instructions. The
field install service fixture kit contains additional installation instructions.
If service fixture is already installed, proceed to Step 9. Reference Figure 11-17 for the
procedure below.
1. Remove the right or left side panel(s) based on which side the service fixture is to
be located, as described in
2. Identify the appropriate knockout plug on the enclosure (2 per side are provided
on standard models). Using a large, flat blade screwdriver and hammer, remove
the knockout by placing the screwdriver on the top or bottom of the plug, strike
the screwdriver with the hammer. Repeat alternating between the top and
bottom until the plug is loose enough to remove with pliers.
3. Using PTFE pipe thread tape on the male threads of the petcock valve, install the
coupling onto the male threads of the petcock valve. Tighten fully.
4. Apply a thin coat of silicone around the knockout opening on the OUTSIDE of the
liner wall. Apply PTFE pipe thread tape on the male threads of the coupling.
5. Insert the male threads of the coupling though the knockout opening, slide the
washer (from the OUTSIDE) over the male threads of the coupling. Install the
coupling nut hand-tight.
6. Rotate the petcock valve to position the handle as desired for user operation of
the valve. Fully tighten the coupling nut.
