aer the cycle.
2. NEVER aempt to dismantle or modify the Saniclave.
3. NEVER leave an operang Saniclave unaended.
4. NEVER block the drain (located on the inside of the chamber below
heang element).
5. NEVER block the steam trap (located on the inside of the chamber, near
the top, directly above drain).
6. NEVER operate the Saniclave with a damaged cord or plug or aer the unit
malfuncons or has been damaged in any manner.
7. NEVER use accessory aachments not recommended by Revoluonary
Science. Their use may cause re, electrical shock or injury.
8. NEVER use the Saniclave or any purpose other than the intended use.
9. ALWAYS close the door properly before operang.
10. NEVER aempt to force the door open or release pressure while sterilizer
is in operaon.
11. ALWAYS use dislled water. The sensor detects ion content in the water
If dislled water is too pure, the autoclave may not detect the presence
its presence. Salt may be added to the water to increase detectability.
Class III dislled water is recommended.
12. NEVER reuse water le in the exhaust tank. Re-used water may contain
endotoxins. Drain water tank and rell chamber with clean, dislled water
before each cycle.
13. NEVER aempt to modify the plug to t an outlet other than the required
3-slot, grounded outlet. The enclosed 3 prong plug is equipped with a
grounded type 3 conductor wire to further ensure the safe operaon of

14. NEVER immerse the autoclave, cord, or plug in water or operate on wet
surfaces.
15. NEVER ll the exhaust tank with water (See pg. 3 for locaon of
exhaust tank and cap). The Saniclave must be lled by pouring water
directly into the chamber.
16. ALWAYS load the Saniclave with instruments compable with steam
sterilizaon at 121 degrees C° for at least 30 minutes. Always contact
the instrument’s manufacturer if you are unsure that this sterilizaon
technique is suitable for instruments being sterilized.
17. ALWAYS inspect the silicone seal before each use for dirt, grime or
cracks.
18. NEVER clean the Saniclave with organic solvents like thinner or benzene
as it will damage the surfaces.

OPERATING THE SANICLAVE
PREPARATION FOR STERILIZATION (DEFAULT MODE)
Important:The load should be considered non-sterile unless the display reads
‘CC’ aer the cycle.
1. Preclean instruments according to their manufacturer’s recommendaons.
WARNING! Failure to properly clean instruments before autoclaving, may
result in unsterile equipment. Using unsterile equipment may result in serious
injury or death.
2. It is recommended that all instruments be dismantled, if possible.
CAUTION: Stacking instruments improperly may result in nonsterile
equipment.
3. Use a sterilizaon indicator strip with each set of instruments
being autoclaved.
4. The recommended load is 4.5 lb (not including the tray). Never exceed the
maximum load. Exceeding maximum load may result in nonsterile equipment.
5. Run a biological indicator spore test (Geobacillus stearothermophilus) at
least weekly to conrm proper sterilizaon. For addional informaon on
purchasing biological indicators, see pg. 17.
PRINTER INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
Saniclave: The recommended printer model is the Zebra 2844 with a serial
cable connecon. Printer paper must accommodate printout width of 4
inches. Follow printer manufacturer’s recommendaons for regular repair,
cartridge replacement and service. The printer must be powered and
connected to the Saniclave via a serial cable prior to use.
Saniclave 200P: The printer is axed on the right side of the autoclave.
The Saniclave 200P printer requires 2” wide thermal paper.
Sucient paper must be installed in the printer. At the end of the cycle
(whether it is a complete cycle or a failure), the SET buon, found on the
control panel may be pressed to obtain the
printout. If the Saniclave is reset or powered
down, the printout data cannot be recovered.
Printouts should be made in accordance to
your facility’s standard operang procedures.
A successful printout should look similar to
the following sample printout:

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Place the Saniclave on a dry, level surface and rest the drain tube in a sink,
bucket, or other receptacle. Alternavely, the drain tube may be pinched shut and
the water drained every few cycles (see pg. 10).
2. Remove the chamber door by rotang door counterclockwise.
3. Fill the chamber with approximately 500mL of dislled water (unl the heang
element is fully submerged and the metal poron of the temperature sensor is in
contact with the water). ALWAYS use dislled water. The sensor detects ion content
in the water. If dislled water is too pure, the autoclave may not detect the water.
Salt may be added to the water to increase detecon. Class III dislled water is
recommended.
4. Place the tray support in the boom of the chamber, put the tray on the support,
and load the instruments to be sterilized (wrapped or unwrapped) on top of the tray.
5. Inspect the door to assure that the seal is clean and not damaged. Be sure that
the inner poron of the door is also clean and clear, ensuring a secure t.
6. If the seal has been removed re-install seal in the door by evenly tucking seal
under all lugs. Seal may be cleaned with warm, soapy water (discard seal when it
becomes noceably cracked or worn).
7. Place the door on the chamber, aligning the marking on the door with the ‘OPEN’
marking on the autoclave. To close, rotate the door clockwise, ensuring that the
marking on the door is aligned with the ‘CLOSE’ marking on the autoclave. Never
aempt to rotate the door past this CLOSE marking! Improper closing of the door
can cause pressure leaks or damage to the autoclave.
8. Insert the plug of the cord into the wall outlet. NEVER modify the plug to make it
t, as the plug will only t in one way. The autoclave must be grounded when in use.
9. The 4-digit LED indicator will turn on and show ‘0000.’
10. Press ‘START/STOP’ to begin the sterilizaon process for wrapped items. If using
unwrapped items press the ‘ADVANCE’ buon instead.
NOTE: To abort the cycle at any me, press ‘START/STOP’ again. Display will then
read ‘Err 1’ and chamber will instantly depressurize. Allow a few minutes for the
chamber to depressurize before opening the door.
11. The display will briey read ‘C1’ or ‘C2’ for wrapped and unwrapped cycles
respecvely, then change to ‘Ph’ for the preheat mode which takes around 25
minutes to complete.
NOTE: Monitor the display for any errors. If an error warning is displayed, the
cycle will be aborted (see troubleshoong secon on pg. 10).
12. When the preheat mode is nished the display will automacally begin to count
down during the 30-minute sterilizaon cycle. For your convenience, the display will
show the temperature reading. To view the pressure or cycle me le, 12. see pg. 8.
13. Aer the sterilizaon cycle the display will read ‘drn’ and the unit will
automacally depressurize and begin draining. Due to door locking safety feature
of the seal, opening the door is not possible unl the chamber is completely
depressurized. You may hear sound of the chamber depressurizing, which is normal.

17. When the chamber has completed draining the autoclave will make an audible
beep. and the screen will read ‘turn door’ or ‘CC’ aer wrapped or unwrapped
sterilizaon cycles respecvely. If you autoclaved a wrapped load, rotate the door
counterclockwise, remove the door from the chamber, and tuck the boom lip of
the door under the retainer clip so that the door gently rests against the autoclave
providing a small air gap for the drying cycle. Then press the ADVANCE buon to
begin the drying mode. During this mode, the heater warms the chamber for 30
minutes and moist air vents out of the door gap. When drying is completed, the
screen will read ‘CC’. To avoid condensaon let your items cool for an addional
30 minutes before removing. If you autoclaved an unwrapped load, rotate the
door counterclockwise, remove the door from the chamber, and recover your
items. Use cauon as internal chamber contents may be hot to the touch.
18. If the Saniclave is connected to a printer, a cycle report will print when SET
buon is pressed, showing the date/me, preset and achieved parameters.
