2. General Information
2.1 Introduction
This autoclave is a pre-vacuum sterilizer having the following features;
 An air removal stage (pre-vacuum), before starting the sterilizing stage.
 A post-sterilization drying phase, based on the combined operation of
heat and vacuum with air inlet pulses.
In order to improve the efficiency of the vacuum pump – capability and
speed– a heat exchanger is installed on the outlet piping of the chamber.
The steam and condensate evacuated from the chamber passes through a
cooling coil immersed in the water reservoir.
The advantages of the pre-vacuum sterilizer are as follows:
 Removal of air pockets from packs and porous load and most kinds of
hoses (rubber, plastic etc.) by vacuum at the first stage of the cycle.
 Better steam penetration into the load; resulting in effective
sterilization.
 Better temperature uniformity.
 Better drying of materials due to the vacuum achieved in the chamber
at the end of the sterilization cycle.
A printer is an optional addition to the autoclave. The printer prints the
preset and actual parameters of the cycle (temperature, time and pressure/
vacuum).
This Technician’s Manual, together with the User & Service Manual, forms the
complete set of Operation and Maintenance instructions for the Sting 11
autoclave. This manual is intended for the Technician only.
Since this instrument is built with high technology sensitive components, no
attempt should be made by the user or any other unauthorized person to
repair or recalibrate it.
Only technical personnel having proper qualifications and holding
technical documentation (included in this technician manual) and
adequate information are authorized to service the device.

5.2.5.4 Calculation explanation
To understand how the measurement is done, the following is a brief
explanation of The Temperature and Pressure measurement modules.
The Pressure module contains:
 4-20 mA Pressure sensor
 Electrical analog interface.
 ADC module (Analog to Digital converter).
 Microcontroller.
 Software module.

1) 4-20 mA Pressure sensor


Electrical interface connected to ADC
Connection to the pressure source
The pressure sensor is connected to a pressure source and is changing
current through two wires connected to it according to the source pressure.
The current is linear and proportional to the measured pressure.
The following graph describes linear behavior of the sensor by electrical
current as a function of pressure.

2) Electrical analog interface:


In order to measure the current in the sensor's wires, this interface converts
the current, ranging between 4-20 mA, to equivalent voltage. The interface
is built of resistors, capacitors and amplifiers. The electrical analog interface
is shown in the following graph.

After current sampling in the ADC, the binary value is passed to the
Microcontroller and different tests and manipulations are implemented
upon it using the software.

3) ADC module (Analog to Digital converter).
The ADC module converts given voltage to numerical value. This raw value
is stored in 12 bit register and its range may be from 0 to 4096. The value is
proportional to sensor's current 4-20 mA and represents measured pressure.

4) Microcontroller (μC)
The microcontroller is controlling the device. This component includes a
Central Processing Unit (CPU) and different inputs and outputs and it is
capable of controlling the entire system using software which is burned to its
memory. The Microcontroller runs the software and processes device's I/O
(inputs-outputs). The raw value given by ADC module is sampled by the
microcontroller every 10 milliseconds.
The microcontroller runs software which calculates and converts the raw
value to pressure value given in required units (kPa, BAR or PSI).
The microcontroller is using calculated pressure value to control the device
and show it on the display. Since the sensor’s linear behavior is given, we
can determine its slop (Gain) and its intersection with the Temperature axis
(Offset), as we wish. The determination enables us to create a reference
graph to the samples received from the ADC.

5) Software Module
The software converts the raw value to the calibrated pressure value in
required units. The software is divided to procedures:
Converts raw value given in ADC register (0-4096), to Pressure value in kPa
units, by using Gain & Offset values given by calibration process.
Converts pressure value from kPa units to required pressure value in BAR or
PSI units. The conversion of Raw Value to Pressure Value is performed
according to the following formula:
PressureValue = RewValue * Gain + Offset

PT-100 Temperature Sensor Mechanism
The PT-100 Temperature Sensor mechanism is constructed of several
elements and processes:
1) PT-100 Temperature Sensor
2) An Analog electrical interface, which links between the Analog to
Digital Converter (ADC) and the sensor
3) Analog to Digital Converter (ADC)
4) Microcontroller which receives the values sampled in the ADC.
5) Processing and filtering samples using Software.

