the design life of the period of failure environment estimation device according to
agreed standards, and the failure rate of actual use occurred irrelevant, inappropriate
will accelerate the use of equipment damage). After the sterilization process in ac-
cordance with the specified inner chamber cold air exclusion devices designed to
heat saturated steam sterilization factor, at high temperature, high humidity environ-
ment, the role of a certain time and pressure to achieve items can be steam sterilized
penetration.

Note 1: When the load may be sterilized microbial infection resistance than the
standard conventions resistance (for example, carry the BSE pathogen microorgan-
isms), you need to adjust the process parameters pressure sterilization, sterilization
time depending on the specific characteristics of microorganisms, and the corre-
sponding confirmation process before use.
Note 2: Bactericidal factor on the ability to kill micro-organisms should be agreed in
equipment and related facilities under normal operating conditions in order to en-
sure the effective killing effect, such as equipment failure, the external connection
system failures, the load and the load to be sterilized swing discharge, etc. Are likely
to interfere with sterilization factor in killing.

lation of the sterilizer space height of not less than 2.9 m; from the left and right sides
of the sterilizer and the wall is not less than 0.5m; sterilizer loading / unloading di-
rection of the depth is not less than 1.5 times the length of the sterilizer, to facilitate
handling of the sterilized items operation.

7
Foundation: The surface should be solid, flat, bearing the weight shall comply with
the appropriate equipment requirements. As above floor installation, the user should
consider the need for corresponding parts of the floor reinforcement depending on
the circumstances.

Ventilation and cooling: In order to ensure the normal operation of equipment and
comfortable working environment, it is recommended to install a working chamber
should be suitable ventilation system to control sterilizer surrounding ambient tem-
perature, humidity.

Drainage: Should the selection ratio sterilizer drain port configuration is at least the
size of a standard drain, drainage alone will lead to a trench exhausted to the outside,
and not inside the building drain line other communication (such as cleaning, floor
drain, etc.), or part of the gas discharged from the machine in the course of their
work will affect the other rooms.

Drain pipe at the outlet should be installed from high position to low
position, which should not have the back pressure; otherwise they will discharge con-
densate affect poor sterilization or drying effect.
When multiple devices share a total drain, drain flow should be greater than the total
sum of drain flow each device needs.

Drainage material should be used in high temperature (140 ℃), corrosion-resistant,

anti-aging material.
Equipment installation, anchor bolts should be adjusted to ensure that the main drain
at the lowest point.

Water source: Used for vacuum system and steam generator. Connection size is 1/2
inch internal thread, pressure requirements: 0.2 ~ 0.3mpa, flow requirements, see
installation diagram. Installation should be connected to the valve and a pressure
gauge 0 ~ 0.6mpa in the water line. (Note: If the water pressure is higher than 0.4mpa,
should be appropriate to increase the pressure gauge range, to ensure that work at
full scale pressure gauge 2/3.)

If the water source pressure lower than 0.2Mpa, can’t start vacuum pro-
gram.

 The machine steam is from the built-in steam generator. The water for
steam generator should be soft water.

Power: Conventional power equipment should be AC380V three-phase five-wire,

three-phase firewire, a zero line, a ground wire. Wherein the zero line is blue, yellow-
green ground, three firewire red yellow and green, the user power and load capacity
of the power cord should be greater than the load device. It requires the installation
of the power switch box in the sterilizer to the right or left rear wall to ensure that in
the switch box near the device, easy to reach and the operator places the switch box
should be marked as a special sterilizer. You must install a three-phase switch box
knife switch (or breaker) and an overcurrent protection device to enable device
power off and overcurrent protection functions. Special equipment in accordance
with the actual requirements of the contract power supply wiring.
To ensure the safety of personnel, equipment, it must be laid a ground wire, equip-
ment enclosures and control cables in the ground must be securely connected to the
external ground.

The cover of the machine and steam generator should be strictly ground
connected.

water filling valve, F7 circulation water valve), open the solenoid valves, with a screw-
driver and gently close the solenoid valve top, you should feel a strong magnetic at-
traction.

3.4.3. Unloading experiment

Before the program is running, should make leak test. If the test failed, then the inner
chamber communicating pipeline may have leaks. Then need to make double-check
to eliminate leaks and re-test until the test qualified, otherwise it will affect the effect
of sterilization equipment
Parameter settings: Check or check the parameter in operations programs.
After parameter settings, can run unwrapped, warped, BD & Helix and other pro-
grams. During the program running, check the pipe and sealing the door and found
the pipe steam leakage place promptly.

