DESCRIPTION

Operational Features

The M11 UltraClave™ sterilizers . . .

• will begin a sterilization program cycle when a sterilization program is selected, the door is closed and fully latched, and the START switch is pressed.

• will automatically fill the chamber with water to the correct level once the

START switch is pressed.

• begin the cycle time countdown only after the proper pressure and temperature have been reached.

• automatically exhaust the steam pressure from the chamber and open the door slightly to facilitate drying upon completion of the sterilization phase.

• automatically starts a 30 minute drying phase. Items that do not require drying may be removed any time after the sterilization phase is complete. Ste-

rility of unwrapped items and moist wrappings is compromised on exposure to a non-sterile environment.

• will signal the operator that the drying phase and therefore the sterilization

6

program cycle is complete by sounding five audible “beeps”. The sterilizer may be switched to standby at this time or restarted if additional sterilization programs are desired.

Mechanical Features

The M11UltraClave™ sterilizers . . .

• have a tray rack which can hold two small and two large trays. The tray rack can be removed for periodic cleaning of the chamber, tray plate, tray rack, and filter.

• have an optional printer which provides a permanent record of actual exposure times and temperatures.

• have a removable power supply cord (100 and 230 VAC units only).

• have a two gaskets in the door; a dam gasket and a door gasket which can easily be replaced by operator in seconds.

Safety Features

The M11UltraClave™ sterilizers . . .

• have a

door stop

which prevents the door from opening fully if there is a slight residual pressure in the chamber when the door handle is operated.

The door stop also retains the door in a partially open position during the drying cycle.

• have a

door closed switch

which is used to signal the sterilizer that the door is completely closed. This switch is activated just as the door becomes fully closed. An audible signal will sound and the “Door Ajar” light will flash if the door is not fully closed.

• have a

water low indicator

which signals the operator if there is insufficient water to fill the chamber to the proper level. An audible signal will sound and the “Water Low” light will flash if the reservoir needs to be refilled with water.

• have their

chamber temperature monitored

during a cycle to prevent an overheat condition. If chamber temperature reaches or exceeds 146°C

(295°F), power to the sterilizer is cut off.

• have a

pressure relief valve

which opens to provide backup protection to reduce chamber pressure in the event that the chamber steam pressure exceeds the allowable limit. Released steam is directed out of the bottom of the unit’s cabinet. An access cover is located on the top cover for relief valve operational checks.

• have a

fault detection circuit

which monitors all functions of the sterilizer during a cycle. If a fault occurs during a cycle, the sterilizer monitoring circuitry will stop the cycle, sound an audible signal, and light a flashing error lamp.

Operation

Return To Table Of Contents

Recommended Steam Sterilization Monitoring Program

Physical monitors (temperature and pressure measuring devices) can be used to help detect failures in sterilizer function. The sterilizer notifies the user if sterilization conditions fall outside of established limits. It is recommended that the

Printer Accessory be used to create a record of each load’s actual cycle time, temperature, and pressure.

Process monitors, such as biological indicators and chemical indicators, should be included in each sterilization cycle. The process monitors detect whether the cycle parameters were delivered. Process monitors cannot establish that a processed item is actually sterile. If the monitors detect a failure, the user must determine the source of the failure. Failures could result from improper packaging, loading, or sterilizer malfunction. Follow the process monitor manufacturer’s instructions for proper selection, storage, use, and interpretation of their devices.

Follow the appropriate agency (state dental or medical board) for sterilization monitoring guidelines for your office. Additional information can also be obtained from CDC, AAMI, OSAP, and ADA regarding monitoring programs or other sterilization issues.

Sterilizer Preparation Before Operation

EQUIPMENT ALERT

Check the serial number label (1) on the back panel of the sterilizer to verify the voltage rating for the unit. Failure to do so could result in damage to the unit.

1. Locate the sterilizer and plug in its power cord in accordance with the Installation instructions contained earlier in this manual.

EQUIPMENT ALERT

Use only distilled or demineralized water. Normal tap water contains minerals, especially chlorides, which have corrosive effects on stainless steel. Failure to use distilled or demineralized water may cause serious deterioration and premature failure of the stainless steel chamber which could result in serious injury or death.

Guidelines For Loading Trays

Sterilizer loading is critical to effective sterilization.

Protective coverings designed to be used in steam sterilization processes should be used to help ensure that items retain sterility until used. A proper load for a sterilizer is determined by the number of items to be sterilized, their characteristics, and how they are prepared and positioned within the sterilizer. A single large item may be the maximum load for that type of item while the maximum load for very small items may contain hundreds of items. Large and small items can be included in the same load. The sterilization process will be effective if items are properly prepared and positioned, so they get adequate contact with steam for the correct amount of time.