1) PT-100 Temperature Sensor


A sensor made of 2 metal wires, connected at one tip to each other using
platinum, and at the other tip to an electrical interface. The measurement
of resistance upon these wires while the environment temperature is 0ºC is
100.
As much as the temperature rises, the conductor's resistance raises.
This sensor's advantage is in its linear behavior, in a way which enables to
determine the temperature change around the conductor according to its
arising/decreasing resistance.
The following graph describes this behavior:

Fig. 27- Temperature Sensor Graph

PT-100 Temperature Sensor

Fig. 28- PT-100 Temperature Sensor

2) Analog electrical interface between the ADC and the PT-100 sensor
In order to measure the PT-100 sensor's resistance, a simple conversion from
resistance to voltage is done. This conversion is made in order to enable
measurement using the popular ADC.

Calibration is the process of establishing the relationship between a


measuring device and the units of measure.

Calibration can be called for:


A new instrument
When a specified time period has elapsed
When a specified usage (operating hours) has elapsed
When an instrument has had a shock or vibration which potentially
may have put it out of calibration
Whenever observations appear questionable

Page 40 of 127
Software pipeline
Before the value is ready for control and display, it goes through two stages:
the first it is the filter, performed by the software, and the second is applying
gain offset formula.

Raw Value in Noise filtering


the A/D Noise filtering and
Applying gain
register and averaging averaging
and offset

Fig. 32- Software stages

The first stage – filtering.


The software filter is used as an additional filter to help the hardware reduce
electromagnetic noise which affects the A/D channel.
The raw value has been read from the A/D register (12 bit) 16 times to array.
This is performed very fast in a single loop; this operation takes a few
milliseconds. Then, the highest and the lowest values are thrown and the
average value is calculated from the rest.

The second stage – applying gain offset formula.


Applying the gain & offset formula on A/D average value, provides us the
final value – temperature [°C] or pressure [kPa].
The formula is: Y = aX+b

Analog Value = A/D converter read * Gain + Offset


When Gain and Offset are constant values that represents hardware A/D
converter chain.
This calibration method is used with linear A/D channels only.
For example, when measuring with PT100 temperature sensor, if the Raw
Value is X = 2048; Gain is a = 0.041465 and the Offset is b = 5.842113.
The Temperature is:
2048 * 0.041465 + 5.842113 = 90.762°C

Page 41 of 127
Calculating new Gain and Offset by two points
Since the linearity error in our systems is negligible, we assume the sensor is
linear. To perform two points calibration we need a reference – calibrated
measurement equipment which represents the value in the same units.

Fig. 33- Calculation graph

The drawing above shows two linear lines which represent the current value
(Read ------) and the right value (Actual _____). The read value is the value
that is shown on the device which is calibrated and the 'Actual' value is the
value which is represented by reference measurement equipment. The
"calculation by two points" method allows us to fix the 'Read' value to
'Actual' by calculation new gain and offset values.

Calculation new gain:


NewGain = (fOldGain / (ReadHigh - ReadLow)) * (ActualHigh - ActualLow)
NewGain = (0.041465 / (310 – 90)) * (300 – 100)
NewGain = 0.0376954

Calculation new offset:


NewOffset = ActualHigh - NewGain / OldGain * (ReadHigh - OldOffset)
NewOffset = 300 – 0.0376954 / 0.041465 * (310 - 5.842113)
NewOffset = 23.49323

If the low point of the raw value is:


RawValLow = (AnalogValueLow – OldOffset) / OldGain
RawValLow = (90 - 5.842113) / 0.041465
RawValLow = ~ 2030

Page 42 of 127
And the High point of the raw value is:
RawValHigh = (AnalogValueHigh – OldOffset) / OldGain
RawValHigh = (310 - 5.842113) / 0.041465
RawValHigh = ~ 7335

This means that the new Analog Value low point will be:
NewAnalogValueLow = RawValLow * NewGain + NewOffset
NewAnalogValueLow = 2030 * 0.0376954 + 23.49323
NewAnalogValueLow = 100.01 -> 100 kPa

And new Analog Value high point will be:


NewAnalogValueHigh = RawValHigh * NewGain + NewOffset
NewAnalogValueHigh = 7335 * 0.0376954 + 23.49323
NewAnalogValueHigh = 299.99 -> 300 kPa

This example is using the Pressure Sensor. The same method is used for the
temperature sensor (or all other sensors which are defined as linear).

The calibration method enables to introduce these data into the system in
order to perform the automatic correction of the OFFSET and GAIN. It is
recommended to find the two points, which have to be fed to the system,
before performing the calibration.
1. Browse the calibration list using the UP and DOWN keys and select the
required:
a. Read.H: - Read high value of the analog input.
b. Act. H: - Actual high value of the analog input.
c. Read.L: - Read low value of the analog input.

