1.2 Choice of cycles, load and packing


In the autoclave are foreseen a series of programmed and tested cycles suitable to the different kind
of materials to sterilize, as listed in the schedule. Furthermore, for to make better the quality of the
sterilization the autoclave consents to choose the typology of packing. In this way the cycle will fit to
the needs besides, the material to treat, also the type of packing, to avoid inconvenient which
condense residuals in the containers, humid or damaged medical paper and bags or tubes exploded.

General Procedures:

The loading of the sterilizer must be executed in order that the steam can freely circulate and enter in
every package. The load of the autoclave must be distributed in uniform way, and it must not touch
the internal parts. All items to sterilize must be shown in such a way that each surface is directly
exposed to the sterilizing agent for the temperature and foreseen time. Place the bags and paper
packages in the suitable wire baskets in position such to be parallel to the flow of steam and do not
press them, the surfaces in polyethylene of the bags must be coupled with them, the small packages
must be placed on the top of packages with big dimensions. The instruments must be opened
disassembled and with the surface to sterilize free, the contained of the containers and baskets must
not be compromise. Particular instruments which containers, tubes, etc. must be placed with the
opening toward the bottom to avoid that condensate water collect, and air bubble forms. The tubes
must not be closed on sides and folded. The rubber gloves are impermeable to the steam must be
put laid and not folded. Once the autoclave is loaded and in temperature can be started to execute
the sterilization cycle choosing the same by touch screen. During the execution the parameters and
the stages can be checked always on the touch screen. At the end of the cycle, regularly executed,
we can open the autoclave on the opposite side for the unload of the material. Discharge the
materials avoiding to put them on cold surfaces and close again the door of the autoclave load side.
Check that the bags and packages are dried and integral verifying the right color change of the
external indicators of process. The steam sterilization can be executed on: surgical instruments,
metallic instruments, textile material for medication, non-sensitive rubber material, linen and textiles
material for sterile field let alone glassware.

1.3 Washing and packing of the material before the sterilization.


The material before to be submitted to a sterilization process, it must be correctly washed in all of its
parts, rinsed with water possibly dematerialized and dried so as to reduce the microbial charge
present and remove the presence of dirt, of oily substances and organic material, in that they could
interfere on the sterilization process.
The factors that determine a correct operation of detersion are: chemical (detergent), thermal
(temperature of water), time (time of immersion or bath) and mechanical (use of machines or
brushes).
The objects to submit to sterilization must have washed using detergent pH neutral.
For instruments of operating theatres must use a detergent product to use according to the
instructions pointed out by the manufacturer.
The detergents must be used according the instructions of use especially concerning the dilutions. A
product for which is foreseen a dilution at the moment of use must not be used to the pure condition,
it is necessary to prepare the preparation in a suitable container following the listed indications.
The cleaning operations must be performed separately from the packing operations to not cause
alterations to the packing materials, in practice the material to sterilize must be packed in a room
separate from the washing area.
The staff to such operation must be protected during all cleaning operations to avoid that there are
wounds, contacts with organic material or detergent products, beside it must pay particular attention
towards to sharpened and cutting edge instruments.

The precautions to keep are: remove coarse dirty from the object; immerse the open or
disassembled instrument in a container in which the product of treatment or detergent it has been
prepared for the fixed time by the manufacturers; friction the object with suitable sponges, brushes or
swabs in the internal and external parts do not use metal brushes or abrasive products; rinse with
running water possibly dematerialized, to dry, check the efficiency of instruments and in case to
lubricate with suitable products pH neutral; after the lubrication the surgical instruments must be
sprayed with the compressed air gun to remove the excess of lubricant.
In the use of cleaning products, or cleaning and disinfection combined the instructions of producer
must be followed with accuracy (time of action, concentration, temperature).
Only the exact dosing guarantees a perfect result of cleaning and disinfection, with the maximum
respect for the materials. A not sufficient dosing of alkaline product (false saving) it allows the risk of
corrosion in that it avoids for values of pH higher than 10,5.

