5 Introduction
This autoclave is an automatic vacuum steam sterilizer. The autoclave can perform all kinds of cycles known as class
B, class S, and class N autoclaves. The autoclave sterilizes liquids in bottles, hollow bodies of type A and B, porous
materials, textiles, double wrapped, single wrapped, and unpacked solid instruments. In material testing mode, the
cycles can be performed fully automatically without user interaction. The autoclave has a 7” touch interface and a digital
built-in front panel LCD screen; four independent temperature sensors, a flexible media temperature sensor, a high
precision pressure sensor, a vacuum pump made-in-Germany, safety valves, an electrical locker, safety switches, and
two independent microcontrollers ensure the safe operation and automatic monitoring of the autoclave. The autoclave
detects errors automatically. If an error has occurred, the autoclave cuts off power automatically and ensures the safety
of the operator.
5.1 Use range of the autoclave
Sterilization:
This autoclave can be used in laboratory practices for the sterilization of liquids, textiles, double wrapped instruments,

15
Please ensure that the table of installation is strong enough for an autoclave including water and
load weight.
13. Plug in the power cable to the back of the autoclave. Note: Please check if the power input specification on the
nameplate of the autoclave fits the power source specification. Ensure proper grounding. Check if the fuses on
the rear of the autoclave are switched to the upper position. Turn on the autoclave base unit.
14. Connect the COM 4 RS232 cable with the RS232 port on the back of the autoclave.
15. Turn on the touch screen.
16. If the login screen appears after a few seconds, the touchscreen has been connected correctly.
17. If a connection error message appears on the touchscreen, the touchscreen is not able to connect to the
autoclave. Please check to see if the touchscreen has been connected correctly with the COM 4”cable. If the
problem still remains, please perform a factory reset on the touchscreen. Navigate to Settings -> Device->Factory
Reset and confirm the warning dialog.

7.3.4 Connection of the R/O System
Follow the instructions of the user manual of the CertoClav R/O System.
7.4 Atmospheric pressure adjustment
Because every place of installation has a bit different level of atmospheric pressure, the user shall adjust the atmospheric
pressure before first use of the autoclave.
Adjustment method:
1. Power on the autoclave and touchscreen.
2. Open the door of the autoclave.
3. Navigate to Settings->Calibration.

Instruction Manual CertoClav Connect 07.11.2017 Version 4
17
Enter an offset for the pressure sensor in [kPa] so that the blue front panel LCD screen shows a pressure of 0 kPa. For
example: If the blue front LCD screen shows a pressure of +5 kPa, then enter a value of -4 kPa into the offset field.
Press the Apply button to save the parameters permanently.
The autoclave might not run if the user does not adjust its atmospheric pressure before first use..
7.5 Validation and calibration
All the sensors of the autoclave were validated on the date of manufacture. For calibration purposes, the autoclave has
a G1/4 calibration port on the chamber. If calibration in the place of installation is required, please contact your
distributor, or directly [e-mail] to get a detailed service manual with instructions for the validation and
calibration of the internal sensors.

•The 121℃programs and 134℃programs have no difference in sterilization results. If the instruments cannot be
sterilized in 134 ℃, please choose the 121℃program. The program parameters: the number of pre-vacuum-times,
sterilizing time, sterilizing temperature, sterilizing pressure, and drying time can be adjusted.
•The 121°C Solid and 134°C Solid programs can only sterilize solid instruments which are not wrapped. For
example, cleaning pistols, bottles, peelings, pliers, and forceps. The program parameters: the number of pre-
vacuum-times, sterilizing time, sterilizing temperature, sterilizing pressure, and drying time can be adjusted.
•The 121°C Porous and 134°C Porous programs can sterilize materials that are made of porous material. The
program parameters: the number of pre-vacuum-times, sterilizing time, sterilizing temperature, sterilizing pressure,
and drying time can be adjusted.
•The 121°C Hollow and 134°C Hollow programs can sterilize the hollow bodies of types A and B according to EN
ISO 13060. The program parameters: the number of pre-vacuum-times, sterilizing time, sterilizing temperature,
sterilizing pressure, and drying time can be adjusted.

Instruction Manual CertoClav Connect 07.11.2017 Version 4

•For the User-Defined program, the program parameters are: the number of pre-vacuum-times, sterilizing time,
sterilizing temperature, sterilizing pressure, and drying time can be adjusted. The User Defined program can’t be
used for liquid sterilization with a media temperature sensor.
•The B&D Test (Bowie-Dick Test) is a test to measure the performance of the pre-vacuum of medical class b steam
sterilizers. The test simulates a load of 7 kg tightly bundled textiles. Please check the color indicator of a B&D test
indicator for B&D validation. The B&D test program must also be used for the Helix test. For the Helix test, a process
challenge device (PCD) must be used for validation.
•The Vacuum Test is an air leakage test. The vacuum test must be started after installation and maintenance.
Regularly performing the vacuum test is recommended.
•The Clean program is for cleaning the autoclave and loads. If the autoclave shows “Need Clean” on the front LCD
panel, then run the Clean program. The Clean program can be used to clean loads.
•Prion program: This program is to sterilize prion contaminated materials, rubbish, and instruments.
•Liquid program: The sterilization of liquids, filled in open bottles. It’s recommended to place the flexible media
sensor into one reference bottle with liquid. Only in this case, can a proper sterilization of liquids be guaranteed
and stored into the protocol. Please fill the bottles only half-full to avoid the risk of scalding during removal of the
bottles after sterilization.
The Bowie-Dick Test is not to be considered a biological performance test. It is intended only to
forewarn the user that the air removal system has deteriorated during performance and should
be corrected before sterilization problems occur as indicated by a biological indicator failure.
Please don’t put sealed bottles, bags or containers in the autoclave. They can explode because of
too much pressure.
It is recommended to do a vacuum test every month. If the result is FAIL, do not use the autoclave
anymore and call your local distributor, or [e-mail] directly.

10.2 Refilling water (Stand-alone)
If the LCD shows “Please fill water”, the water inside of the autoclave is not enough to start a new sterilization cycle. It
is required to fill it with water before starting a new sterilization cycle. If the LCD shows the message “Please fill water”
during a sterilization cycle, it is not required to stop the current sterilization cycle because the water inside of the
autoclave is still enough for the current cycle. But to start the next cycle, it’s required to firstly refill the water. To refill
the water, open the water tank lid on top of the autoclave and fill with distilled or de-ionized water only. See picture
above.
While refilling water, a peep sound notifies the user that the minimum amount of water to start the next cycle has been
reached. The user can stop or continue filling the water. Please be careful not to overfill the clean water container. If
the water tank has been overfilled, it is possible to drain the water from the quick-connect drain connector on the front
of the autoclave.
Only distilled water can be used for this autoclave. Otherwise, there will be a problem with the
steam generator and solenoid valves. The user shall be responsible for the problem if he/she uses
other kinds of water.
Before filling the water, please turn on the autoclave and ensure the autoclave is horizontal. After
filling the water, if possible, please drain the waste water.
Only fill demineralized or distilled water in the fresh water tank. A water quality sensor
continuously monitors the water quality of the filled water. A warning notification appears on the
integrated LCD screen if the quality of the filled water isn’t good enough.