3.4.4. Load experiment:

After the above unload program, load test should be carried out. In the load test,
loading equipment and other non-liquid type fabric sterilized items should not ex-
ceed 80% of the volume of the chamber and should be placed on the shelf, each
dressing kits and equipment package should maintain a gap of 10mm. Load test must
be wrapped inside the sterilizing effect of the center point can be detected. Run the

The product consists of chamber body, door, shelves, piping systems and control
systems and other components. Saturated steam as the medium under high temper-
ature conditions, to achieve the effect of sterilization, you may need to set the pul-
sation frequency. See Figure III: assembly drawing.

4.1. Chamber body

There are electric heating films on the external of the chamber to ensure that cham-
ber maintain a certain temperature in order to reduce the internal steam condensa-
tion in sterilization process
Internal chamber with corrosion excellent stainless steel plate welded by special au-
tomatic welding machine, surface by mechanical polishing and electrochemical pol-
ishing, slip bright clean, corrosion-resistant and durable.
Out of the chamber, there are good quality insulation materials, beautiful and dura-
ble, reduced the heat radiation to a minimum, effectively ensure the work environ-
ment.

4.2. Door

seals gasket, hinges, doors cover, hand wheel, safety interlock systems and pressure
control components and other components.

4.2.1. Door directions

Operating end called the front door, the back door is called the non-operating side
(only for double-door sterilizer). General configuration for the Single door machine is
left open, double door machine is front door right open, back door left open,

4.2.2. Removing the door cover

Firstly, remove the logo from the central of the hand wheel, and then use a screw-
driver crosswise decorative cover under the central screw, then remove the seat be-
fore the hand wheel. Then cover the top left of the door, remove the lower right
screw, then hand hold the door on both sides of the cover, lift it up after breaking out
slightly, then the door cover can be removed.

12
4.2.3. Door bolt and locking mechanism

The door is locking by rotation driven the hand wheel to make the nice door bolts
overhanging.
Each spacer bolt factory has been adjusted, if found to leak the user generally do not
make adjustment shall be experienced personnel, otherwise the more stressed the
more worse.

4.2.4. Close the door

Before closing each bolt in the fully retracted position, the hand wheel counterclock-
wise to the door limit position. Shut the door, so that clockwise rotation of the hand
wheel, automatic bolt protruding, and inserted into the front closure plate, and then
continue to rotate the hand wheel, when the operator heard the inner door cover
switch is pushed against the "click" sound, continue to rotate semi-circle to circle to
completely nip.
Prohibited to rotate the hand wheel in clockwise under the door to
prevent bolt extended and making the door cover damage!

4.2.5. Open the door

Rotate the hand wheel in anticlockwise to open the door.

Note: Only when the internal chamber pressure is equal to atmos-
pheric pressure can the door open!

4.2.6. Door switch

Door switch mounted in the door cover, against oppression and bolt action, Double
door sterilizer front and back doors have a door switch. When the both door door
closed, to start the program. If the door is not locked properly, the program can’t
start to run, so as to avoid starting the machine with door is not closed. Under special
circumstances adjustable bolt on the plate, you can adjust the door switch operation
successively.

4.2.7. Pressure safety interlock

The door has a double insurance. In the bottom left of the door is equipped with a
limit switch, this switch is pressed at the door lock, switch on the device program
control circuit, that is to say the door is not locked, the program will not start. Once
the program starts, electromagnetic locks pop (Double Door Series ejected the front
door), then the hand wheel can not be rotated, did not open. When the sterilization

13
process is complete, the chamber pressure was reduced to less than ± 10kpa, elec-
tromagnetic locks back, the door can be opened.