Autoclaves CISA Pag.21


CISA S.r.l. - Manual of Use and Maintenance - Versione 4.0/00

In the use of acid cleaning products, could produce corrosion for the presence of chlorine.
This it could avoid only with the use of dematerialized water. The instruments in colored anodized
aluminum lose their color with current methods of cleaning by machine and so lose also the coding
function. In the case of very dirty surgical instruments, incrusted (blood coagulated, rests of secretion
or other material) It could result necessary a further manual or ultrasonic cleaning. In such case it
must be examined carefully the instructions for the delicate mechanical treatment of the instruments
for microsurgery. In the cleaning by machine must eliminate, during the rinsing stage, all the rests of
the cleaning stage, otherwise it could present spots and coloring over the surgical instruments. The
use of a neutralization product could help this procedure and improve the result of rinsing. In the
practice it is verified that in the treatment of surgical instruments in cleaning and disinfection
machines, the best temperature for rinsing (besides for the following drying) is included between 70
and 95°C. At the appear of possible corrosion the rinsing temperature must be limited between 70
and 75°C. Using dematerialized water for rinsing, it could avoid spots and corrosion without limit the
temperature. The surgical instruments must be removed from the unit immediately after the end of
program must provide at a complete drying. If the instruments before the cleaning by machine are
immersed in a cleaning and disinfection solution, for to avoid the formation of foam in the unit it is
performed a rinse or it is used a product controlled foam. The instruments with long or narrow cavity
as for example metal catheters, metal aspirators, special cannel, etc. they must be rinsed also
inside.

The treatment with the machine of instruments for microsurgery and dental instruments as many
delicate, it must performed in the automated units only if it is assured a safe fixing of the instruments
during the working process. Handles and particular articulated could be treated in the machine if the
manufacturer foresee such method and if a safe fixing is assured. As soon as the program of the unit
is finished it must to execute a suitable treatment with suitable spray to eliminate possible humidity
passed inside of the instruments.
Rotating dental instruments (drills, milling machines and abrasive bodies) are suitable to the
treatment in machine only in limited measure. It is preferable the ultrasonic treatment. The same say
it for tools for roots. Hand-mirrors covered with rhodium steam, could be treated in machine. Rigid
endoscopes have to be disassembled according to the instructions of the manufacturer to may
execute the treatment in machine. The gaskets have to be removed. It must to treat in the machine
only that particulars of endoscopes expressly shown by manufacturer (excluded for example the
optics).
However for the treatment in machine the parts of endoscopes need of a suitable support inside the
machine.
It must to assure that also the instruments with internal cavity are cleaned well at their own inside.
The treatment in machine of the flexible endoscopes foresees their cleaning and disinfection in a
closed machine. It is not possible to use the usual disinfection and cleaning equipment. For
chemothermic processes the temperature must not exceed 60°C. For the endoscopes for which
occur a cleaning and disinfection of preparation outside of the unit, it must to use exclusively
disinfectants, detergents and detergent additives, that produce a little foam.

Before proceeding to other treatments it must to execute the leak tests described by the
manufacturer. In this way it recognizes at the right time drillings and fissures that, following liquids
penetrated inside a leak test before or during the execution of cleaning and disinfection program.
A flexible endoscope damaged must be sent immediately to the manufacturer enclosing a
description of the cause of the defect. For the treatment by machine it must to use only detergents
and disinfectants proper to the particular type of treatment to execute. The flexible endoscope must
be placed inside the unit in sure way. Suitable devices must assure a perfect rinsing of all channels
and of the external surfaces. In case of treatment by machine, the final rinsing should be executed
with sterile dematerialized water. Furthermore it is opportune can arrange of the drying device. For
the cleaning in the ultrasonic tank, the surgical instruments must be put in position of opening on
suitable sterilization baskets. Attention must be made so that neither the sterilization baskets, neither
tools of big surface (lead hands, other baskets) determine zones of shade for the ultrasounds. Warm
water without additive does not hand to satisfactory results of cleaning. Is necessary therefore to add
an appropriate product for the cleaning.

