Steam sterilizer Laboklav 55 - 195 user manual 5
I. General application, construction and use of Steam sterilizer line Laboklav 55 - 195
The steam sterilizer line Laboklav 55 - 195 is equipped with a chamber by 55 Liter to 195 Liter
chamber volume. It is constructed for the steam sterilization of instruments, materials for non
medical use and liquids. All versions contain a thermo lock acc. to IEC 61010-2-42. Different
versions depending on the use of the sterilizers are available.
In Basic version (Laboklav xxx B) the sterilization of solid materials like instruments and glass ware,
waste and liquids is possible. Instruments should be sterilized in unwrapped form. Please be sure
that the materials to sterilize are allowed to be sterilized by steam sterilization in the correct
temperature range you want to sterilize them. We suggest to do not sterilize wrapped, porous and
hollow materials with basic units. The result is not defined and not possible to validate.
The version with fast liquid cooling option (Laboklav xxx M) is equipped to make the cooling
process of liquids faster than self cooling process can be. The use of the cative cooling process is
constructed for the use of not tightly closed flasks! Reduce of process time of cooling process is
about 40 % compared with basic version! In consequence of the active cooling process happens a
loss of liquids by 3 – 12 % depending of the pressure reduce speed (programmable by service).
Further versions are equipped to reduce the loss of liquids and to allow the sterilization of tightly
closed flasks (Laboklav xxx MS und MSL).
The vacuum version includes a water ring vacuum pump. This makes the steam sterilization
process safe for wrapped, porous and hollow materials. Additionally this version includes the
possibility of drying of the materials.
The
water ring pump in units with vacuum option should run
minimum once per week. This prolongers the life cycle of the
vacuum pump and protects against malfunctions.
The different options are possible to combine in one unit (Laboklav xxx MV, MSV, MSLV).
For the use of the sterilizer in safety laboratories a special steam exhaust filtration is available to
protect the environment against elusion of non sterilized micro organism.
The manufacturer is not liable or responsible for defects or
indefinitely results if the sterilizer is not under intended use.
The steam sterilizer line Laboklav 55 – 195 allows a fully automatic process cycle. That includes
deaeration, heating, sterilization, pressure remove and cooling or drying function (optional if
included in the actual version). All steps for a automatic process are controlled by a microprocessor
control board. The actual status is shown on a graphic display and includes all important
information for the user to operate the device. The supported temperature range of the sterilization
process is 103°C to 136°C. The typical temperatures of 121°C and 134°C are programmed for
different sterilizing situations and different materials. All program positions can be reprogrammed
by special trained engineers / service stuff.
The steam sterilizer line Laboklav 55 – 195 includes the following additional advantages:
-Automatic preheating to reach defined condition in the start situation in each program
separately to define. This function is especially developed for fractionated prevacuum process
to reduce the condensate in the chamber and on the sterilization goods
-Fully automatic deaeration of the sterilization goods by fractionated prevacuum (in vacuum
option only) or pressure purge process for solids and gravity process for liquid goods.
-Use of the principle of hot stone for the steam production reduces the use of water and
decreases the heating time of the device. That make the process much more economic than the
typical steam generation process in a classic steam generator

6 user manual Steam sterilizer Laboklav 55 - 195
-Cooling process using the feed water stored in an included feed water tank (all units with
included fast cooling option). That reduces the need of expensive demineralized water and
sores heating energy in the feed water. Additionally it is degassing the feed water for the next
cycle so it increases the quality of the complete sterilization process.
-Protection of the drain on house installation side by using normal tape water mixing to the
steam outlet. That process works temperature controlled by an PT 100 in the outlet installation.
The Temperature is programmable for opening and closing the mixing valve.
-Automatic cleaning function for the steam generator in running in each cycle. It protects the unit
against heater damage forced by bad water quality.
-Microprocessor controlled process for fully automatic use

The sterilizing process in steam sterilizer line Laboklav xxx (see drawings above) contains the
following program steps:
- Preheating (Vorheizen):
The steam generator and if programmed the chamber is preheated until reaching a specified
temperature. It takes ca. 5 to 10 minutes. If the chamber temperature is high enough, it decreases
the preheating time or preheating is switched off.
- Deaeration (Entlüftung):
In all Liquids programs a gravity deaeration is preselected automatically.
In versions B, M, MS and MSL - (no vacuum available) the deaeration for Instruments and
Destruction is preselected as a presuure purge cycle. It works with 6 or 7 pressure purges between
170 and 120 kPa absolute pressure (number of pressure purges depends on start temperature).
In versions V, MV, MSV and MSLV the deaeration for Instruments and Destruction programs works
with fractionated prevacuum.
- Heating (Aufheizen)
While preheating the chamber is filled with steam up to the preset pressure and temperature. In
preheating phase a deaeration clock is working in most of the programs.

