INTENDED USE

The device is designed to be used in sanitary environments for the purpose of sterilizing non-heat sensitive
medical and surgical instruments. The process of disinfection is based exclusively on the thermal destruction of
the microorganisms present upon the instruments at a typical temperature of about 180º C.
Effectively reaching a sterile state for the instruments inserted into the sterilizers depends upon multiple factors:

 The level of initial contamination of the instruments (total bacterial load);
 The type of contaminating microorganisms;
 The permeability of all the contaminated instrument parts by the hot air produced by the sterilizer.

For more information see the paragraph **attention** ahead.

The device must be used only and exclusively by qualified personnel.

ORDINARY MAINTENANCE

Before initiating any maintenance operation, make sure that:

 the device is not connected to the power source.
 the device is at ambient temperature.

Keep the internal parts and the grid perfectly clean. Even though they may change colour and
become brownish, never use abrasive or inflammable products for cleaning them.
Keep the external parts perfectly clean that they have to be always specular to prevent corrosion and
dust.

PERIODIC MONTHLY MAINTENANCE

After removing the plug from the power socket, check that the fuses are not oxidised specially when
the device is not used for a long time or kept in a humid ambient.
The power socket should not change colour or oxidise. If that happens, replace it immediately.
The power cable must be integral and it should not show cuts, abrasions or bending.
The resistances and the internal electrical system do not require any maintenance.

PERMITTED USES

The device must be used to sterilize metal materials whose point of melting is higher than 300°C
(surgical instruments, plates, and metal screw).
Inside the sterilizer place only metal containers without plastic parts and without textile material.

FORBIDDEN USES

It is forbidden to place in the device items whose temperature of melting is lower than
300°C or it’s not known to the operator.

ACCESSORY PARTS

2 Internal shelves
1 Mains cable

SELLING OFF

SYMBOLS MEANING

Warning !

See the annexed documentation

Caution! Hot surface (max. 210 °C)

Laboratory tests following a cycle of 120 minutes at 180ºC on Bacillus subtilis var niger ATCC
9372 spores demonstrated the efficiency of the sterilizer.

Titanox does not guarantee and cannot ensure the effective achievement of the sterile state of the
instruments placed in the sterilizer, according to the definition of sterile medical instruments foreseen
by the EN 556 Norms. The user of the sterilizer therefore has the responsibility to conduct all of the
confirmation procedures of the sterilization process and the necessary verifications in order to ensure
the effective completion of every single sterilization cycle.

not enclosed or hindered, as to allow continuos and sufficient ventilation.

SAFETY WARNINGS

 The device is designed for use in internal locations.
 The device is not designed for use in presence of gasses or explosive vapours.
 No water or other liquids should be poured into device neither on its base.
 Before any cleaning or maintenance actions, the power cable must always first be removed.
 Make sure that the electrical system has electrical grounding and that it’s in conformity to the

safety norms in the country of installation.

 Do not remove any label or plate, in case of need, ask for more.
 Always insist on original spare parts.
 Do not open the door of the device until the thermometer of the internal temperature do not

indicate a temperature lower than 30°C.

 Medical devices, before being placed in the sterilizer, should be washed and dried. The residual

water steam may create deposits on the probes and resistances by altering the precision.

TIME – PROGRAMMED RUNNING

1. Insert the supplied connection socket of the mains cable in the plug of the device
(Pos. 4) and the feeder- plug in the wall mains socket, after checking the voltage value.

2. Turn the thermoregulator knob (Pos. 1) and set the desired temperature. This operation shall
always be carried out when device is cold.

3. Place materials to be sterilized inside the device.

4. Lock up the door (Pos. 8).

5. Set, by turning the timer knob (Pos. 2) anti-clockwise, the sterilization time adding necessary
time in order to bring the device and the material inside to the desired temperature. The

necessary time to reach the temperature of 180°C is about 30/40 minutes in case of empty
chamber sterilizer, and about 60 minutes with Loaded Chamber well arranged on the
trays. This operation switch on the warning light (Pos. 5) indicating that the device is working

and the warning light “resistance” (Pos. 6) indicating that the resistances are turned on in the
circuit. The graduated thermometer (Pos. 3) allows to check the progressive increase of the
internal temperature. When the internal temperature has reached the programmed value, the
warning light “resistance” (Pos. 6) is turned off for then, after brief time, again turned-on
indicating the re-connection of the resistances in the circuit. This operation allows to keep
inside the device a constant temperature up to the end of the sterilization cycle. After
programmed time has elapsed, the device turns itself off automatically.
In order to maintain an even temperature inside of the heating chamber and to allow a better
circulation of the air, the device is featured with a ventilation motor fan internally wired.

CONTINUOS -CYCLE RUNNING

The device has also a continuos-cycle running. For use this kind of running proceed up to point 4 of
the procedure for time-programmed running described above. Turn, at this moment, the timer knob
(Pos. 2) anti-clockwise. The indefinite-time manual continuos-cycle is inserted with a click. To turn
off the device, turn back the timer know to position 0.