Autoclaves CISA Pag.22


CISA S.r.l. - Manual of Use and Maintenance - Versione 4.0/00

It must respect the prescriptions of the manufacturer about the concentration and the temperature.
The temperature of the solutions of cleaning in the ultrasonic tank should be at least 40°C, otherwise
the cleaning effect is not assured.

A great temperature help the degasification of the cleaning solution and it makes easy the action of
the ultrasonic treatment. The appropriate use of a suitable product does not produce coagulation of
albominous substances also to high temperatures. Ao temperatures between 20 and 25°C it can be
used that cleaning and disinfection products that is foreseen for the use at these temperatures only.
An excessive concentration of dirt in the ultrasonic tank harms to the cleaning. Therefore the solution
must be renewed according to the intervals pointed out by the manufacturer. In the practice it is
verified that times of ultrasonic treatment from 3 to 5 minutes and frequencies than at least 35 kHz. it
can consider enough (to respect the prescriptions of the manufacturer). The tank of the ultrasonic
cleaner must be filled following the instructions of the manufacturer (quantity of water).
To assure a perfect cleaning of instruments they must be completely covered from the cleaning
solution. The instruments cleaned by ultrasounds must be submitted then to an accurate rinse by
hand or by machine. This rinse must be performed with clean water of quality at least equal to
drinkable water. It would be preferable in every case that was demineralized water to avoid the
formation of stains. At the end of the rinse the instruments must be immediately and meticulously
dried. The micro-instruments must be placed on special supports to avoid the damage of them.
To avoid a damage of the surfaces and the welding of the dental instruments, the ultrasonic bath
must not contain acid substances to remove the cement. The handles, the articulated parts and the
turbines can not be treated by ultrasounds.

The rotating dental instruments must be treated only with appropriate cleaning and disinfection
products. On the special supports is prepared for them foreseen. With this it avoids a damage for
mutual contact between the instruments (for example, because of alive edges, diamonds grain, etc.).
After a short rinse with water and the immediate drying, the rotating dental instruments must be
treated with a product against the corrosion resistant to the sterilization. The flexible endoscopes can
not be treated with ultrasounds. The accessories (valves, covers, pliers PE, catheters) can be
cleaned by ultrasounds.
The packing of the objects and materials to sterilize has the purpose to preserve the sterility of the
treated material up to the moment of the use, it must allow the penetration and the contact of the
sterilizing way with the surface of the object, it must to reduce the risk of contamination of the content
to the moment of the opening, it must be practical and comfortable.
The objects to sterilize can be manufactured singularly or assembled, in this last case it is correct to
follow the orientation of the packing for single necessity (set for medication, for intervention) rather
than the packing for quality that offers small hygienic guarantees.

The packing must be of small dimensions and once opened they must be used completely or
sterilized again.
Before proceeding to the packing: to check that the material is cleaned, That is entire and that is dry,
to get off the assembled parts removing corks and covers, to protect the points of needles and sharp,
to place plastics and rubbers in such way to preserve the original form, to roll up the pipes or the
very long materials they allow it without creating narrowing.
The packing in containers with filters is suitable for set of surgical instruments, laundry, gauzes and
tablets of medication.
Every time it is necessary to check the state of the filters, to replace them periodically following the
indications of the supplier, or when they result visibly altered however to follow to the indications of
guarantee of the manufacturer.
The contained material in the containers must not be compressed, the laundry should be positioned
vertically.
The packing in medical paper for the steam sterilization is suitable for the sets of laundry and
surgical instruments, not suitable for the packing of medication, materials of small entity or material
disomogeneis among them and deprived of support.

