1.7. 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 unsterilised material caused by wrong cleaning treatment before sterilisation;
•Contamination due to implementation of incorrect reprocessing procedures;
•Contamination due to material unsuitable for sterilisation or not compliant with instructions for use;
•Contamination due to unsterilised material caused by wrong final assessment of sterilisation process;
•Contamination due to missing or wrong scheduled maintenance;
•Contamination due to missing periodic validation.
1.8. 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 sterilisation process has been completed with saturated steam at 121° or 134°, 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 sterilisation 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 unsterilised material caused by wrong cleaning treatment before sterilisation.
See chapter TREATING THE MATERIAL BEFORE STERILISATION.
Contamination due to implementation of incorrect reprocessing procedures.
Make sure to use sterile material.
Contamination due to material unsuitable to sterilisation or not compliant with instructions for use.
•Check that the contaminated material is compatible with the selected sterilisation process;
•Immediately separate the materials to be sterilised from those that must not be subjected to such process or are not able to withstand it.
Contamination due to unsterilised material caused by wrong final assessment of sterilisation process.
The sterilisation 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 sterilisation process can be checked by means of:
CHEMICAL INDICATORS
That monitor the sterilisation process by providing information, together with the control of physical and biological parameters, on the conditions occurred
in the sterilisation 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 sterilisation process. If
the toning does not occur, the operator in charge of releasing the sterile material, that must not beused, 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, Helix 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 wrong scheduled maintenance.
The steriliser, based on apreset programming,displays a warning messagerelatingto the scheduledmaintenancenecessary to ensurethe good operation
of the device.
Contamination due to missing periodic validation.
See chapter PERIODIC STERILISER VALIDATION.

3. GENERAL DESCRIPTION - PRODUCT PRESENTATION
3.1. GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
The device is an electronic steam steriliser, entirely operated by a micro-processor, with a large, moulded stainless steel sterilisation chamber.
It is characterised by an advanced fractionated vacuum system for the complete removal of air, even from hollow, porous materials, and an effective final
vacuum drying phase capable of eliminating all traces of humidity from any load.
The exclusive steam generation system, the effective hydraulic circuit and the electronic management (integrated by high-precision sensors) ensures high
execution speed of process and an excellent stability of thermodynamic parameters.
Moreover, its Process Evaluation System constantly monitors all the machine's “vital” parameters in real-time, guaranteeing absolute safety and a perfect
result.
The device offers users 6 sterilisation programs (one of which completelyprogrammable), all equipped with customisable, optimised drying for the effective
sterilisation of the various types of load (instruments and materials) used in a medical environment.
All the cycles can be selected on the clear LCD screen, which also allows extensive configuration of the device according to the user’s needs.
Like in the best tradition, the newrange of autoclaves feature themost complete and advanced safety systems available today, to ensure the user against

When buying demineralised / distilled water, make always sure that the quality and characteristics declared by the manufacturer are compatible
with those specified in the table.
The use of water for steam generation with presence of contaminants
with levels exceeding those indicated in the above table can greatly shorten steriliser lifetime.
This could also result in an increase of oxidation in the most sensitive materials as well as in an increase of limescale residues on
generator, boiler, internal supports, trays and instruments.

3.8. EXAMPLE OF WORKING CYCLE
The sterilisation program can be effectively described as a succession of phases, each one with a very precise objective.
For example, the universal program (cycle B, 134°C - 4’): 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 Generator and sterilisation chamber pre-heating;
2 Air removal and steam penetration in the material through a series of vacuum (extraction of air and fluid from the sterilisation 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 sterilisation (in the example,
134°C);
4 Pressure and temperature stabilisation;
5 Load sterilisation for the required time (in the example, 4 minutes);
6 Sterilisation chamber depressurisation;
7 Vacuum drying phase;
8 Load ventilation, by means of sterile air;
9 Pressure levelling, bringing the sterilisation chamber back to the atmospheric pressure level.
Having reached this last phase, you can unlock the door and remove the load from the sterilisation chamber.
It should be emphasised 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 steriliser, 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.
A PRESSURE (BAR)
B PROCESS
C TIME (MIN)
D FRACTIONATED VACUUM
E VACUUM DRYING

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 steriliser, 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 follow meticulously the instructions contained hereafter in this chapter.
Technical service department (see appendix) is available for further information. The steriliser is placed on the market only after having passed
all the checks required. It does not require any additional calibration for commissioning.
