AHS-Ni/12 14) Put on heat insulating gloves before removing a substance from the chamber. Do not put hands into the chamber until the steam has been vented. 15) Some time is required for liquids to cool. Be sure to check that the temperature has dropped enough before unloading a liquid from the chamber or burns can result.

AHS-Ni/12 clean carefully one’s hands, even wearing gloves, after having touched the material for sterilization Afterwards, proceed to clean carefully the material for sterilization, eliminating all type of waste. In order to make efficient the cleaning process, follow these steps: Rinse the objects under running water, immediately after they were used Putting aside the metallic objects and taking into account the composition (carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminium, brass etc.) to avoid the phenomenon of oxidation-...
AHS-Ni/12 CONDENSATE TANK FILLING Water quality Water quality supplied for feeding the autoclave should be free of contamination and should meet the following requirements of hardness and conductivity: Hardness: ≤ 0,02 mmol/l Conductivity: between 5 µS/cm (min) and 15 µS/cm (max) Various water systems can be used such as reverse osmosis, de-mineralized, decalcified and soft distilled water*.
Plug the autoclave to the mains. Press the main switch (9). At the microprocessor screen will be displayed the message: “RAYPA Sterilclav-Blue” and a few seconds later will appear a number of a program (it will always be the last program used).
Connect the autoclave to the mains, and press the main switch (9). It will become lighted on. The microprocessor screen will show the message: “RAYPA Sterilclav-Blue” during 2 seconds. When the autoclave is running for the first time, the screen will show in the first line the nº...
AHS-Ni/12 Press the key (2) “THERMOMETER” to edit the sterilization data. Pressing the key (3) “CLOCK” will be selected the time of sterilization of the parameter SOL/LIQ and AGAR, corresponding to the type of sterilization to carry out. Once the parameter to edit is set, use “Increase”...
AHS-Ni/12 ADJUSTMENT OF DATE AND HOUR Starting from the initial menu, maintain pressed during 5 seconds the key “CLOCK”, and the year will start to blink, pressing the key “PRO” again gives access to the other parameters (month, day, hour and minute). To modify any edited parameter, press keys “increase/decrease”.
AHS-Ni/12 IMPORTANT: In the case of having a printer already installed (ref. IT), you should put the selector in the corresponding option: “PC” for a computer connection and “PRINTER” for a printer connection. To use the printer (ref. IT) after the PC, remember to change the selector and to disconnect the communications cord from the PC.
AHS-Ni/12 (AGAR Temperat.ON) PURGE AND HEATING: Automatic air purge and heating phases. HEATING: Heating phases and pressure increasing. STERILIZING: Keeping the sterilization temperature during the programmed time. COOLING: Natural cooling period before the sterilization process and up to 95ºC. AGAR TEMPERAT.ON: Maintenance temperature at the end of the cycle (only AGAR mode) END OF PROCESS: Sterilization cycle ending message.
AHS-Ni/12 DO NOT OPEN THE AUTOCLAVE UNTIL THE END OF THE PROCESS AND THE MANOMETRE WILL SHOW "0". ¡CAUTION! Place the tray for collecting water below the entrante of the vessel in order to collect water that may drop while opening the door. AUTOCLAVE SHUTDOWN To stop the autoclave, put the main switch in the position 0.

AHS-Ni/12 In automatic printing mode, data concerning to temperature is suitable, step of the cycle, and also the time of every step lasted and a final inform. To set the automatic printing: 1.- Keep pressed switch “THERMOMETER” (2), during some seconds, in the screen will appear the message :”CONNECTION: PC”.
AHS-Ni/12 EXHAUST SWITCH This switch can be used to attenuate the pressure in the chamber. If for any reason or emergency you need to open the door of the autoclave, when there is still pressure in the chamber, press the exhaust switch (7) until the manometer shows 0. PROTECTED PROGRAMS (Info.) The autoclave comes from the factory with 4 standard program of sterilization, memorized in programs P0 to P3, and they are protected, that means impossibility to change them.
AHS-Ni/12 FAULT PROBE 1 The control detects that the temperature probe Pt-100 is broken. It is impossible to proceed with the sterilization. If during the sterilization the probe is broken the process stops. FAULT PROBE 2 The control detects that the probe 2 (heart probe) is broken during a sterilization process with two probes.
AHS-Ni/12 We must clean the filter carefully under a current water flow, using a sharp tool if necessary to remove bigger residues. If it is obstructed with agar, we must use hot water. If we can not recover the filter, we must replace it for a new one. To re-insert the filter, we must use a screwdriver.
AHS-Ni/12 SAFETY THERMOSTAT Sometimes, the alarm pilot-light (6) may light on: it may indicate that there is not enough water in the autoclave or that the temperature is too high. In that case, the safety thermostat will block the heating system of the autoclave and the pilot-light (6) will stay lit up. To rearm the safety thermostat and to restore the service of the autoclave, press the red button (15) until you hear a “click”.
