Getting Started - Prestige MEDICAL 2100 Classic Serie Instrucciones De Funcionamiento

Before using the autoclave for the first time please take time to read the following pages to familiarise yourself with the operation of the unit.
We strongly recommend that all users of the autoclave are trained in its operation.
The autoclave is very easy to use. By following this simple operating sequence in conjunction with the pictures of the autoclave, it's controls,
display panel and operating symbols (page 3), you will be able to ensure your instruments are correctly sterilized every time.
1. Water
Fill the unit to the water level line on the inside of the chamber with
0.75l of distilled or de-ionised water.
DO NOT USE TAP WATER OR OVERFILL.
2. Loading
Place UNWRAPPED and WASHED instruments ONLY plus a TST Strip
into the instrument basket or cassettes, and place in the unit.
TST strips should be placed as near to the centre of the load as
possible (Available as an accessory).
3. Closing.
!
Always place the lid on the autoclave with the Depressurization Valve
(A) open. Align the lid and body (F1) and turn in a clockwise
direction ensuring the lid is completely closed (F2). Close the
Depressurization Valve (A) so it is aligned with the top handle on the
lid. Never leave in position as shown in F1.
4. Power Connection.
Attach the cable supplied to the rear of the unit and plug into an
EARTHED mains electrical socket of the CORRECT voltage. Lights:
L1 illuminates GREEN
5. Starting.
Start the sterilizing cycle by pressing button (B).
Lights: L1 illuminates GREEN
L2 illuminates ORANGE
-as the temperature rises, air will be displaced by steam
through the Air Bleed Device located in the lid, until it
closes with an audible "click", sealing the unit.
The Pressure Indicator (C) will rise indicating the unit is
now pressurised.
-Sterilizing Temperature is reached when:
Lights: L1 illuminates GREEN
L2 flashes ORANGE
L3 illuminates YELLOW

Getting Started

-Sterilizing Cycle is completed when:
The Buzzer sounds. Lights:
Note: L4 remains GREEN until a new cycle is started
or the unit is disconnected from the mains power.
6. Depressurizing.
Once the Sterilizing Cycle has been completed, the unit needs
to be depressurized and allowed to cool down before the lid
and sterilized instruments can be removed. The time taken to
reach the point at which this is safe to do so can be shortened
by Manually Depressurizing the unit.
Open the Depressurization Valve (A) by turning slowly in an anti
clockwise direction*. The Pressure Indicator (C) will drop once
the steam has been released.
* Warning: There will be a visual and audible release of steam
from the rear of the Steam Duct (H).
7. Unlocking.
Once the pressure has been released the lid may be unlocked.
Ensure the Depressurization Valve (A) is open. Remove the lid
by turning in an anti-clockwise direction (F1).
8. Unloading.
Lift off the lid, gently place upside down on a solid work
surface and leave to cool. Ensure the Depressurization Valve (A)
is in the closed position to avoid damaging it.
The unit has completed a successful cycle if the "spot" on the
TST Indicator Strip has completely changed colour from yellow
to purple.*
The basket or cassettes containing the sterilized instruments can
now be lifted out of the unit.
To avoid damage, replace the lid as described in step "3"
* Please Note: If the "spot" has not completely changed
colour, replace with a new TST strip and start a new cycle. If
the "spot" fails to change colour for a second time, do not use
the unit until it has been checked by a qualified engineer.
STERILIZATION CYCLE HAS NOT BEEN ACHIEVED.