Autoclaves CISA Pag.23


CISA S.r.l. - Manual of Use and Maintenance - Versione 4.0/00

The technique of packing must allow the opening of the package without involving the sterility of the
objects in it contained, therefore it is necessary to packing the packages in double orthogonal layer
using a methodic that allows to guarantee an effective protection an easy opening and an antiseptic
extraction of the content.
The double orthogonal layer is necessary in that the medical paper because of the presence of
micro-holes can not result an absolute barrier against the microorganisms. The double packing
introduce the advantage besides to be able to remove the external layer before the introduction of
the package in an area to low microbial charge preventing the entry of dust microscopic that
deposited it on the external packing. In the activity of packing do not use pins or clips for the closing.

The packing in bags or tubular of paper Kraft joined polypropylene/polyester is suitable for the steam
sterilization and for the single materials or of small and averages dimensions, for the sets of surgical
instruments, for laundry and medication.
The formalities of preparation foresee the choice of: a format of bags or tubular suitable considering
that the content must not occupy more than 3/4 with its volume. Besides it must be positioned the
content in order to guarantee correct maneuvers of opening and extraction to the moment of the use,
the hilt of the instruments must present easily accessible, the gauzes and the laundry must maintain
intact without opening the moment of the extraction. To check that the pointed or sharp material is
protected from supports in plastics and that all the bags are welded to the rims with thermo-welders
providing to leave a margin of opening of 5 cm. and what the welding is at least 1 cm. however not
less than 6 mm. and not higher than 12 mm. of continuous or multiple type.

For the material that must be used on sterile field it recommends the packing in double bag, both the
bags it intended like joined to polyethylene/polyester and Kraft paper must be welded singularly and
introduced in the sterilization unit.

The vacuum leak in 10 minutes cannot reach 13mbar.

Autoclaves CISA Pag.35


CISA S.r.l. - Manual of Use and Maintenance - Versione 4.0/00

With the open cycles is possible to create a sterilization cycle modificating the
parameters and the relative phases of the cycle. The phases are :

• VACUUM TEST
• CONDITIONING
• HEATING
• STERILIZATION
• COOLING (only for autoclaves with liquid cycle)
• DISCHARGE CHAMBER
• WASHING
• DRYING
• AERATION

For those phases we can modify :

VACUUM TEST

Enabling of the phase (ON/OFF)


The max leakage in millibar (mbar) in the difference of test time
The set of vacuum to reach to begin the stabilization (kPa)
Set of heating of the jacket (°C)
Max time of the vacuum test (min)
Max time to reach the vacuum set (min)

CONDITIONING

Enabling of the phase (ON/OFF)


First set of pressure (kPa)
Second set of pressure (kPa)
NB: the set of pressure are compared with the pressure in chamber to decide to
begin with the injection of steam or the vacuum stage.
Ex. If the chamber pressure is 100Kpa and the first set is 20Kpa, the machine will
start with the injection of pressure phase.

The jacket heating temperature (°C)


NB: the jacket temnperature is regulated to permit the reaching of the pressure
set. If the pressure correspondent to the selected temperature pressure is less
than the set of pressure, there will be an alarm of maximum phase.
Ex: Inserting a 200Kpa pressure set, we must insert the jacket temperature at
least at 123°C (see Table of referement steam temperature/pressure, fig.9)

The max time spent to reach the minimum set of Vacuum


The number of repetition vacuum/pressure

In this phase is possible to set the pre-conditioning parameter as :


Time of pre-heating of the material before the starting of the cycle (stand-by) (min)
Time of pre-heating before the sterilizaztion phase (min)
Enabling of the incremental pulsing (0=OFF, 1=ON)
Enabling of the maintenance of the pulsing pressure (0=OFF, 2=ON)
NB: The stand-by time in pressure is fixed by the STAND-BY parameter (min.)

