Important Option

A. Integral Air Compressor

- A supply of compresses air is essential on all units fitted with the Logi Controller. The Air supply is requires to operate the pneumatic valves used in conjunction with the touch screen controller. This option is therefore essential where such a supply is not available.

Data Monitoring & Recording Options

B. Integral Data Printer :

This printer provides a permanent and traceable record of: ¨Time ¨Temperature ¨Pressure ¨Batch No. ¨Cycle Name. There is also provision for operator signature; the printer also provides reports of cycle settings and servicing information.

C. RS232 Interface :

This allows cycle progress to be monitored on an external computer equipped with suitable software.

D. Ethernet Interface :

Adds Ethernet connectivity to the RS232 Interface (NB can only be ordered in conjunction with RS232 interface).

Important option to be considered if fluids are being processed

E. Load Sensed Process Timing :

Load Sensed Process Timing allows the sterilization cycle to be controlled via the temperature achieved in the center of the load. The operation of load sensed process timing is controlled via the 'Secure' programmer. A 'wandering' probe, situated within the chamber is inserted into the load, or load simulator, and initiates the sterilization period once the probe reaches the programmed threshold temperature. A selectable 'Profiled Overshoot Boost' speeds up the cycle and minimize over-processing of media loads.

F. Air Ballast :

Especially useful for fluid cycles. Provides controlled reduction of chamber pressure during the cooling phase, effectively preventing the 'boiling over' of bottled fluids that is frequently associated with rapid cooling systems.

Cooling Options

G. Internal Convection Fan Cooling :

Fans are sited within the chamber itself, which create turbulence reducing cooling time greatly. Internal fan cooling in conjunction with an external cooling system is one of the most efficient ways of cooling the chamber.

H. Deluge Cooling :

This system also provides internal deluge heating which further reduces overall cycle times. (FOR USE ONLY IN CONJUNCTION WITH SEALED FLUID LOADS (E.G. BOTTLED MEDIA).

Essential options if Porous loads / Fabrics etc are being processed

I. Full Heated Jacket :

A stainless steel jacket which provides improved temperature distribution during sterilization. Drying efficiency is also enhanced. This option is therefore essential in situations where fabrics/ porous loads and wrapped instruments are being sterilized on a regular basis.

Additional Options

Multi Program Controller :

A multi-program controller which allows storage of up to 10 programs for added speed and versatility in sterilization procedures. Additional features on this option include a digital pressure display and a "menu" allowing the user to display and cross check all programs at the press of a button. If the optional data printer (AAR100) is fitted, this may be printed out.

Option for CATIII Compliance :

Steam enters the chamber through the drain which is sealed during the cycle ensuring all condensate is sterilized. A bacterial retentive filter fitted onto the exhaust ensures nothing leaves the chamber without being sterilized. The positioning of the filter ensures that it is sterilized during every cycle.

Exhaust Heat Exchange System :

An option to significantly reduce the temperature of the exhaust/waste in situations where heat resistant drains are not present. N.B. This option requires a mains water supply.

SPF Seal :

A bacteriological seal mounted on a special flange to enable a double door unit to be installed between a sterile and non sterile area.

5. Opposite Hand Door Option :

Standard Machine has hinges on left hand side. If hinges are required on right hand side this must be specified at time of ordering as option cannot be retrofitted.

Steam Generator Related Options

Water Softener - Single Unit

Recommended to reduce the build up of limescale on heaters, pipework etc, and particularly recommended for units with steam generators. Requires salt. (Full details, including service requirements, available upon request).

Water Softener this unit includes a separate brine tank, allowing installation in di

fficult or restricted positions. Requires salt. (Full details, including service requirements, available upon request).

Blow-Down Vessel

(REQUIRED if customer does not have the facility to accept Blow Down of up to 6bar) This option allows the operator to blow, at high pressure, the contents of the Steam Generator into this specially designed tank. The regular action of blow-down reduces the built up dissolved solids, elongating the life span of the generator and it's heaters. In the absence of a blow down vessel, adequate, safe provision should be made for blowing down the steam generator as part of a planned preventative maintenance schedule.

this control system is an advance in sterilization control technology, bringing together years of unrivaled experience, to produce a user friendly, fully automatic control system, to meet and exceed the expectations of even the most demanding laboratories and centers of sterilization.

The controller consists of a wipe clean touch screen based on an industrial PLC controller, combined with a number of analogue and digital input/output modules.

The controller software has been developed for the precision control of autoclaves.

The code is split into well-defined blocks, each of which performs a specific function and has been written in high level language to allow maximum clarity.

Door :

The door release is interlocked by both temperature and pressure to ensure all residual pressure has completely and effectively vented to atmosphere before the doors can be opened. The door will retain its positions in the event of failure of any service. The door is thermally insulated to prevent the surface temperature presenting a hazard to operators. The surface temperature will not exceed IEC 61010 requirements. A cycle cannot start until the door is closed and locked. Steam cannot be applied to the chamber unless the door is closed and locked.

Interlocks :

Safety interlocks are provided, and are achieved by hardware, separate from and additional to the control system. All interlocks are configured to fail-safe and to provide a signal to the control system to indicate that normal operation has been prevented, and to terminate the current cycle. The interlock system is designed so that its function can be tested during routine maintenance. Safety related interlocks are either hard wired or piped. The following safety interlocks are provided:

• If the door is not closed, the steam supply to the chamber will be isolated.
• If the pressure in the chamber exceeds 0.15 bar the door will remain locked.