- Sterilizing (Sterilisieren)
While sterilization phase the unit is keeping the settemperature over the sterilization time. In case
over lower temperature that set temperature, the timer for the sterilization time is stopping.
- pressure remove (Dapfablaß)
The steam is removing from chamber until reaching programmed presuure in chamber
- cooling (Kühlen)
This is programmed for liquids only. Depending on the integrated fast cooling options different
cooling versions are possible: passiv or active, in active cooling slow, fast or forced is possible.
- drying (Trocknung) (for versions V, MV, MSV and MSLV only)
Program is drying with vacuum with a programmed drying time. Alternate a intermitting venting and
vacuum cycle is possible. The venting function is automatically using the venting air filter.
- Venting (Belüften)
The program is using for the venting function the integrated venting air filter automatically. The
function works until reaching the programmed air pressure.
- equalizing (Ausgleich)
For additional safety the device is waiting a few seconds after reaching the program finish to make
sure that no measurement mistake has set the program to finish. Equalizing time depends on
program and sterilization goods and can be different.
•Programs for testing
The Bowie&Dick-Test is proofing the process for steam penetration of the sterilization good (mainly
for textiles or paper wrap). This test is implemented in vacuum option only. The test is normally for
medical use only! The test body for theis test should be a one usable test package only.
The vacuum test is implemented in vacuum option only. It can be used for testing the leackage rate
of the unit. For the normal use it is not necessary to runthis test (implemented for
service/maintenance). The test should run if the chamber is cold! The chamber temperature shold
be not higher than 40°C (than it is impossible to start the test).

If the test result is “Incorrect” the unit should get a ser
vice /
maintenance! In that case you should not use the device until
qualified service stuff has checked the device!
All sterilization cycles are running automatically. The duration of a single cycle depends on the
load, kind of deaeration, number of vacuum fractions in fractionated prevacuum and the start
conditions (warm or cold), drying time, kind of cooling etc. Even so the type of sterilization goods,
and kind of loading the god inside the chamber have a enormous effect on the cycle time. In case
of a validation you can define the goods and loads. When ever the same good / load with same
program and same parameters is started, the time depends mainly from start temperature. The
control unit is automatically adding preheating and deaeration cycles if temperature was to low!

•Preparation of the unit
The floor in the room should be waterproof. The sterilizer require foundations (concrate foundations
of load capacity 400 kg), and it should be located in close distance to a floor drain, to allow draining
of condensate and water. The room dimensions should ensure comfort in operation, while ensuring
the minimal distances (min. 10 cm to the Wall and next device In room).
Due to large amount of heat generated during the sterilizer operation, the room in which it is seated
should be fitted with a mechanical intake and exhaust ventilation system, providing 6÷10
exchanges of air per hour. The ventilating hood should be installed above the sterilizer.
By using the turnable Leeds the chamber of the device should be adjusted to remove the
condensate from chaber easely.
•Power supply
The steam sterilizer is equipped with a 2,5 m long net supply cable. The device is configured to be
connected to an electrical system CEE 3P+N+GND with a voltage of 400V AC, 50 Hz, 16 A. For
commercial use we recommend to use an additional fault current protection switch. For fast switch
off a central main power seitch should be installed (see page 6).
I the device is connected to a power supply with wrong or
without correct ground connection it may endanger the
operator of the device by dangerous electrical voltage.
Connecting the device to a
power supply with lower capacity
than 3x16 A
may cause an over load or heating up the power
cable and can cause a fire!
•Water supply
The steam sterilizer needs demineralized or destilled water only! Please refer to Appendix C EN
13060 about water quality. Normal tape water / drinking water is not for use as feed water! See the
quality definition in chapter VII Additional Informations. The device is prepared to be connected to a
central feed water supply. Is this is given please use the connection. So the refill of feed water
inside the tank is automatically started by the unit. Manual refill is possible but not as comfortable
as automatic refilling function. Pressure on water supply should be not less than o.5 bar. The
volume of the feed water tank is between 16 and 45 Liter. Manual refilling is possible outside a
program run only (lid must be open). If the unit gives an error message Water level low in feed
waater tank, the program is not stopping. Program tries to finish the cycle.