6.30 Replacing the micro switches of the door locking device
The door system is automatic and based on a screw-type locking device.
The device consists of a turning screw and a nut, while the screw is making
the connection by means of trapezoidal thread.
The closing device prevents an incidental opening of the door if there is
pressure inside the chamber. To do so, a pressure switch is assembled inside
the unit, which opens a mechanical contact, so the motor's power supply
gets cut if there is any pressure inside the vessel. The trapezoidal thread is
constructed in a way that it is self-closing, so it cannot release from any
types of tearing. The opening of the door can be done electrically only, in
case of power fail, the user can’t open it without a special opening tool.
The door system includes:
 Mechanical locking (a nut which can rotate slightly between at an
angle and a screw)
 Self-closing trapezoidal thread
 Micro switch which indicates that the door is in closed position
 Micro switch which starts the motor run
Do not force to open the door – force will only damage the autoclave
and can cause loss of guarantee!
Explanation:
First the door triggers the pin near the upper hinge, which starts the motor to
operate just before the nut reaches the screw. In the next step, the operator
must press the close door icon on the screen. The motor starts to pull the
door in, until the door closed micro switch is actuated by the pin that is on
the front panel by the screws upper side. When steam is introduced inside
the vessel, the pressure switch gets actuated and thus releases a normally
closed connected serial to the motors power supply, so the electricity is cut
from the motor. Since the threads are designed to be self-closing, there
cannot be torn from any force nor from the pressure.
The motor is only operable if the vessel has atmospheric pressure (see para.
3.5- Setting Atmospheric pressure parameter).

7.1 Printer Operation
The autoclave is equipped with a character printer, which prints a detailed
history of each cycle performed by the device (for the record or for
subsequent consideration).

The printing is made on impact/thermal paper with 24 characters per line


and contains the following information:
 Software version (is printed only on Power Off)
 Real time
 Selected program
 Sterilization pressure
 Sterilization temperature
 Sterilization time
 Summary of performed cycle and identification hints.

When the sterilization cycle begins the printer starts printing the above data.
After the preliminary printing, the autoclave starts performing the sequence
of operations of the cycle. The measured values of temperature and
pressure are printed at fixed time intervals, according to the phase of the
process, as shown in the table below.
The data is printed from the bottom up, beginning with the date and ending
with “O.K.” for a complete cycle or “FAIL” for an aborted cycle.
For an example of a typical printout, see next page.

8. Preparation before Sterilization
The Manufacturer's recommendations concerning the sterilization of
each type of material/ item shall be taken into consideration.
 Clean and rinse instruments to dispose any residue, using appropriate
cleaning machines such as an ultrasonic cleaner, washer, etc.
(Follow manufacturer's instructions on the use of products for cleaning
and lubricating instruments after using the ultrasonic cleaner).
 Use materials for inner wraps which are compatible with the item
being packed and with the selected sterilization method
(autoclaveable in 121ºC / 134ºC).
 Do not mix between instruments which are not of the same metal
(such as stainless steel, carbon steel, etc.). Make sure to separate
and place on different trays.
 Check manufacturer's instructions for the sterilization of each item.
 In case of unwrapped material, place a towel or a paper wrap on
the trays, under the instruments, to prevent corrosion.
 Open all instruments and disassemble if possible before sterilization.
Place instruments with ratchets opened and unlocked or clipped on
the first ratchet position.
 Empty canisters should be placed upside-down, in order to prevent
accumulation of condensed water.
 Use single-use wraps once only and discard after use.
 Keep distance between instruments on the tray (Do not overload the
trays and do not pack in layers!).
 Allow a distance of approximately 2 cm (0.8") between trays to
permit steam circulation.
 Recommendation: once a week, use a biological spore test indicator
in any load to make sure sterilization is performed.

Packs
 Place packs upright on trays, side by side.
 Packs should not touch the chamber walls.
 Pack instruments sets in a manner that prevents damage to delicate
items.

Page 105 of 127


 Pack hollowware sets so that all the openings face the same
direction and so that the contents cannot move inside the pack.
 Load packs of folded operating room drapes with layers vertically,
allowing air to be removed from the packs rapidly.
 Do not place packs of hollowware and trays of instruments above
textile packs or soft goods in order to avoid wetting caused by
condensation from items above.
 Load items packed in flexible packaging materials on the edge with
paper to laminate, or flat with paper surface downwards.

