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 litres 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 (Dem 32 or Osmo) connected to point D2 at the back of the ste­rilizer (see § 4.5.1).
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/grey) 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 sterilizer (see § 4.6).

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 litres of distilled or demineralized water. Once the clean water tank is almost full, an audible
tone will sound; stop filling. Place the cap (1) to close the tank. Slide the tank cover back into its original position. Drain the used water tank (see § 5.5).
Every time you fill the clean water tank, drain the used water tank (see § 5.5).
If an automated water supply system is connected to the sterilizer (see §
4.5), the clean water tank automatically fills once the water level drops below the minimum level. An internal water conductivity sensor constantly monitors the water quality in regards to mineral content. Should the mineral content 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 left).
Water of low quality with high mineral contents can impair the sterilization process and seriously damage the internal components of the sterilizer. Damages caused by water of poor quality will not be covered by the manufacturer’s warranty. Once the non conform water 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, switch to a brand of better quality.
5.4 FILLING THE CLEAN WATER TANK
5.4.1 Manual filling
The water level in the clean water tank decreases during every sterilization cycle, while the water level in the used water tank is rising. The sterilizer is equipped with an internal water conductivity sensor that con­stantly monitors the water quality in regards to mineral content. Should the mineral content go beyond a maximum threshold (conductivity >15µS/cm), a warning message is displayed on the screen.

Select a cycle by pressing the "Cycle selection" icon and confirm the selection by pressing the "Se­lection confirmation" icon.
Once a cycle is selected and confirmed, the following screen informs about the maximum load weight lim­its that can be processed with the selected cycle (see cycle table § 7.1 for further information). Press the "Start cycle" icon to initiate the selected cycle.
NOTE:
If the “user authentication” option is activated, the user will be asked to identify themselves before starting the cycle. If the password protection is activated as well, a password will be requested. See §6.11 for further details.
NOTE:
To enjoy the full benefit of short cycle times when placing small loads, always place the load on the upper tray of the chamber rack and remove all other trays from the chamber. Ensure that the paper side of sterilization bags faces up.

7.1.2 ECO-Dry feature
The ECO-Dry feature is active whenever you initiate a sterilization cycle. The feature is designed to always automatically provide you with the shortest possible cycle times always, while assuring that any load placed in the sterilizer will be perfectly dry at the end of the cycle. The on-board sterilizer computer is able to determine the amount of the load you placed in the sterilizer chamber and will automatically adjust the cycle drying time to that specific load. That means the smaller the load, the faster the cycle, thus eliminat­ing the need for selecting a quick or a flash cycle. Place loads of 500 grams or less (e.g., up to 8 wrapped dental handpieces) to benefit from the shortest cycle time of just over 20 minutes. This feature helps you to save time, energy and money, and works fully automatic.

In the central part of the screen, a simplified cycle pressure profile is shown. As the cycle proceeds, a progress bar overwrites the completed cycle pressure profile, showing in real time the actual phase the cycle is in. If you press the "Info" icon, further technical parameters are displayed. The "Info" icon can be pressed at any time, also if there is no cycle in progress; it provides important infor­mation especially for service technicians.
7.1.4 End of cycle
Once the cycle is complete, the screen ap­pears as in the image aside.
To unlock the door press the “Unlock door” icon.
To view the parameters of the last cycle
press the “Info” icon before unlocking the
door.
NOTE:
If you do not open the chamber door at the end of the sterilization cycle (the sterilization load remains in the chamber), the sterilizer vacuum pump is activated for a few seconds every 10 minutes for a time period of 40-60 minutes to keep the load dry.
NOTE:
If the “user authentication” option is activated, the user will be asked to identify themselves before releasing the load. If the password protection is activated as well, a password will be requested. See §6.11 for further details. The name of the user who released the load will be saved on the memory card and printed on the cycle report.
ATTENTION! Load and trays will be hot at the end of the cycle! Use tray or cassette holders to remove the load.

APPENDIX 2 STERILIZATION LOAD PREPARATION
1. Cleaning the instruments
Thorough cleaning of all items prior to sterilization is imperative to ensure effective sterilization. If visible debris and bio-burden is not removed through cleaning prior to sterilization, it will interfere with microbial inactivation and compromise the sterilization process!
If possible, clean instruments immediately after use; always follow instrument manufacturer instructions. Remove all traces of disinfectants from the instruments as this may cause corrosion during the
sterilization process. Rinse and dry instruments thoroughly.
Lubricate dental handpieces after cleaning, prior to sterilization, in accordance with the handpiece
manufacturer’s instructions.
2. Preparing the trays
Do not overload the chamber; adhere to the maximum load weight limits as listed in “The available
sterilization cycles” in this manual.
Always use the chamber rack to allow adequate steam circulation. Place pouched items on trays with the paper side facing up. Do not overload trays; spread single items on multiple trays. Place cassettes in the vertical position (if possible) to enhance drying. Place empty containers or non-perforated trays upside down to prevent accumulation of water. Items made from different materials (stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminium, etc.) must be placed on
separate trays or wrapped/pouched.
If instruments are manufactured from carbon steel, paper should be placed between them and the
sterilizer tray. Sterilize hinged instruments (e.g., forceps, extraction pliers, etc.) in the opened position. Wrap items with porous wrapping materials to facilitate steam penetration and drying (e.g., sterilization
bags for autoclaves).
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 items
Sterilization bags should be placed on trays allowing adequate space
in-between bags.
62
Ensure that packs do not touch the sterilizer chamber walls. Place sterilization bags with the paper side facing up.
Page 67
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. Residual disinfectants on instruments 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.) that 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 dried (free from residues), it must be lubri­cated prior to sterilization. Follow manufacturer’s instructions 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 “Sterilization load
preparation” in the appendix section of this manual).

