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.

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
Page 37 of 127
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.

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.

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.
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.
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.
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
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.
d. Act. L: - Actual low value of the analog input.

Page 95 of 127
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).

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.
Tubing
When placing in a tray, Make sure that both ends
are open, without sharp bends or twists.
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.
Caution!
DO NOT IMPLEMENT ANY MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS WHEN THE
AUTOCLAVE IS TURNED ON! TURN OFF THE AUTOCLAVE BEFORE STARTING
MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS.
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.
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.
