3.4 DESCRIPTION OF THE INTERNAL WATER TANKS

The sterilizer is equipped with two independent water tanks, one for clean water and one for used water (capacity of 3.5 liters each).

The tank on the right side is called "clean water tank" and has to be filled with distilled or demineralized water required for the sterilization process. It is fitted with a minimum (0.6l) and a maximum (3.5l) water level sensor. The tank can be filled manually through the tank hole on the top of the sterilizer or automatically with an external water supply system (LisaDem 32 or LisaOsmo) connected to point D2 at the back of the sterilizer (see § 4.5).

Use the quick connector behind the service door (left/blue) to drain the clean water tank for cleaning purposes (see chapter on maintenance).

The tank on the left side is called "used water tank" and contains the used water collected at the end of each sterilization cycle. It is fitted with a maximum water level sensor (3.5l).

Use the quick connector behind the service door (right/gray) to drain the used water tank (see chapter on maintenance).

The used water tank can also be drained automatically by connecting a drain tube to the D4 fitting located at the back of the unit (see § 3.3 and § 4.6).

NOTE:

The water consumption per sterilization cycle varies depending on the type and weight of the sterilization load. The capacity of the clean water tank is sufficient to run 8 - 12 sterilization cycles.

- Switch on the printer by pressing the main interrupter on the right-hand side.

- Select the type of printing (automatic or manual) and other options in the sterilizer sub-menus.

- After installation, the printer automatically carries out calibration to obtain the format of the labels used. For this to take place, the label printer must be connected, switched ON with the label roll and ribbon inserted. Access the setup menu, select the label printer option, and select the printer model to be used (see 6.1.4).

Carry out the selection procedure to calibrate the printer, even if the printer is already set to the correct model.

During calibration, the printer may use up a few labels, but this is perfectly normal and these labels can be disposed of.

If the calibration process has not been carried out correctly or it has been carried out correctly but the label format does not correspond to that selected for the application, the printer may present anomalies during printing such as blocking, leaving blank labels or printing only partial information etc.

4.5 DEMINERALIZER (optional)

W&H Sterilization offers external water supply systems for automated supply of demineralized water to the sterilizer(s) (LisaDem32 or LisaOsmo). Once installed, the clean water tank no longer needs to be filled manually but will be filled automatically with demineralized water. The LisaDem32/LisaOsmo utilize resin cartridges to remove minerals from city water to assure a constant good water quality for the sterilization process.

4.5.1 Connecting an external water supply system (demineralizer)

To install a LisaDem32/LisaOsmo water supply system, an interface cable and the fittings D2 and D4 located at the back of the sterilizer are used.

For more information, refer to the LisaDem32/LisaOsmo user manuals.

4.6 CONTINUOUS DRAINING (optional)

4.6.1 Connecting the drain tube

5.4 FILLING OF THE CLEAN WATER TANK

5.4.1 Manual filling

Use only high quality distilled or demineralized water (see Appendix 7).

• Slide the tank cover to the right to access the clean water tank inlet.

• Remove the cap (1) from the tank inlet.

• Insert the funnel and fill the clean water tank

with app. 3.5 liters of distilled or demineralized water.

• Once the clean water tank is almost full, an audible tone will sound. You can add some more water but make sure that water does not overflow.

• Place the cap (1) to close the tank.

• Slide the tank cover back into its original posi-

tion.

• Drain the used water tank.

The water level in the clean water tank decreases during every sterilization cycle, while the used water tank level is rising. The sterilizer is equipped with an internal water conductivity sensor that constantly monitors the water quality. Should the water quality go beyond a maximum threshold (>15µS/cm conductivity), a warning message is displayed on the screen.

Every time you fill the clean water tank drain the used water tank (see § 5.5).

5.4.2 Automated water supply (optional)

If an automated water supply system is connected to the sterilizer (see § 4.5), the clean water tank gets automatically filled once the water level drops below the minimum level.

An internal water conductivity sensor constantly monitors the water quality. Should the water quality go beyond a maximum threshold (>15µS/cm conductivity as defined by the European Norm EN

13060), a warning message is displayed on the screen (see screenshot to the right).

Water of low quality can impair the sterilization process and seriously damage the internal components of the sterilizer. Damages caused by poor water quality will not be covered by the manufacturer’s warranty. Once this message is displayed, check the water source (refer to the water supply system user manual; replace resin cartridges etc.). In case distilled or demineralized water is purchased from the market, switch to a brand of better quality.