CAUTION: The packet will be hot! For correct interpretation of the test results, refer to the instructions of the
test pack manufacturer.
TEST PASSED
The entire sur­face of the indi­cator sheet has changed colour
TEST FAILED
Certain areas of the indicator sheet have not changed colour, e.g., the central part has not turned dark due to an air pocket in the center of the test pack
APPENDIX 4 BOWIE AND DICK TEST
The Bowie & Dick (B&D) Test device, also called Steam Penetration Test device, is representative of the small porous type load. It comprises several sheets of paper wrapped in a small packet in the middle of which there is a chemical heat-sensitive indicator sheet.
This test is used to validate the sterilizer performance in terms of textile load sterilization, that is:
Pre-vacuum efficiency and thus steam penetration Temperature and pressure parameters of saturated steam achieved during the plateau/holding time.
The Bowie & Dick test cycle profile is identical to the profile of the B UNIVERSAL 134 sterilization cycle, with the following differences:
The plateau period (PR) is shorter (3 minutes 30 seconds instead of 4 minutes), assuring a 30
seconds security margin.
The drying time is reduced to 4 min to not affect the chemical indicator through drying and to save
time. It is therefore normal that the test pack will be wet at the end of the test cycle.
How to carry out the test:
The test must be performed in an empty chamber (EN 13060) without load but with the standard
chamber accessories (chamber rack and trays) mounted. Place the Bowie & Dick test pack in the center of a tray in the lowest rack position. Select and initiate the Helix / B&D test cycle from the "Test cycles" submenu.
Once the cycle is finished, open the sterilizer door and remove the test pack.
Remove the indicator sheet from the center of the test pack and check the change in colour as ex-
plained below:
Any unexpected colour change, such as the center of the indicator sheet being paler or of a different colour than the edges, indicates that there was an air pocket present during the cycle due to sterilizer malfunction. If the test fails repeatedly call technical service. Follow local/national guidelines on the frequency of testing.

APPENDIX 5 HELIX TEST
The Helix Test device is representative of the type A hol­low load (EN 13060). It consists of a 1,500 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.
CAUTION: The test will be hot !
For correct interpretation of the test results, refer to the instructions of the test manufacturer.
PASSED
FAILED
The chemical indicator has turned dark.
Part of the chemical indicator has not turned dark; e.g. due to residual air inside the capsule.
Indicator strip
This test is used to validate the sterilizer performance in terms of hollow A load sterilization, that is:
Pre-vacuum efficiency; rapid and uniform steam penetration. Temperature and pressure of saturated steam achieved during the plateau/holding phase.
The Helix Test cycle profile is identical to the profile of the B UNIVERSAL 134 sterilization cycle with the following differences:
The plateau period (PR) is shorter (3 minutes 30 seconds instead of 4 minutes), assuring a 30
seconds security margin.
The drying time is reduced to 4 min to not affect the chemical indicator result through drying and to
save time.
How to carry out the test:
The test must be performed in an empty chamber (EN 13060) without load but with the standard
chamber accessories (chamber rack and trays) mounted. Place an indicator strip inside the capsule. See the test manufacturer instructions. Close the capsule. Place the Helix Test in the center of a tray in the lowest rack position. Select and start the B&D / HELIX test cycle from the “Test cycles” submenu.
Once the cycle is completed, open the sterilizer door and remove the test.
Remove the indicator strip from the capsule and check the change in colour as explained below:
Insufficient colour change of the indicator strip indicates that there was an air pocket present during the cycle due to sterilizer malfunction. If the test fails repeatedly call technical service. Follow local/national guidelines on the frequency of testing.

When performing a Vacuum Test, the sterilizer chamber must be completely dry and cold. By not following this instruction, the Vacuum Test might fail even if the sterilizer works properly.
APPENDIX 6 VACUUM TEST
Use this test to validate the performance of the sterilizer in terms of leakage. During the test the following is checked:
Efficiency of the vacuum pump. Tightness of the pneumatic circuit.
The cycle profile specific for this test includes:
A vacuum phase up to P1 (-0.87 bar). A stabilization period of 5 min.
=> T2. Reading of P2.
A testing period of 10 min.
=> T3. Reading of P3.
The microprocessor makes the following calculation: P3 - P2. The result must be less than 0.013 bar.
How to carry out the test:
Select and initiate the Vacuum Test cycle from the "Test cycles" submenu.
A display message will inform at the end of the test cycle if the test passed or failed. If the test failed, check, clean or replace the door gasket, clean the chamber face side and repeat the test. If the test fails repeatedly call technical service. Follow local/national guidelines on the frequency of testing.

The use of water with a conductivity greater than 15µS/cm may affect the steriliza-
tion 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.
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
If the sterilizer generates a display message in regards to poor 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.
