1General
Read the Operating Instructions carefully, before beginning any
operation on the autoclave!
1.1 Introduction
Model 5050/5075 EL-MD/EL-D is a laboratory sterilizer designed
especially for the sterilization of instruments, liquids, and other
materials in hospital laboratories, medical laboratories (including the
medical waste), research institutes, food laboratories and
pharmaceutical facilities.
MD models have a manual door with handle, and D models have an
automatic door equipped with an electrical cylinder. The automatic door
locks itself when closed and unlocks.by pressing a button.
The PV (pre-vacuum) models are equipped with a vacuum pump.
The advantages of the pre-vacuum sterilizer in comparison to the
regular gravity displacement steam sterilizer are as follows:
•Removal of air pockets from packs and porous loads and most
kinds of tubes (rubber, plastic etc.) by vacuum at the first stage
of the cycle.
•Better steam penetration into the load; resulting in effective
sterilization.
•Better temperature uniformity.
•Better drying of materials with closed doors due to the vacuum
achieved in the chamber at the end of the sterilization cycle.
In BH (bio-hazard) models, a bio-hazard filter installed in the chamber
enables sterilizing bio-hazard load without contaminating the
surrounding.
There is a configuration equipped with fan that allows shortening the
cooling operation.
The temperature and pressure are controlled through sensors placed
inside and outside the media container or bottles.
The autoclave is equipped with A 9Kw generator that produces the
steam required for the sterilization.