5.5 DRAINING OF THE USED WATER TANK

When the waste water in the used water tank reaches the maximum level, the following message is displayed:

6.1.4 Label printer (available with LisaSafe option)

This menu allows labels to be printed. Select the printer using the scroll icons. Press the confirm icon to confirm your choice.

Note

: - This printing function requires a software superior or equal to version "00.12.xx.xx.xx.xx". Contact

your supplier if a software upgrade is necessary.

- Selecting “No printer” prevents label printing even if the label printer is connected and switched on.

- The selection of this option could initiate calibration whereby the printer obtains the format of the labels used ( see 4.4)

6.1.5 Automatic printing (available with LisaSafe option)

In this menu it is possible to select the number of stickers to be automatically printed at the end of each cycle without having to intervene each time. Increase or decrease the desired quantity using the scroll icons. Press the confirm icon to confirm your selection.

For example: 4: 1 sticker each for 3 cassettes and a fourth for the cycle log-book. Automatic printing only takes place if the sterilization cycle has been successful, therefore it is not to be

considered an anomaly if labels are not printed at the end of a test cycle or cycle stopped manually or terminated incorrectly. If more labels are required, they can be printed by entering the “Cycle history” menu (see 6.3)

6.1.6 Manual printing (available with LisaSafe option)

If it is preferred to print labels after having checked the load (after opening the sterilizer door) it is possible to set the manual print option.Select the option using the scroll icons. Press the confirm icon to confirm the selection.

This option allows a label printing screen to appear immediately after opening the door without having to access the cycle history (see 6.3).

The label printing screen only appears if a sterilization cycle has ended correctly, therefore it is not an anomaly if the screen is not displayed after opening the door at the end of a test cycle or at the end of a sterilization cycle interrupted manually or terminated incorrectly.

If extra labels are required, they can be printed by entering the “Cycle History” menu (see 6.3).

6.1.7 Storage time/weeks (available with LisaSafe option)

If it is planned to store the sterilized load for a maximum period, it is possible to insert a set storage time in this screen and automatically obtain the information relative to the expiry date on the label.

If the set time is equal to zero, no expiry date is shown in the on the label

If the set time (in weeks) is different to zero, the expiry date is automatically calculated according to the cycle start date

NOTE: The expiry date appears only when a cycle has terminated successfully, therefore it is not con-

sidered an anomaly if the expiry date is missing and replaced by the cycle outcome in the case of test cycles or sterilization cycles interrupted manually or that have ended incorrectly.

The setting of a storage time only has effect on the cycles performed thereafter, and does not

have any effect on the cycles that have already been carried out.

Use a storage time in conformity with the recommendations of the manufacturers of the devices

to be sterilized and of the containers/packaging used, and according to the current norms.

7. RUNNING A STERILIZATION CYCLE

7.1 THE AVAILABLE STERILIZATION CYCLE PROGRAMS

The following table shows the variety of sterilization cycles available and the different type of loads that can be processed in the sterilizer. In total there are 3 type B sterilization cycles; 2 cycles offer the ECO-B option (fast type B cycle for a limited load weight; see § 7.1.2).

B-UNIVERSAL 134

This cycle is a type B sterilization cycle (suitable for all types of loads; solid, porous, hollow A and B; unwrapped, bagged, single or double wrapped) that features a pre-vacuum phase, a plateau time (sterilization or holding time) of 4 minutes at a temperature of 135.5°C and a post vacuum drying phase. See the table on the following page for further details.

B-PRION 134

at a temperature of 135.5°C and a post vacuum drying

phase. See the table on the following page for further details.

B-UNIVERSAL 121

This cycle is a type B sterilization cycle (suitable for all types of loads; solid, porous, hollow A and B; unwrapped, bagged, single or double wrapped) that features a plateau time (sterilization or holding time) of 15 minutes at a temperature of 122.5°C and a post vacuum drying phase. The cycle is primarily designed for loads that do not withstand temperature levels of

135.5°C. See the table on the following page for further details.

ECO-B OPTION

When selecting a “B-UNIVERSAL 134” or a “B-PRION 134” cycle, you have the option to initiate an “ECO-B” cycle instead. The “ECO-B” cycle features the same sterilization parameters as the “B-UNIVERSAL 134” or “B-PRION 134” cycles with a shorter drying time. The “ECO-B” cycle is designed for small loads only. See the table on the following page for further details.

