2 TECHNICAL DATA
2.1 Introduction
This tabletop autoclave is designed for the sterilization of wrapped and
unwrapped instruments and related items found in dental, medical and
This autoclave is an electrically heated sterilizer using steam as the

sterilizing agent. It is a manually operated device, with a control
system based upon steam pressure.
of 212ºF - 273ºF (100ºC - 134ºC). This allows for the sterilization of
heat sensitive material at a low sterilization temperature, as well as
providing for faster sterilization at higher temperatures for materials
able to withstand the higher sterilization temperatures.
ruggedly built using 316L stainless steel, copper, brass and aluminum.
To guard against rusting, no iron components are used. All models
include a drying system for wrapped items.
2.1.1 Safety features
The safety features include a double locking door
mechanism (door tightening bolt and locking bellows), a
mechanical pressure relief valve, over temperature
thermostats and a double pole circuit breaker.
Pressure Door Lock System (Door Bellow)
The Door Bellows is a safety device that prevents the door
from opening when the chamber is pressurized.
The system utilizes the buildup of pressure in the chamber
to expand a flexible Silicon-rubber bellows. The bellows
pushes a metal pin into a grove on the tightening bolt of the
Door Closing Device.
This prevents the operator from opening the door when
there is pressure in the chamber. When the steam is
released, this bellow returns to its original position, drawing
the pin with it and releasing the tightening bolt.
understanding of the instrument and the best ways to operate and take
care of it, in order to obtain optimum effective results.
However, since this instrument is built with high technology sensitive
components, no attempt should be made by the user or any other
unauthorized person to repair or recalibrate it.
technical documentation (including a technician manual) and
adequate information are authorized to service the apparatus.
