7.4 Sterilisation chipcard
For decontamination, the incubator is
equipped with a STERICard as standard
( Fig. 26 ). The STERICard starts an
automatic and predetermined sterilisa-
tion sequence.
Warning!
The incubator becomes
very hot inside during
the sterilisation proce-
dure. Do no open the
door.
Caution:
The sterilisation programme is not
intended for sterilising the chamber
load, but only for sterilising the inte-
rior of the appliance. The incubator
is not a steriliser with respect to the
Law on Medical Devices.
Make sure that the chamber is empty before the sterilisation procedure is started. Sliding
shelves and removed water trays may also be sterilised.
To activate,the STERICard, insert it into the chip card reader (see page 10 ) on the operating
panel of the appliance and select the Start icon with the push-turn control while the SET
key is held down.
As soon as the sterilisation procedure has been enabled, the automatic sterilisation procedure
begins:
Ramp 1: Heating up to 160 °C
Ramp 2: Hold time 4 hours (after setpoint temperature has been reached)
Ramp 3: Cooling down to 70 °C
Ramp 4 Wait time of 10 minutes
The automatic sterilisation programme cannot be changed.
After the sterilisation has been completed, STERILISATION OK is shown in the controller display.
For documentation purposes, the sterilisation procedure is logged on the STERICard and can
be read out with a computer/laptop.
