high temperature of steam.
b) Outline of high pressure steam sterilizer
VSC-220L has a steam boiler in the inside of the equipment. The boiler supplies the steam of
high temperature and high pressure. Therefore, it sterilizes the materials to be sterilized by using
high temperature and high pressure steam. According to the kind of the materials,
the sterilization course is divided into low temperature sterilization of 121 ℃(1.0 kgf/cm2) and
high temperature sterilization of 134℃(2.1 kg/cm2). The whole course of sterilization is
automatically progressed. Low temperature sterilization is used for rubber products and liquid
sterilization. High temperature sterilization is used for sterilization of textiles and some medical
instruments.
The whole sterilization process is automatically controlled by the microprocessor and the monitor
displays various information about sterilization temperature, sterilization pressure, sterilization time and
drying time that occur during sterilization operation. This equipment has the self test function so that
the user can distinguish an error or alarm during operating it.

16
 Electrical Installation Requirements

1) This product needs the electric line voltage of AC380V, three-phase four-wire system( L1,L2,L3,N).
Install the terminal box at the location of about 1.5m from the floor around the area that the equipment
is installed.
2) Install the 4 pole circuit breaker having more than 30A current capacity inside the terminal box for
exclusive sterilizers. ( Power consumption of this product: Max, 15,000W (15.0KW)
Power requirement: Max, 14,000W (14.0KW)

Plumbing Equipment Facilities

1) Water Supply Facilities
This product needs the water supply when it is installed because an electric boiler is built in. Therefore,
about Ø 15 water supply line should be installed in the back of the equipment. The water supply should be
used for the sterilizer only. Also, a valve should be connected for safety.
2) Drain Facilities
The electric boiler generates steam while the use of electricity is allowed. Steam or water is discharged
through the drain line intermittently. Therefore, the drain more than Ø 40 should be installed in the back of
the equipment. Also, this drain should be used for the sterilizer only. This drain should be connected to
sewage ditch (drainage ditch) separately if possible. It should be below 100mm from the floor.
Copper pipe is safe as quality of material (Pvc plastic pipe is not suitable for the drain pipe because of
high temperature steam and water. Therefore, it should not be used.).

3) Ways to establish
(1) Move this product to the place to be established. When you move it, use the moving equipment
because the weight (more than 470 kg) of the product is too heavy.
(2) An expert engineer should establish this product by the order of installation manual.
(3) The level floor that the equipment will be established should be kept in the horizontal position.
(4) This equipment should be placed more than 400mm away from the wall for ventilation and
the best follow-up service.
(5) This equipment should be fixed at the place where it is installed. Also, the fixed feet should be fixed
on the spot.
(6) Open the cover of the control box lying on the back of the equipment. Next, the socket (terminal) of circuit
breaker and the circuit breaker installed against the wall should be connected to the electrical cable
(the electrical cable that is more than a thickness of 10 SQUARE should be used ).
(7) If the electrical work finishes, the water supply pipe in the equipment and the water supply line in the wall
should be connected by Ø 15 stainless pipe or pipe having equal internal pressure and heat resistance.

17
 After they are connected, the engineer should check the water leakage after turning on the city water.
(8) If the plumbing for the water supply line is completed, the drain part of the product and the floor drain
should be connected by Ø 40 stainless pipe or pipe having more than equal internal pressure and heat
resistance.
(9) If all the other electrical system and the connection of the drain line are completed, turn on the power
supply switch and check if the boiler water supply is normally working well.
(10) The ground connection should be connected certainly.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6. Use Method
1) Preparatory matters before using

① Have air change in the room where the equipment will be established to keep the atmosphere fresh.

② Open the door of the chamber and clean up the bottom in the chamber ( Remove foreign substances

after cleaning up the bottom with a wet rag ).

③ Check to see if the circuit breaker in the terminal box is turned on.

If it is turned off, it should be turned on.

④ Check to see if the valve for water supply is open. If it is closed, it should be open.

⑤ After power supply is turned on, check to see if the boiler water level keeps level 3 on the LCD monitor

( If the water level in the tank is low, water is automatically supplied to the boiler by the supply pump.

And if the boiler water level is more than level 2, the boiler heater will work and preheat).

⑥ The user opens the door of the sterilizer, loads the materials to be sterilized into the tray safely,

and puts it in the tray rack.

⑦ When the user closes the door, check to see if the materials got stuck at the door.

