Storing The Sterile Material; Distilled Water In Accordance With Standard En 13060; Opening The Door Without Electricity; Quaz Viewer' User Manual - ACTEON QUAZ 17 l Manual De Uso

- To ensure that the steam penetrates into the bag properly and that the load
dries properly, do not place the bags on top of each other on the tray and
keep them as far away as possible from each other.
- Do not overload the tray; spread the load out onto the trays with no more
than 1 kg (17 l.) or 1,2 kg (24 l.) on each tray.
- To facilitate the circulation of the steam, do not use bags that protrude over
the edges of the trays or that touch the trays above or the sides of the
chamber.
- Pack the instruments in bags one by one. If a few instruments are packed
together make sure that they are made out of the same material and that
when they are placed on the tray they are not on top of each other.
9.1.3 STERILISATION
The QUAZ autoclave performs the sterilisation process automatically. During the sterilisa-
tion cycle the microprocessor analyses the data collected by the temperature and pressure
sensors to check that they comply with the requirements established by standard EN
13060:2004+A2:2010, and they cancel the sterilisation cycle if they detect any anomalies.
After the cycle has finished and taking the analysed data into account, the result of the
cycle will be displayed on the screen as 'CYCLE SATISFACTORY' or 'CYCLE NON-SATISFAC-
TORY'. The load inside the autoclave will only be able to be considered sterile is the cycle
is satisfactory.
- Follow all the recommendations described in this manual for a correct use
and maintenance of the QUAZ autoclave.
- Before the sterilisation process make sure that the instruments tolerate the
selected sterilisation cycle.
- Before removing the load from the sterilisation chamber, make sure that the
cycle is satisfactory.
- Different standards of control and validation of sterilisation processes reco
mend the use of control devices to check the result of the process. These
devices include:
- Chemical indicators
- Spore test
- Bowie & Dick test
- Helix test (on hollow loads type A)
The frequency and use of these devices as methods to check the sterilisation
process is normally established by the manufacturers of each device, although
they may also follow legal regulations in each country.
9.1.4 STORING THE STERILE MATERIALS
- Remember that the expiry date of the sterile material depends on the
wrapping, check its state before storing and using.
- Use trays to move the sterile load to avoid damaging the wrapping.
- Store the sterile material in a place without direct light, at room
temperature. Avoid damp or dusty places.
- Store the material organised by expiry date to avoid having to handle them
more than necessary.

IMPORTANT:
The use of water to generate steam with contaminants that reach levels above the
levels in this table can shorten the life of the machine and invalidate the manufactu-
rer's warranty.

9.3. OPENING THE DOOR WITHOUT ELECTRICITY

When the sterilisation chamber has instruments inside, the door is closed and the autoclave
does not have power supply to open the door, the following procedure can be carried out:
WARNING:
Wait at least 15 minutes for the pressure inside the sterilisation chamber to be the
same as the atmospheric pressure and the temperature has dropped.
Remember that if the sterilisation cycle has not finished the load cannot be considered
sterile.
1.- Introduce the instrument to open the door (supplied with the autoclave as a standard
accessory) in the front hole on the door until it fits properly.
2.- Turn the instrument clockwise approx 25 turns.
3.- Then the latch on the door will unlock and it can be opened.

9.4 'QUAZ VIEWER' USER MANUAL
