Process Operation of Autoclave

Empty ampoules are placed onto hopper of the machine from where it has been dropped to travelling rack in one/two/four/eight by format part. Ampoules advanced to nitrogen purging stations where inert gas needles flush nitrogen. Further ampoules moves to filling unit where filling needles discharge preset volume of liquid into ampoules. Then ampoules stop at post nitrogen unit where again nitrogen get flush inside the ampule. After filling of ampoules it reaches to the sealing unit which is having pre warming and sealing stations. Pre warming station is having less pressure flame which make ampoule warm up to sealing process. Specially designed rollers rotates ampoules at sealing unit for perfect sealing of ampoules all around. Sealing unit perform sealing operation of ampoules. At last ampoules get collected onto collection tray of the machine in upright position for further processing.

• Place the Autoclave and sterilizing material on the table or on the shelf.
• Make ready load which you want to sterilize.
• Twist the lid of the autoclave Anticlockwise and lift the lid.
• Fill water (appx. 1 liter) in the base chamber.
• Place the loaded Basket/Dressing Drum in the autoclave.
• Check that the rubber seal is in place and is in good condition.
• Put on the lid, press it down and turn it clockwise until it does not turn anymore.
• The sterilizer in the closed position will have both handles parallel and one above the other on either side.
• After few minutes steam will start generating and at 15±2 lb psi pressure the steam will come out strongly from the stopcock.
• Let the process go on and after 15minutes turn off the power and lift or pull out the Stopcock whistle/valve of the vent tube with forceps or piece of cloth.
• The whole steam will escape but it will be hot.
• Make sure that there is no steam left in the sterilizer and pressure gauge is also at Zero lb psi.
• Now open the autoclave lid by twisting it anticlockwise and lift the lid off the base chamber.
• Remove the rack/dressing drum from the autoclave and preserve them in a safe place.
• Remove all the water from the base chamber and close the autoclave by putting the lid on it clockwise.
• Put the stopcock whistle/valve back on the vent tube for next sterilization.