And check if the door is closed tightly.

⑧ Read the manual to know how to use before using the equipment.

⑨ This equipment generates high temperature and high pressure. Therefore, only the person in charge

should use this equipment.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

18
 2).Cleaning and Packaging
◆ The user should wash the medical instruments right after using them. If they are not washed for a long time,
dirty things or impurities are coagulated and are not easy to be dissolved or cleaned up.
So, the user should use only exclusive detergent and dry them after removing water drops.
And, after the medical equipment or medical instruments are wrapped with sterilization packing or
cloth sewing, the user should load them into the sterilizer.

◆ Textile and medical protective clothing should be dried completely after they are washed. Also, they should
be wrapped by sterilization packing or cloth sewing. When medical instruments are loaded into the sterilizer,
they should be loaded on the exclusive tray. The packaged cotton should be stood up so that the steam can
penetrate well into the materials to be sterilized. This loading method can increase the effect of complete
sterilization and dry.

◆.The liquid type sterilization is safe to use exclusive sterilization container. Borosilicate glass bottles are
very suitable for use as liquid sterilization containers because borosilicate glass is resistant to high
temperature steam and pressure well. Just plastic bottles and glass bottles can be broken with ease and
transformed during sterilization. So, the user shouldn’t put such things into the sterilizer. Sterilization
containers should be sterilized with the covers open. After sterilization, the liquid may boil over or the
containers may be broken if the user suddenly opens the door of sterilizer.
Therefore, the user should open the sterilizer door if the inside temperature of the sterilizer goes under 70 ℃
to avoid the damages.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3).How to Operate
(1) Turn on the electric power ( power switch should be in the “on” position)
(2) Turn the door handle left to open the door (before opening the door, check to see if the chamber
pressure is in the “0” position).
(3) Put the medical instruments into the chamber.
(4) Turn the door handle to the right to close the door (check to see if the monitor displays “Door:[close]”
(5) Choose the sterilization program according to kinds of materials loaded into the chamber.
Ex: Choice of machinery or packaged textile : Program Mode 1
Rubber gloves or kind of silicon tube: Program Mode 2
(6) Check if the jacket (boiler) pressure is preheated enough before pressing the start button.

When program mode-1 /2 is used, jacket preheating: more than 2.0 kgf/㎠

If jacket pressure is preheated enough, press the start button.

Sterilization process is automatically progressed in the following order:
19
 Condition (preheating) Vacuum Sterilization- Exhaust  Dry complete
Auto process.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(7) [“Condition”] Preheating Process

As a preheating step of jacket (boiler), the condition lamp lights if the pressure and temperature of
boiler increases enough. If the user presses the start button in the state that the condition lamp doesn’t

20
 light, the monitor displays the message of “ERROR-14.” After the user resets the error, he/she should wait
until the boiler pressure rises.

(8) [“Vacuum”] Pre-vacuum Process

As a pre-vacuum step, the air or the state inside the chamber is reduced until -0.75bar
by vacuum device operation. And, the steam in the jacket is supplied into the chamber until
+0.5bar. After that, the state inside the chamber is reduced until -0.5 bar by vacuum device
operation again. This is the process that the steam is supplied in the state that the air inside
the materials is completely removed. Therefore, the effect of perfect sterilization can be realized.
The vacuum pulse is composed of 3 times. At the final step, if steam is supplied into the chamber
until established pressure, the sterilization step proceeds.

(10)..[“Sterilize”] Sterilization Process

If the temperature and pressure reach established sterilization temperature and pressure,
the sterilization process is realized. To keep established sterilization temperature and pressure,
the temperature and pressure inside the chamber during the sterilization time are controlled by
the intermittent inflow of boiler steam. This process is continued during established sterilization time.

(11)..[“Exhaust”] Exhaust Process

If the sterilization process finishes, exhaust process begins. Exhaust process is the process that
the pressure and steam inside the chamber are discharged. This process is continued until the pressure of
21
chamber is air pressure “0.0”.

(12).. If exhaust process finishes,

the dry process proceeds. Steam in the chamber is discharged by the vacuum device forcibly for 5 minutes.
After 5 minutes passes, inflow of vacuum and air repeatedly proceeds and the dry process is realized.

(13).. [“Complet”] Completion Process

If the dry process completes, the Complet LED lights up. So, all sterilization process completes.
The pressure of the chamber keeps 0.0 bar. At this time, the complete sound rings for one minute.
If the user presses STOP, the sound stops.

