5.2. COMPLETING A CYCLE

Before performing a sterilisation cycle, see the recommendations given in section 9.1 of
this manual.
All sterilisation cycles can be accessed on the main menu screen.
To start a sterilisation cycle, make sure that:
- The door is closed
- None of the tank level signs are flashing
- The temperature inside the chamber is under 105ºC
- The voltage of the power supply is above the minimum limit.
Press on the icon to choose the cycle and the sterilisation cycle will begin.
134ºC 4'
134ºC 18'
121ºC 15'
The QUAZ autoclave has sensors that detect the position of the door, making sure that
it is closed at all times and preventing a sterilisation cycle from starting if it is not
completely closed.
The stages of a cycle are displayed on the screen in two different ways:
- As data, showing the stages of the cycle, the temperature, pressure and start
time of each stage. The stage that is in process will flash on the screen.
- As a cycle graph, pressure-time and temperature-time.

At the end of each cycle the screen will display information on the temperature, pressure
and time of each stage. The result of the sterilisation process is displayed and analysed,
based on the pressure, temperature and length of the cycle, to check if the process
complies with the strict requirements established by standard EN 13060:2004+A2:2010. If the
process complies with these requirements, the QUAZ autoclave will display 'cycle

satisfactory' and an 'OK' icon will appear. The user should press this icon to be able to open
the door and remove the sterile materials from the machine.
The anticondensation mode is active during 45 min after the end of the cycle if the dooris
not opened.
In case there is a problem that causes an error in any of the stages of the cycle, or if the
process does not comply with the requirements established by standard
EN 13060:2004+A2:2010 the autoclave will cancel the cycle and an error message will
appear on the screen until the user presses reset and the machine will work again.
The message 'non satisfactory cycle' will also be displayed.
In this case the materials inside the machine cannot be considered sterile.

5.3. RECORD/TRACEABILITY

All QUAZ autoclaves have a memory card where all the information on the correct and
incorrect cycles is stored. The memory card can be downloaded onto a PC to view and/or
print the cycle information.
There is also a printer, an optional accessory, which should be connected to the autoclave
as described in section 4.3.4 and prints the data record of each cycle, as well as the
summary of the information to put on labels.
Once the cycle realized, if the cycle could not be saved on the SD card, a warning message
will appear.
We advise to backup the data on the SD card to a computer at least every 50 cycles.