Autoclaves CISA Pag.36


CISA S.r.l. - Manual of Use and Maintenance - Versione 4.0/00

This option allows to have a fixed incremental pressure set-point. Ex. Fixing the
pressure set-point at 200 kPa and the vacuum set-point at 20 kPa and 6 pulsing
number we will have:

200-20 =180 kPa , 180/6=30 kPa then,

1° pressure set-point = 20 + 30 = 50 kPa


2° pressure set-point = 50 + 30 = 80 kPa
3° pressure set-point = 80 + 30 = 110 kPa
4° pressure set-point = 110 + 30 = 140 kPa
5° pressure set-point = 140 + 30 = 170 kPa
6° pressure set-point = 170 + 30 = 200 kPa

HEATING

Enabling phase (ON/OFF)


NB: disabling this phase, the sterilization phase also will be disaled.
Heating set-piont (°C)
Ascendant ramp in °C/minute
Maximum time for reaching the set.
NB: fixing an ascendant ramp of 1°C/minute, to reach a set-point of 134°C sterting
from a temperature of 100°C we will take:
134-100= 34°C, or rather 34 minutes. Look to this time, first to fix any value.

STERILIZATION

Enabling phase (ON/OFF)


NB: Enabling this phase will be enabled also the heating phase.
Sterilization time (min), (only in case of B&D cycle this numer is write in seconds)
Enabling of the F0 parameter
This function permit the using of the real time (F0 disabled) or the virtual time
calculated on the increasing temperature (F0 enabled).
The user must have knowledge about the F0 theorema.
Selection of the type of sterilization. (only for double-functioning autoclaves)

COOLING (only for liquid tratment autoclaves)

Enabling phase (ON/OFF)


Cooling temperature (°C)
Cooling minimum time (min)

CHAMBER DISCHARGE

Enabling phase (ON/OFF)


Discendant ramp of the pressure in chamber expressed in mbar/minute until
atmosferic pressure (about) 105 kPa

WASHING

Enabling phase (ON/OFF)


Vacuum set-point (kPa)
Aeration set-point (kPa)
NB. The aeration set-point must be less than the vacuum set
Number of repetition of the vacuum/aeration stages
Time of stand-by under pressure of the first pulsing stage (min)
Jacket temperature set-point (°C)

Autoclaves CISA Pag.37


CISA S.r.l. - Manual of Use and Maintenance - Version 4.0/00

DRYING

Enabling phase (ON/OFF)


Vacuum set-point (kPa)
Time of stand-by under pressure (min)
Jacket temperature set-point (°C)

AERATION

Is not possible to fix any value for this phase.

Thery are fixed 20 open cycles in the autoclave memory, each one indentified by a
number. So the open cycle number 1 will be preinted on the printout as “OPEN CYCLE
01”. The user should take care of the tipology of the created cycle.

1.7 Operator codes

WARNING. Please note that in the Formaldehyde version of all series of autoclaves,
missing the management of the operator codes (ch. 1.7).
So, for this type of equipment exclude the chapter 1.7 of the present manual.

For the management of the equipment have been foreseen twenty different operators for each of
them it has been inserted a reference code. For each operator is available a level that identify the
function that change from 1 to 9 and each level has the possibility to execute fixed functions in the
unit (see schedule of picture 5). From level 1 to level 5 are operator functions, from 6 to 7
maintenance functions and 8 and 9 of supervision. These codes and relatives levels can be
changed according to the needs. The unit at its first activation will have the following configuration:

Operator n° Code Level Name


1 - 9 OPERATOR N.1
2 0002 1 OPERATOR N.2
3 0003 1 OPERATOR N.3
4 0004 1 OPERATOR N.4
5 0005 1 OPERATOR N.5
6 0006 1 OPERATOR N.6
7 0007 1 OPERATOR N.7
8 0008 1 OPERATOR N.8
9 0009 1 OPERATOR N.9
10 0010 1 OPERATOR N.10
11 0011 1 OPERATOR N.11
12 0012 1 OPERATOR N.12
13 0013 1 OPERATOR N.13
14 0014 1 OPERATOR N.14
15 0015 1 OPERATOR N.15
16 0016 1 OPERATOR N.16
17 0017 1 OPERATOR N.17
18 0018 1 OPERATOR N.18
19 0019 1 OPERATOR N.19
20 0020 1 OPERATOR N.20

At the starting of a cycle the name of the operator relative to the inserted code will be printed. The
operator code will be required every time that there is the necessity, for example for to reset an
alarm, for to do a manual advancing of phase or to use the function of calibration. Such functions
will be activated or not according to the level corresponding to the inserted code.