The M11 sterilizers are equipped with two large and two small trays to maximize the number of items that can be processed at one time and provide separation for better steam flow and penetration. Four properly loaded trays, as noted in the chart on page 15 (two large and two small), is the maximum load for the

M11 sterilizers.

General Guidelines

• Sterilize jointed instruments in an open position.

• Place all containers so the opening allows steam to enter and air to leave the container (containers are usually positioned on their side or with the opening tilted slightly down).

• Pouch or wrap items to preserve sterility after processing. Use only protective coverings designed and recommended for use with steam sterilization.

• Do not wrap items too tightly. Steam penetration will be affected if an item has excessive wrapping.

• Do not stack trays on one another. Using Midmark’s standard tray rack and trays provides proper tray spacing.

• Position loads on trays with appropriate space between items. Adequate space is required between items to allow proper steam flow and drying.

• Place unwrapped items on a towel or absorbent paper.

• Vented liquid containers should not be filled to more than 75% of their capacity to allow for fluid expansion and to prevent overflow. Depending on the user’s desired results, many different container styles may be acceptable. Careful consideration of the liquid to be sterilized should guide the user in selection and use of appropriate containers and closures. Always consult the liquid and/or container manufacturer for information on sterilization.

Not recommended for sterilization of liquids intended for direct patient contact.

Loads Including Dental Handpieces and/or Instruments

NOTE

Dental handpieces should only be sterilized when placed in a pouch and in the POUCHES cycle. Only one handpiece should be placed in each pouch.

The maximum M11 load shall be nine handpieces (in the pouch rack) and 75 instruments. Other combinations of fewer handpieces and items can be processed in a single load if that allows for efficient sterilization. If a load surpasses these limits, we recommend dividing the load and running multiple cycles. Listed below are the maximum recommended loads for each tray:

WARNING

Do not use this sterilizer in an explosive or oxygen-rich atmosphere, or where flammable anesthetics are stored. To do so could result in an explosion or fire.

Do not use this sterilizer for sterilizing volatile substances or for any purpose other than its intended design. Burns and toxic or explosive conditions could result.

Clean and dry instruments before putting them into the sterilizer.

Incomplete and improper cleaning of instruments will impede sterilization and will result in unsterile instruments which could lead to personal injury or death.

If the sterilizer malfunctions, immediately unplug sterilizer. If the sterilizer continues to malfunction, call for service; do not attempt to repair the sterilizer yourself.

Do not force door handle at any time. Chamber pressure may cause door to open with extreme force. If the door handle does not move freely, allow unit to cool and depressurize for 40 minutes before opening door. Failure to adhere could result in serious personal injury or death.

EQUIPMENT ALERT

Do not use toweling or packaging which may contain chlorine bleach residue. Doing so could result in trays and/or chamber rusting or discoloring. In extreme cases, the life of the chamber may be significantly shortened.

NOTE

Use sterility monitors with each sterilization load. Also, if a sterilizing cycle is terminated prematurely, reprocess the instruments to ensure the sterility of the load.

OPERATOR MAINTENANCE

It is the responsibility of the user to establish a periodic maintenance procedure to assure correct operation of the equipment and reliable sterilization of the loads. Contact your local distributor or representative to develop a program for planned maintenance.

Daily

1. Clean External Surfaces — Wipe with a soft dry cloth and wash occasionally with a damp cloth and mild soap or detergent.

WARNING

Make sure that the unit is cool when cleaning the door gasket and any mating surfaces. Failure to do so could result in serious burns to hands.

2. Clean Sterilizer Door Gasket — Clean door gasket and mating surface with a damp cloth. Examine gasket for possible damage that could prevent a good sealing surface.

Weekly

EQUIPMENT ALERT

Do not use abrasive or bleaching agents in the chamber (i.e. steel wool, scouring powder, bleach, etc.). Also, never use a wire brush. If these materials are used, possible damage to the metal surfaces of the chamber and other components could result.

1. Clean Chamber and Trays — The sterilizing chamber and instrument trays should be cleaned weekly. First, drain the water from the reservoir. A drain tube is located on the front of the unit for draining. Wash the inside of the chamber and the trays with mild soap or Speed-Clean and distilled or demineralized water. Refill the reservoir with distilled or demineralized water.

Monthly

1. Flush the System — To protect the intricate parts of the unit, the system must be flushed once a month with Speed Clean Sterilizer Cleaner:
