2. TECHNICAL DATA
2.1 Introduction
The table-top autoclave is pressure controlled automatically. It is
especially designed to meet the needs of effective and safe sterilization
in all kinds of dental and medical clinics, first aid rooms, small
laboratories etc.
The autoclave models M are electrically heated sterilizers of different
dimensions, using steam as the sterilizing agent.
It is easy to operate using the operating manual. Operator can choose
the required sterilization temperature range 212-273ºF (100-134ºC)
thus allow the instrument to be used as a sterilizer at 250ºF (121ºC) or
273ºF (134ºC). The low temperature range 212-250ºF (100-121ºC)
is designed to meet sterilization requirement when heat-sensitive
material is sterilized. The autoclave is specially designed for
sterilization of infectious waste materials prior to their disposal.
This manual is intended to give the user a general understanding of
how the autoclave works and indicate the best ways to operate and take
care of it in order to obtain optimum results and a trouble-free
operation. However, since the autoclave is built using high technology
sensitive components, no attempt should be made by the user or any
other unauthorized person to repair or re-calibrate it.
Only technical personnel having proper qualifications, and holding the
technical documentation and adequate test instrumentation are
authorized to service the instruments.
