1.6 RESIDUAL RISKS
FOR THE USER
›Contamination due to improper handling of the load.
›Burn by contact with hot surfaces or fluids.
FOR THE PATIENT
›Contamination due to unsterilized material caused by incorrect cleaning treatment before sterilization.
›Contamination due to implementation of incorrect reprocessing procedures.
›Contamination due to material unsuitable for sterilization or not compliant with instructions for use.
›Contamination due to unsterilized material caused by incorrect final assessment of sterilization process.
›Contamination due to missing or incorrect scheduled maintenance.
›Contamination due to missing periodic validation.
1.7 INFORMATION ON MITIGATION OF RESIDUAL RISKS
FOR THE USER
Contamination due to improper handling of the load.
See chapter PREPARING THE MATERIAL.
Burn by contact with hot surfaces or fluids.
To extract the sterile material, once the sterilization process has been completed with saturated steam at
121°C / 250°F or 132°C / 270°F, proceed as follows:
›Always wear PPE suitable for the handling of hot material and gloves of appropriate material and
thickness.
›Clean your gloved hands with a germicide detergent.
›Always use the special tray extractor, supplied as standard, to extract the trays from the sterilization
chamber.
›Avoid any contact of trays and material with contaminated and/or non-heat-resistant surfaces.
›Handle the sterile material making sure not to damage any packages, bags and containers serving as a
barrier.
FOR THE PATIENT
Contamination due to unsterilized material caused by incorrect cleaning treatment
before sterilization.
See chapter TREATING THE MATERIAL BEFORE STERILIZATION.
Contamination due to implementation of incorrect reprocessing procedures.
Make sure to use sterile material.
Contamination due to material unsuitable to sterilization or not compliant with
instructions for use.
›Check that the contaminated material is compatible with the selected sterilization process.

4
›Immediately separate the materials to be sterilized from those that must not be subjected to such
process or are not able to withstand it.
Contamination due to unsterilized material caused by incorrect final assessment of
sterilization process.
The sterilization process electronic control system monitors the various phases, at the same time checking that
the various parameters are respected; if any type of anomaly is encountered during the cycle, the program is
immediately interrupted, generating an alarm identified by a code, with a relative message explaining the nature
of the problem.
Furthermore, the sterilization process can be checked by means of:
CHEMICAL INDICATORS
That monitor the sterilization process by providing information, together with the control of physical and
biological parameters, on the conditions occurred in the sterilization chamber during the process.
The final toning of the process indicator does not certify that the product is sterile but only that the device has
been subjected to a sterilization process. If the toning does not occur, the operator in charge of releasing the
sterile material, that must not be used, must put all actions to avoid the use of the treated material.
PHYSICAL INDICATORS
They include the reading of machine data and the execution of specific tests indicated during the validation
phase for that specific cycle/load/autoclave. This control system can include:
›Direct reading of the synoptic system (thermometer, pressure gauge, recorder, etc.).
›Reading of prints/labels/files on which the data detected by the synoptic system are stored (parameters).
›Execution of specific tests (Vacuum test, Bowie Dick test) according to local guidelines.
The operator in charge of the process certifies the validity of the load at the end of every cycle by means of the
parametric release.
Contamination due to missing or incorrect scheduled maintenance.
The sterilizer, based on a preset programming, displays a warning message relating to the scheduled
maintenance necessary to ensure the good operation of the device.
Contamination due to missing periodic validation.
See chapter PERIODIC STERILIZER VALIDATION.

1.8 NETWORK AND DATA SECURITY
The BRAVO Sterilizer includes an Ethernet connection and a Wi-Fi module that allows the sterilizer to connect
to the local network and to useful services, including device troubleshooting and firmware updates.
The WiFi module supports IEEE 802.11 b,g,n with WEP, WPA, WPA2-PSK encryption standard in the 2.4 Ghz
range.
Since the security of the connection depends on the configuration of the wireless infrastructure (router or
access point), securing your Wi-Fi® connections is an important element of securing your data.
For maximum security, ensure your network is configured for WPA2 protection.
Avoid placing devices connected to your network in unsupervised public accessible places.
When using USB keys to download cycle data, check that the data has been copied in a supervised disk and
that regular backup plans are executed.
Tips on securing a new network
›Change the default network name (SSID) when installing new access points, routers, and gateways
›Change the administrative credentials (username and password) that control settings of your Access
Point / Router / Gateway
›Enable WPA2 Personal (aka WPA2-PSK) with AES encryption on all client devices
›Create a network passphrase that meets recommended guidelines
›Check a firewall is enabled and correctly configured
Checking securing of an existing network
›If your network is configured for an older generation of security (WEP or WPA) consider moving to WPA2
as soon as possible.
›Select an effective network passphrase. In general, increasing length, complexity and randomness all
improve the quality of a passphrase.
A passphrase should not contain a word found in a dictionary and should not include personal
information (identification number, name, address, etc).
›Periodically changing the passphrase on your network also increases security.
›Check proper handling of user accesses and logging on your infrastructure (PCs, devices, etc).
›Check a firewall is enabled and correctly configured.

3.8 EXAMPLE OF WORKING CYCLE
The sterilization program can be effectively described as a succession of phases, each one with a very precise
objective.
For example, a B CYCLE program: after loading the material in the chamber, closing the door, selecting the
program and starting the cycle (after locking the door opening mechanism), the following sequence will occur
(see the graph below):
1. Steam generator and sterilization chamber pre-heating.
2. Air removal and steam penetration in the material through a series of vacuum (extraction of air and fluid
from the sterilization chamber) and pressure (injection of steam into the chamber) phases.
3. Pressure rises with the consequent increase in the temperature of the steam, until reaching the
conditions required for sterilization (in the example, 132° C / 269.6° F).
4. Pressure and temperature stabilization.
5. Load sterilization for the required time (in the example, 4 minutes).
6. Sterilization chamber depressurization.
7. Vacuum drying phase.
8. Load ventilation, by means of sterile air.
9. Pressure levelling, bringing the sterilization chamber back to the atmospheric pressure level.
Having reached this last phase, you can unlock the door and remove the load from the sterilization chamber.
It should be emphasized that phases 1, 3, 4, 6 and 9 are identical in all cycles, with slight variations of duration
that are solely dependent on the quantity and consistency of the load and the heating conditions of the
sterilizer while phases 2, 5, 7 and 8 clearly vary their configuration and/or duration on the basis of the cycle
selected (and, as a consequence, the type of load) and the choices made by the user.
Please refer to the Programs Appendix for more details on programs.

4. SETTING UP THE DEVICE
The safety of every system which integrates the device is the responsibility of the system assembler.
The first and essential step for a proper operation of the sterilizer, its durability over time and complete use of
its features, is a correct and careful commissioning. Moreover, this precaution will avoid the danger of physical
injury or property damage, not to mention malfunctions and damage to the device.
Please meticulously follow the instructions contained hereafter in this chapter.
Technical Service department (see appendix) is available for further information.
The sterilizer is placed on the market only after having passed all the checks required. It does not require any additional
calibration for commissioning.