All available sterilization cycles feature the same pressure profile as shown in the graph below. Only the duration of the plateau time (sterilization or holding time), drying time and the sterilization temperature vary. The “ECO-B” option shortens the drying time (for small loads only).

11.1). Inadequate or inappropriate maintenance can lead to frequent malfunctions and expensive repairs and may void the manufacturer’s warranty.

9. ALARMS

Lisa sterilizers constantly monitor a variety of parameters during the sterilization cycle to assure a proper sterilization of the load. In case any of the parameters is off, potentially affecting the sterilization efficiency, the cycle is immediately interrupted and an alarm message is displayed.

Once the sterilizer generates an alarm message, a twominute reset phase starts to drain the pneumatic circuits and to bring the chamber back to atmospheric pressure.

At the end of the reset phase, the door can be unlocked by pressing the “Unlock door” icon. The screen will display the type of alarm that was generated and indicate the condition of the sterilization load. Refer to § 10 for alarm-code troubleshooting.

If an alarm message is generated before the sterilization/plateau phase (PR) of the sterilization cycle is completed, the following message will be displayed:

!! Load not sterile !!

If an alarm message is generated after the completion of the sterilization/plateau phase of the sterilization cycle (e.g. during the drying phase), the following message will be displayed:

!! Sterile conditions achieved, drying interrupted !!

Both messages are printed or saved on the memory card (optional for 300 Series).

APPENDIX 2 STERILIZATION LOAD PREPARATION

1. Cleaning the instruments

The instruments to be sterilized must be clean, dry and free from any residue such as fragments, dentine, blood, etc. These substances can damage the objects placed in the sterilizer, the sterilizer itself and may prevent the achievement of sterile conditions of the load.

− Clean the instruments immediately after use. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions (e.g. when using an ultrasonic cleaner).

− Remove all traces of disinfectants from the instruments as this may cause corrosion during the sterilization process. Rinse and dry instruments thoroughly.

− Lubricate rotating instruments in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

2. Preparing the trays

- For each program, do not exceed the maximum load weight limits that have been set, tested

and validated by the manufacturer (see § 7.1).

− Always use the chamber rack to allow adequate steam circulation between the trays.

− Do not overload the trays.

− Leave a gap/space between sterilization bags to allow steam to circulate properly.

− Position sterilization bags with the paper side facing up.

− Empty containers or non-perforated trays must be placed upside down to prevent accumulation

of water.

− Items made from different materials (stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminum, etc.) must be bagged or placed on separate trays.

− Where instruments are manufactured from carbon steel, paper should be placed between them and the sterilizer tray.

− Sterilize instruments with joints (e.g. forceps, extraction pliers, etc.) in the open position.

− In the case of wrapped items, use porous packaging (e.g. sterilization bags for autoclaves) to

facilitate good steam penetration and drying. Position bags with the paper side facing up.

3. Tubes

− Rinse, drain and dry after washing.

− Place tubes on a tray allowing the ends to remain open. Do not bend tubes.

4. Wrapped / bagged material

- Leave a minimum space between the packages.

- Ensure that packages do not make contact with the steriliza-

tion chamber.

- Position sterilization bags with the paper side facing up.

Paper side up

APPENDIX 3 MAINTENANCE OF DENTAL HANDPIECES

1. External disinfection

This procedure reduces the risk of infection during cleaning and maintenance of the instrument.

− Wear protective gloves during disinfection.

− Refer to the instructions of the instrument manufacturer.

− Avoid using abrasive disinfectants (ph-value 2.5 – 9; no chlorine based disinfectants).

− We recommend the use of disinfectant wipes rather than spray disinfection.

− Do not immerse instruments in disinfectants.

Leftover disinfectants can cause extensive damage to your instrumentation during sterilization (oxidation, alteration of technical characteristics of seals, rubbers, fiber optics, etc.)

2. External cleaning

This procedure involves the removal of residues (blood, dentine, etc.), which adhere to critical areas such as spray outlets, light ports, knurling etc.

− Wear protective gloves during cleaning.

− Refer to the instructions of the instrument manufacturer.

− Use a soft, damp brush and take care not to scratch the surface of the light ports.

3. Lubrication

Once the instrument has been disinfected, cleaned and is dry (free from residues), it must be lubricated before, and not after sterilization.

