Sterilizer is factory-programmed with the following applicable sterilizing cycles:
- Gravity Cycle, provided on gravity, prevacuum, and isothermal sterilizers, for the sterilization of heat- and moisture-stable goods at 100°C to 141°C (212°F to 285°F), and decontamination of bagged non bio-hazardous laboratory wastes. Gravity cycle utilizes the gravity air- displacement principle.
- Liquid Cycle, provided on gravity, prevacuum, and isothermal sterilizers, for the sterilization of liquids and media in vented borosilicate glass or metal containers at 100°C to 135°C (212°F to 275°F). Liquid cycle utilizes the optimal solution cooling feature, during exhaust (cooling) phase, to control the exhaust rate.
- Prevacuum Cycle, provided only on the prevacuum sterilizer, for efficient, high-volume sterilization of porous, heat- and moisture-stable materials at 100°C to 141°C (212°F to 285°F). Prevacuum cycle utilizes a mechanical air- evacuation system.
Breakdown of Prevacuum vs. Gravity
- Gravity - designed for sterilization of liquids in flasks with vented closures, at 250°F (121°C), and also heat- and moisture-stabile goods at 270°F (132°C).
- Prevacuum – designed for efficient, high-volume processing of heat- and moisture-stabile materials, such as fabrics, wrapped hard goods, glassware or animal bedding, at 270°F (132°C). Prevacuum units will also run gravity-type cycles.
Gravity units operate by the gravity downward displacement air-removal principle. Prevacuum sterilizers have a chamber evacuation system for high-speed, high-volume sterilization. Both types use steam-under-pressure as the sterilizing agent.
UTILITY REQUIREMENTS
Sterilizer Using “House” Steam Steam
1/2″ NPT, 50 to 80 psig (344.7 to 551.6 kPa) dynamic, 97 to 100% vapor quality.
Drain
1-1/2″ ODT drain terminal. (Floor drain capacity must handle peak water consumption; refer to engineering data.)
Electrical – Controls
120 Volt, 50/60 Hz, 1-phase, 3.0 Amps.
International:
230 Volt, 50/60 Hz, 1-Ph, 1.5 Amps.
Sterilizer Feed Water
1.0″ NPT, 30 to 50 psig (206.8 to 344.7 kPa) dynamic. Water is used for ejectors, vacuum pumps, exhaust condensers, and trap cooling. Refer to Table 1 for recommended water quality. Use of feed water within the nominal conditions will optimize equipment performance and reduce maintenance.
NOTE: Backflow prevention is not provided by STERIS unless backflow preventer option is selected.
