Specifications

Do not complete any changes (e.g. a different power supply cable)
without previously consulting the manufacture as this can ad-
versely influence the autoclave's immunity to malfunctions.

2.5 General details concerning sterilization
with high-pressure steam
WARNING: Always check whether sterilization
with high-pressure steam is suitable and which
temperature and sterilizing time is required to
determinate the given product.
Prior to each sterilization process it is necessary to check
whether the selected sterilization method is suitable to kill off
the germs. It is also necessary to establish whether the product
that is to be sterilized will withstand the sterilization conditions.
For instance, instruments with rubber or plastic parts can be
significantly damaged by a temperature of e.g. 143°C (3 bar).
The subsequent Table 5 can function as a guideline for the op-
eration of an autoclave. The specified values are purely for ori-
entation and merely relate the sterilization time to temperature
and pressure.
Table 5: Ratio between sterilization time and steam pressure and steam temperature
Sterilization time* in minutes 20 15 12 10 6 3 1
Stream pressure: bar 0,5 1,0 1,5 2,0 2,5 3,0 (4)
Stream temperature: °C 110 120 127 133 138 143 (151)
The steam temperature depends upon the steam pressure. The
temperature display is significant for sterilization, and pressure
display for the operating conditions inside the autoclave.
