SAMPLE
OPERATING
CYCLE
The Bravo’s sterilization program is a succession of phases, each with a specific purpose.
After loading the material in the chamber, closing the door, selecting the program and starting
the cycle (the door opening mechanism locks automatically), the standard program (for porous
materials, 134 °C at 4 minutes, for example) uses the following sequence:
1. Preheats the generator and sterilization chamber;
2. Removes the air and penetrates the material by steam through a series of vacuum
(extracting fluid from the sterilization chamber) and pressure (injecting steam into the
chamber) phases;
3. Raises the pressure, with the consequent increase in the temperature of the steam, until
reaching the conditions required for sterilization (for example, 134 °C);
4. Stabilizes the pressure and temperature;
5. Sterilizes for the required time (for example, 4 minutes);
6. Depressurizes the sterilization chamber;
7. Begins vacuum-drying phase;
8. Ventilates the load with sterile air;
9. Brings the pressure of the sterilization chamber back to the atmospheric level.
After reaching atmospheric pressure, the door is automatically unlocked and can be opened to
remove the load from the sterilization chamber.
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. Phases 2, 5, 7 and 8, however, vary their configuration and/or duration on the basis
of the cycle selected (and, consequently, the type of load) and the choices made by the user.

PRECAUTIONS
To ensure operator safety and the correct performance of the device:
– Install the sterilizer on a flat level surface strong enough to support the device's weight,
and use the leveling feet to compensate for an irregular surface.
– Leave adequate space for ventilation, at least 2” (50 mm) on both side and top and 4”
(100mm) at the back. If the device is installed in a cabinet, be sure to respect the warnings
in the preceding paragraph, avoiding any obstructions to the air intake.
– Avoid contact with water or liquids. Do not install the sterilizer near tubs, sinks or similar
places, as this could cause short circuits and/or potentially dangerous situations for the
operator.
– Do notinstall the sterilizer in aplace that is excessively humid or poorly ventilated;
– Do not install the machine were there is gas or flammable and/or explosive vapors;
– Install the device so that the power cord is not sharply bent or kinked. It must run freely to
the electrical connection socket.
– Install the device so that any external fill/drain tubing(s) is/are not sharply bent or kinked.
These must run freely to the drain tank.
ELECTRICAL
CONNECTIONS The Bravo must be connected to an outlet that provides adequate capacity for the device's
absorption and ground, and which conforms with current laws and/or standards. The outlet
must also be protected by suitablebreaker.
WARNING
THE MANUFACTURER WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES CAUSED BY
INSTALLING THE STERILIZER ON AN INADEQUATE ELECTRICAL
SYSTEM OR ONE NOT EQUIPPED WITH A GROUND.
If it is necessary to replace the plug on the power cord, use one with equal characteristics or,
at any rate, adequate to the device's electrical characteristics. The user is entirely responsible
for the selection and replacement of the plug. This replacement should only be performed by
a trained service professional.
NOTE
ALWAYS CONNECT THE POWER CORD DIRECTLY TO THE SOCKET.DO NOT USE
EXTENSION CORDS,ADAPTERS OR OTHER ACCESSORIES.
CONNECTING THE
DATA RECORDER
Installation
The sterilizer can be connected to external data recorder to allow the recording of the cycle
data on to a USB memory stick which can then be downloaded to a PC for archiving and
management.
The connectors in the service compartment are used for interfacing.
1. Switch off the sterilizer and open the service compartment door;
2. Insert both ends of the 9-pin connector into the serial ports of the data recorder and the
Bravo unit and secure them with the screws.
The serial port of the autoclave can be found next to the biological filter;

WATER TANK
To avoid having to regularly fill the internal water tank (see Chapter 5 - Instructions for Use), it
is possible to connect the sterilizer to an optional external tank that the user will less frequently
fill, or to a commercially-available, water purification system with accumulation tank.
With this option, the autoclave automatically activates a pump that fills the internal tank when it
reaches the MIN level.Be sure to monitor the external tank as the Bravo unit can not monitor
the water level in the external tank.
To connect the external tank, follow the instructions below:
– Install the tap provided on the tank; use Teflon tape or connector sealant for a perfect seal.
– Use the tank’s silicone tube (or other suitable tube) and insert it on the filling connector
taking care to push it completely on.
– Lock the tube to connector with the plastic tie provided.
– Insert the other end of the tube on the tap of the tank.
– Make sure that the tube runs freely from the device to the tank, without being bent, crushed
or obstructed in any way.
– Loosen the cap to facilitate the flow of water.
– Open the tap on the filling tank.