The calibration procedure must be executed by skilled staff. An improper


use of this function can cause damages whether to the sterilization process
or the staff.
NOTE: For this function is necessary the certified instruments of reference (EX. drain
temperature, manometer sample etc.)
The function of calibration acts on the analogue values of temperature and pressure that are
pointed out by the unit. These analogue values are converted with a linear function as from the
following diagram:

where points A2 and B2 are the extremes of the values to convert in input and A1 and B1 are the
correspondent extremes in output. Took a value in input P2 its correspondent value in output P1
will be the projection of the point P2 on the axis generated from A1-A2 , B1-B2 in the points A
and B. So a modification on the abscissa of the points A1 and B1 will modify the axis A1-A2 , B1-
B2 and the consequent projection of P2 on the point P.

Autoclaves CISA Page 87


CISA S.r.l. - Manual of Use and Maintenance - Version 4.0/00

This is the resultant axis modifying the point A1. For to obtain the same point P1 on the abscissa
, the value of P2 should get near to the point A2 on the ordinate.

This is the resultant axis modifying the point B1 . For to obtain the same point P1 on the abscissa
, the value of P2 should get near to the point B2 on the ordinate.
The scale of temperature is 0 – 200,0 °C, expressed in tenth of degree 0 –2000.
Considering a possible negative error in the conversion of the signal in input, the values of A1 e
B1 are added at a whole value of 1000. After the interpolation for the calculation of P1 so a such
value will be subtracted the initial value of 1000. The values relative to the temperature of A1 and
B1 so will be:
A1 = 1000
B1 = 3000
The scale of pressure is 0 – 600 kPa , expressed in millibar 0 – 6000.

Autoclaves CISA Page 88


CISA S.r.l. - Manual of Use and Maintenance - Version 4.0/00

5.1 MAGNETIC WATER SOFTENER
The use of this accessory is advised for the treatment of network water that feed the autoclave. On
water circuit it avoids, in the new installations, the formation of calcareous deposits and cause into the
existing installations the progressive disintegratin of calcareous deposits present. Furthermore it
avoids the periodic and indispensable maintenance operations for the elimination of the calcareous
deposits and it protects the internal of tubes from the formation of rust.
The best efficiency of the unit obtains in presence of the foIlowing operation conditions:
- max. pressure: 20 Atm
- max. temperature: 250°C
-degree of Ph of water: 7÷9
-optimal speed: 1÷2 m/sec.
-capacity: there are no limits
Technical informations
Water softener must be periodically submitted to a check that consists exclusively to work the clean of
the internal nucleus that can be with the time, coated by film or metallic particle that make them less
effective to run.
For the clean cannot be use absolutely wire brushes, that makes immediately unusable the unit, but it
must intervene with solutions that can be required to the supplier or, in laternative, use lemon-juice or
vinegar absorbing a cloth and make it slide on the internal nucleus. This action will remove whether
the plate or possible ferrous deposits that will be stored in the time.

empty the tank.
b) For to do this it needs to put in pressure the tank, remove the plug from the outlet to take the
compressor where water output does not damage the floor, incline ligthly the compressor forward and
unscrew the suitable cock placed in the bottom on the tank.
c) Periodic controls (every week) of the oil level, can be easily executed through the level glass (if
necessary top up the oil).
d) The compressor is equipped with a motor protection that stops it automatically in case of power
overload or when the temperature of the motorcompressor reaches the value of 100÷110°C.

e) If this event should verify during the normal use, put the switch in “OFF” position and let cool it
for about 30 minutes.
f) The motorprotector will active again automatically the contact when the temperature will reach
a value of about 60÷70°C.
g) Switch ON again and check that all is ok.
h) Always use with the compressor on a flat surface
i) Do not check or repair the compressor when it is connected to a power source.
