Yingtai Autoclave: A Key Equipment for Ensuring Aseptic Environment

In the production of medical equipment and the operation of medical institutions, the medical sterilizer is a core equipment for safeguarding the aseptic environment, and its performance is directly related to medical safety and product quality. As a professional sterilizer manufacturer, we are well aware of the importance of correct use and maintenance of the equipment. The following details the operation points and daily maintenance methods for you.

When using the sterilizer, preparation work must be done first. Place the items to be sterilized in a standardized manner to ensure that the cold air in the sterilizer is fully discharged. If cold air remains, the sterilization temperature will not reach the set value, affecting the sterilization effect. Then set parameters according to the type of items: medical devices are usually sterilized at 121℃ and 103.4kPa pressure for 20-30 minutes, while glassware can be properly extended to 30-60 minutes. During the sterilization process, it is necessary to monitor the pressure and temperature curves in real time. If abnormal fluctuations occur, the equipment should be stopped immediately and faults should be checked.

Daily maintenance is crucial for extending the service life of the sterilizer. After each use, clean the residues in the sterilizer in a timely manner and rinse the sealing ring with clean water to avoid poor sealing caused by impurities. Check the accuracy of the safety valve and pressure gauge every week to ensure the normal operation of the pressure release system. Descaling the heating tube every month to prevent scale from affecting heating efficiency. In addition, it is recommended to conduct a comprehensive inspection by professionals every six months and replace aging parts to ensure that the equipment is always in the best condition.

It is worth noting that the sterilizer is a pressure vessel, and operators must receive professional training and strictly abide by the operating procedures. When the equipment is in operation, it is forbidden to open the door without permission. The door can only be opened after the pressure drops to normal pressure and the temperature drops below 80℃ to avoid scalding caused by high-temperature steam. Correct use and maintenance of the sterilizer can not only improve the sterilization efficiency, but also build a solid line of defense for medical safety.