Follow manufacturer’s instruction for proper lubrication.

4. Packaging

In order to preserve sterility, rotating instruments should be wrapped prior to sterilization. Follow the manufacturer’s packing instructions when using sterilization packaging (also see Appendix 2 “Sterilization Load Preparation”).

APPENDIX 4 BOWIE & DICK TEST

The Bowie & Dick (B&D) Test, also called Steam Penetration Test, is representative of the small porous type load. It comprises several sheets of paper and foam wrapped in a small packet in the middle of which there is a chemical heat-sensitive indicator strip (physic-chemical test).

This test is used to validate the equipment performance in terms of textile load sterilization, that is:

- Pre-vacuum efficiency and thus steam pene-

tration

- Temperature and pressure parameters of

the saturated steam achieved during the plateau/holding time.

The Bowie & Dick Test cycle profile is identical to the ones of the B-UNIVERSAL 134 and the BPRION 134 cycles with the following differences:

- The sterilization plateau is 3 minutes 20

seconds guaranteeing a 30 seconds security margin.

- The drying time is reduced to 4 min to not

affect the chemical indicator result through drying.

How to carry out the test:

- The test must be performed in an empty chamber (EN 13060) without load but with the standard fur-

niture (chamber rack and trays).

- Place the Bowie & Dick test pack in the center of the lower tray of the chamber.

- Select and start the Helix / B&D cycle from the "Test cycles" submenu.

- Once the cycle is finished, open the door and remove the test.

CAUTION: The packet will be hot!

For correct interpretation of the test results, refer to the instructions of the test manufacturer.

- Remove the chemical indicator from the center of the pack.

APPENDIX 5 HELIX TEST

The Helix Test is representative of the type A hollow load (EN 13060). It consists of a 1500 mm long tube that is open on one side and closed with a capsule on the other side. An indicator strip is placed inside of the capsule.

This test is used to validate the equipment performance in terms of hollow A load sterilization, that is:

- Pre-vacuum efficiency, rapid and uniform steam

penetration.

- Temperature and pressure of the saturated

steam achieved during the plateau/holding time.

The HELIX Test cycle profile is identical to the ones of the B-UNIVERSAL 134 and the B-PRION 134 cycles with the following differences:

- The sterilization plateau is 3 minutes 20 sec-

onds guaranteeing a 30 seconds security margin.

- The drying time is reduced to 4 min to not af-

fect the chemical indicator result through drying.

How to carry out the test:

− The test must be performed in an empty chamber (EN 13060) without load but with the standard furniture (rack and trays).

− Place a test strip inside the capsule. See the test manufacturer instructions.

− Close the capsule.

− Place the test in the center of the lower tray in the chamber.

− Select and start the Helix / B&D cycle from the “Test cycles” submenu.

APPENDIX 7 WATER QUALITY

W&H Lisa sterilizers use distilled or demineralized water to generate steam for the sterilization process. Water quality sensors constantly monitor the quality of the water used for sterilization as water of too high mineral content can seriously damage the sterilizer and impair the sterilization process.

The total mineral content of water used for sterilization has to be lower than 10 ppm (parts per million) or if a conductivity meter is used to check the water quality, the conductivity has to be lower than 15 µs/cm.

The table below lists the water quality to be used for steam sterilization (see EN 13060 APPENDIX C).

Contaminants of feed water

Values Evaporate residue < 10 mg/l Silicon oxide, SiO2 < 1 mg/l Iron < 0,2 mg/l Cadmium < 0,005 mg/l Lead < 0,05 mg/l Rest of heavy metals, excluding iron, cadmium, lead < 0,1 mg/l Chloride < 2 mg/l Phosphate < 0,5 mg/l Conductivity (at 20°C) < 15 µs/cm pH value 5 - 7 Appearance colorless, clean, without sediment Hardness < 0,02 mmol/l

If the sterilizer generates a display message in regards to low water quality, check the water source (refer to the water treatment system user manual; replace resin cartridge etc.). In case distilled or demineralized water is purchased from the market, switch to a brand of better quality.

The use of water with a conductivity greater than 15µS/cm may affect the sterilization

process and damage the sterilizer (EN 13060). A conductivity greater than 50µS/cm may strongly affect the sterilization process and seriously damage the sterilizer.

The use of water for steam generation with contaminants at levels exceeding those

listed in the table above, can greatly shorten the working life of the sterilizer and void the manufacturer's warranty.
