Introduction

Quantim B

• This autoclave has been qualified to sterilize loads as defined by

prEN13060:1997*.

Cycle C1i; C1ii - Type ‘B’ cycles for wrapped, pouched, solid,
hollow instruments (length to diameter ratio 750:1- length may be
doubled for tubes open at both ends) and porous items.

Cycle C2i* - Type ‘S’ cycles unwrapped, unpouched, solid or
hollow instruments (length to diameter ratio no greater than 110:1

- length may be doubled for tubes open at both ends).

Cycle C2ii - Type ‘B’ cycle for Bowie Dick/Helix Steam Penetration
Test, or loads as defined for cycle ‘C2i’

Cycle C3; C4 - Type ‘N’ cycles for unwrapped, solid instruments.

• A ‘responsible person’ must qualify other loads as suitable.
Refer to ‘Additional Information’

• Maximum load per instrument tray is 2 kg. Refer to ‘Technical
Specifications’ for the maximum instrument load for the autoclave

• All instruments must be cleaned before sterilizing.

• Wrapped or pouched loads should not touch adjacent loads when
placed in the rack. Pouches must be used for only one item.

• When placing on a tray, ensure items are placed on the ribs of the
tray (to aid drainage), they do not touch each other, and the load
does not touch the other trays or chamber in any way.

• Always use the lifting device when removing trays from the
autoclave as they may be hot. Long trays should be supported at
their rear as they become free of the tray carrier. Do not use an
unprotected hand to hold hot trays.

Thank you for choosing the SciCan QUANTIM B autoclave.

All ‘Type B’ vacuum cycles on this autoclave use the triple pulse
fractionated vacuum system and are fitted with an active air leak
detection system.

Non-vacuum cycles use the thermodynamic air displacement system

Drying cycles employ a ‘closed door’ system

An ‘Auto-cycle Start’ option is included which allows the time of day
at which a selected cycle starts, to be programmed .

Before unpacking, refer to the ‘Manual Handling’ on page 9
