9.2 Replacing the Air Filter (models EA)
To facilitate drying the instruments with the door of the chamber
closed, models EA are equipped with an air compressor and HEPA
filter (0.2µm). During the drying stage the compressor draws air
through the HEPA filter and forces the circulation of that air through
the heated chamber to remove moisture from the wrapped instruments.
The filtration of the air is performed by the bacteriological filter and
depending on the usage of the autoclave and the surrounding
environment that will determine the frequency of replacement.
The filter is mounted in an opening on the right sidewall of the
autoclave enclosure, this is to allow easy access for replacing it. (see
picture below)
To replace the filter proceed as follows:
1. Remove the securing screws and then the filter cover by turning
the cover counter-clockwise until the handle is at a vertical
position.
2. Pull out the cover with the filter attached.
3. Disconnect the flexible tube from the filter
4. Replace the filter with a new one connecting it to the flexible
tubing.
5. Reassemble the cover and lock it into position by turning it a ¼
turn.
6. Fasten the securing screws.