Tubing
 When placing in a tray, Make sure that both ends
are open, without sharp bends or twists.

Fig. 130- Placing instruments on trays

Wrapped Instruments
 Wrapped instruments should be packed in material that promotes
drying such as autoclave bag, autoclave paper, and muslin towels.
 The pouch rack (see picture above) allows the operator to place
pouches on their side, thus increasing the capacity of the autoclave
significantly and promoting better drying of the instruments. Contact
your dealer for details.
 Verify that the packaging method is in accordance with good
practice approach and the packaging materials are in accordance
with the applicable standards (e.g. EN868 series).We recommend to
use plastic-plastic or plastic-paper pouches.

9. Operating Instructions
 Open the water reservoir cover. Pour distilled water into the reservoir
through the opening on top of the device, until it reaches the base of
the safety valve holder, approximately 5.5 liters (1.45 gallons).
 Insert the power plug into the socket (see item 1 in Fig. 5)
 Turn on the power switch (see item 14 in Fig. 3), mounted on the front
panel, to power the unit.
 The Autoclave will be ready for use within 12 minutes.
 Set the clock for the proper date and time (4.6.1 in the User Manual).
 Select required cycle (4.6.2 in the User Manual).
 Load the material to be sterilized into the chamber.
 Close the door by pushing; the Autoclave will display a "Ready"
message or "Wait" if the steam is not ready.
 Press the "Start" key to start the sterilization cycle.
 At the end of the cycle, a "Cycle End" message will be displayed and
the buzzer will buzz continuously for 10 seconds. In case of a failed
cycle, the diagnosis of the failure followed by a "Fail!!!" message will
be displayed and printed, and the buzzer will make an interrupted
noise.
 Open the door by pressing the "Door" button and unload the sterilized
materials from the chamber. In case of fail, press the "Reset" key to
cancel the locking of the door.

10. Maintenance Instructions

Caution!
DO NOT IMPLEMENT ANY MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS WHEN THE
AUTOCLAVE IS TURNED ON! TURN OFF THE AUTOCLAVE BEFORE STARTING
MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS.

Preventive and Scheduled Maintenance


The maintenance operations described in this chapter have to be
implemented periodically to keep the device in good condition and to
reduce the breakdown time to a minimum.
The user can easily execute these operations in accordance with further
instructions. The owner of the autoclave is responsible to order an authorized
technician to perform the periodical tests and preventive maintenance
operations, as specified in the technician manual.
Use only mineral-free water as detailed in Para. 2.6 (water quality).

Daily
Clean door gasket with a soft cloth. The gasket should be clean and
smooth.

Weekly
Check the interior part of the autoclave once a week. If the autoclave is
contaminated it requires cleaning as follows:
Take out the tray holder and trays. Clean the tray holder and trays with a
cleaning detergent & water and with a cloth or sponge. You may use
diluted lemon acid (25-50 CC lemon acid in 1 liter of water) as cleaning
detergent. If detergent is used, rinse the tray holder and trays immediately
with water to avoid stains on the metal.
 Once a week clean and de-scale the chamber and the reservoir
using a cleaning detergent as described above.
Do not use steel wool or steel brush as this can damage the chamber!
 Clean the outer parts of the autoclave with a soft cloth.

Page 108 of 127


 Once a week drain the water from the mineral free water reservoir,
and refill with fresh mineral-free water or distilled water (see para.
3.4).
 Once a week or when “Empty Res L” is displayed (the shorter period)
drain the water from the waste water reservoir (see para. 6.3).

Periodically
By the operator
 Once a month, activate the safety valve (see para. 6.8).
 Once a month clean the strainer as per para. 6.25. Cleaning
frequency may be reduced according to experience.
 Clean filter of the water reservoir every 3 months.
 Replace the air filter every 6 months (see para. 6.28).
 Once every six months clean the fan grid with a vacuum cleaner
from the outer side of the grid.
 Check the door gasket every 12 months and replace it if required
(see para. 6.32).
 The Autoclave requires periodic cleaning, ones a month or according
to the needs.
Implement the cleaning with moist wipes.

By a qualified technician
 Once a year check and tighten the piping joints to avoid leakage.
 Once a year check and tighten all screw connections in the control
box, heaters, valves and instrumentation.
 Once a year check calibration and calibrate the system, if needed.
 Once a year, replace the Electrodes of the water reservoir and the