(14).. FAIL
If the user presses the STOP button randomly during operation, or if the error occurs because of unsafe
conditions of operational environment during operation, “FAIL” led lights up. For initialization,
press the STOP button.
If all process has completed, open the door and take out the sterilized
Materials from the chamber.
◆ At this time, the user should check if a little bit of steam or humidity in the

Chamber leaves. If so,the user should try again only the dry process with
Program Mode-3 because the dry time lacks for this process.Never try to open
the door during operation.
It causes problems like burn.
 Open the door after checking if the pressure gauge guide is located at “0.”
 When the user loads or takes out the materials, handle the materials after wearing protective gloves and
a protective gown.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4)..How to manage the Sterilized Materials (Items)

 If all sterilization process has completed, open the door and take out the materials.If the user finds
the materials having water drops or excessive humidity inside the chamber when he opens the door,
he/she has to extend the drying time for the materials. In the state that there are some water drops
and excessive humidity inside the chamber, do not take out the materials from the chamber.
It is because the materials can be polluted again by air or dust after the moisture has been cool.

● The completely sterilized materials must be kept in the exclusive depository blocking the influx of outdoor
air. This depository should be set up at the place where patients and outsiders don't enter.

22
 ● A user must surely check the expiration date of sterilized materials before using the sterilized materials
stored in the exclusive depository. However, if the user finds something wrong with the materials,
he/she should sterilize them again.

5) How to manage the sterilizer after completing the sterilization

● After taking out the sterilized materials from the chamber, the user should remove foreign substances
in the bottom of the sterilizer. If the foreign substances remain as they are in the inside of the chamber,
they can cause the product troubles because of clogged pluming when the sterilizer operates.
● When the power supply of sterilizer turns on, the chamber keeps high temperature condition.
If the sterilized materials stay in the chamber continuously, they can be transformed.
Therefore, the user should keep the materials in the separate storage box to avoid it.
● The user should clean the inside of the chamber with a wet duster. But, the user should not necessarily
use the stainless steel scouring pad because it may cause the product damage or breakdown.
A user should clean the tray at least once every two weeks with soft detergent.
The user should load the tray into the chamber in a completely dry condition

● A user should turn the power supply off after using the sterilizer.

users' safety at all time. He/she should also follow the use procedure in the manual.
1) This product is a large size sterilizer. We ask the user to establish and use it in an exclusive room for
this sterilizer,VSC-220.
2) When the user opens and closes the door of the equipment, he/she must check whether pressure gauge
guide displays ” 0.0”.Bar
3) When the user loads the materials to be sterilized into the chamber, the user should check whether they
are dry enough. So, do not put the sweat materials into the chamber.
4) When the user loads the materials to be sterilized into the chamber, the user shouldn't accumulate them
from the bottom to the top. If possible, load the materials with making them stand up from the left to
the right.
5) A user should wear safety gloves. Because the sterilizer keeps high temperatures during and after using it,
there is a strong possibility of burning.
6) The examination, adjustment, and repair of sterilizer should be checked by a qualified person or
an experienced user who got the education or the training by the manufacturer or its agency.

8) When the equipment got a breakdown, the user should attach the breakdown warning sign on the
equipment in the case there is no a qualified expert. And, he or she should get services the manufacturer
or medical equipment expert.
9) Before the user or the expert repair the sterilizer, he/she should remove the power cord in advance.
After the equipment gets a cool down to the room temperature, they should fix the sterilizer.

10) Use the equipment only the person in charge or medical equipment expert.
11) When a user sterilizes the packaging materials, do let the exterior parts of the pack not to touch
the walls of the sterilizer room.
12) A user must not sterilize explosive, volatile, flammable, or toxic materials.
13) A user must keep the following factors for the sterilization of liquids.
① Use porous lids. Do not use screw caps or rubber stoppers.
② Use only borosilicate glass bottles. Do not use normal glass bottles or containers that are not made for
sterilization.
③ Do not open the sterilizer door widely soon after the sterilization cycle is complete.
Just wait about 10 minutes with the sterilizer door a little bit open.
④ Do not shake or move a hot bottle. It might burst the bottle
14) After using the equipment, clean the outside of the sterilizer and the inside of the chamber all the time.
15) Do not set up this equipment on the outside of a building that temperature change often happens
(It can cause the occurrence of errors).
