The various applications can be carried out using the autoclave’s standard programs. Additional options ensure more control over results and optimal, safe and repeatable sterilization processes. For special applications, our experienced team will customize a suitable method for you.

 

Control and Documentation

 

Control Features		Built in Printer
High precision control system for perfect sterilization results Password protection allows for secure access control Independent temperature and pressure monitoring Cycle information recovery in the case of power failure or cycle interruption Fail Alert – Indicates cycle failure or interruption Door Alert – Indicates the door is unlocked RS 232 PC Connection Port for direct software updates and remote maintenance		The laboratory line can be supplied with a built-in printer to document the   performed cycle, in addition to a comprehensive LCD display. This feature is optional.   ADMC Software The ADMC software allows complete control and monitoring of up to eight sterilizers. The software retrieves data, creates graphs, tables and print outs, controls the autoclave and shows real-time data.

Safety Features

Door Safety

• A safety device prevents the operator from opening the door when the chamber is pressurized
• Steam is not allowed to enter the chamber when the door is open
A cycle cannot start if the door is open or not properly locked
The door cannot unlock until liquid temperature reaches the predetermined end temp
The door cannot unlock until chamber pressure reaches room pressure
Temperature Activated Door Lock - The door will not open until the temperature is below a specified safe level

General Safety Features

Double Independent Monitoring: The combined electronic and mechanical monitoring guarantees accurate results. The operator has two independent means to monitor temperature and pressure.
Safety Valves: The chamber is equipped with safety valves – if the pressure exceeds the allowed limit the safety valves will discharge
Built-in Steam Generator Safety: A water level monitoring system maintains a constant water level and ensures safe operation of the heaters