4.2.8. Door sealing gasket

 Structure
Sealing gasket is a specially processed heterosexual silicon rubber ring, compo-
nent of the material, the shape of the design, installation and maintenance of
the correct working and its normal life is critical, I use the seal circle uses a spe-
cially formulated silicone rubber material, which effectively ensure the stability
and reliability in high temperature environments.
 Principle
The ring fixed to the main body of the sealing ring seat when the door is closed
during seal under the action of external forces close to the front of the cabinet
side seal plate sealing surface due to its trapezoidal shape, in a sealed process
will produce some distortion, in order to achieve the seal of the door.
 Maintenance
Although the seal in the design and material selection have been fully taken into
account the long-term use, but several factors may affect the life of the seals
should be avoided in order to ensure longer seal life.
At the end of a shift, should be promptly steam into the sterilizer control to turn
off the main valve, so that the door in the open position, otherwise due to the
ring for a long time at high temperature compressed state, is bound to make it
gradually aging.
Use the six months to a year later, the ring should be removed with alcohol to
gently scrub seal, dry seal with the pressure of the back doors installed along the
end face of the door.
Use of the process should be taken to prevent collisions with hard objects to seal,
or easily create their permanent damage that cannot be reliably achieve the sealing
ring.
During use, often on the surface of the door seals and scrub a favorable impact on
the use of seals.
 Failure
The following reasons can determine when substantially seal has failed.
Sealing gaskets significantly hardened surface, feeling lost when the elastic pull,
and pull the mesh pattern appears.
Sealing gaskets have been broken or cracked.
 Remove and install door gasket
When needs to remove the gasket, after stopping all running programs open the

14
 door, and then the tape is removed from the seat ring seal trough.
When installed, press the sealing gaskets into the sealing groove to squeeze again.
Note: Because the general perimeter than the perimeter of the sealing strip seal
groove a little more, so when installed, to the extra length of the uniformly dis-
persed in the sealing groove
Remind!
When installing the seals, if another person can help, it will be easier!

touch-screen monitor as the man-machine interface, control the temperature and
pressure signals collected using standard analog modules: temperature probe PT100
resistance value is converted into a signal to the controller can accept digital; meas-
uring the pressure with the pressure transmitter converts the pressure signal into a

20
standard 4-20ma current signal, processed into unit quantities. Benefits analog con-
trol is the process of sterilization process temperature and pressure changes contin-
uously programmable controller can be timely to detect, and displayed on the display
unit.

level in the chamber and the inner chamber of the presence or absence of pressure
control, in order to ensure the safety of equipment and operator for two-door steri-
lizer is able to effectively ensure that the contaminated area and isolating the sterile
field.

4.5.3. Steam generator control

When the machine powered on, after the self-test, the main controller is in working
condition. Heating water if not yet reached the low water level, the water level
reached after the evaporator and then automatically maintain pressure in a certain
range.
If you have a sandwich, mezzanine and the evaporator is connected, when the pres-
sure reaches the evaporator pressure limit, the main heating was stopped waiting for
a period of time the evaporator pressure falls under the pressure of the heating main
controller limit again, so circulated.
During program execution (non-sterile stage), if the water level below the high water

21
mark for three minutes and injection pump (valve) were open so water cycle, the
water level maintained in the evaporator at the water level.

4.5.4. Water tank water entering control

There is Pt100 temperature sensor for detecting the temperature of the water tank.

The default control the tank temperature is 35 ℃, when the water temperature is

higher than 35 ℃, and the injection pump circulation valve F7 open, Fill the water

tank. Tank temperature control hysteresis is 5 ℃, when the water temperature is

below 30 ℃, injection pump and circulating valve F7 closed.

tering valve switch on or off according to the process needed.

4.5.6. Chamber vacuum

"Unwrapped", "Wrapped" and "BD & Helix" programs, during pulse stage, it will evac-
uate three times to make a near vacuum inside the chamber to enhance the pene-
tration of steam. Run the program, when you're ready to enter the first stage is re-
placed, while the steam chamber, while exhaust steam, the inner chamber is filled
with steam or a mixed gas of air and steam to the injector evacuation system properly
evacuated. After the completion of the replacement into the pulsating stage, within
the chamber air, steam and condensate, the lower part of the chamber row soda oral,
vacuum valve F3 withdrawn. Vacuum exhaust and use the same line. When the cham-
ber pressure reaches the pulsation limit, F3 evacuation valve closed to stop the evac-
uation. When the pressure reaches the inner chamber pulsation limit, the exhaust
valve F3 is turned on, when the chamber is evacuated to a pressure drop when the
pressure transition (the default 20kpa) began evacuated. This cycle, until it reaches
the set pulsation frequency. After the pulse of F3 evacuation valve closed, water
pump stopped.
Pulsating three reasons: In general, the upper limit for the ripple 80kpa, pulsating

22
lower limit -80kpa, evacuated a discharge rate of 80%; when evacuated twice the
discharge amount of 96%; when evacuated three times, the theoretical value of up
excretion 99.2%, so many times better pulsating vacuum effect, the system is set up
to six times.

4.5.7. Chamber steam exhaust

Non-liquid exhaust control program

After the sterilization phase, the procedure goes to the exhaust stage. First, the cham-
ber was evacuated valve F3 open to begin exhaust. When the pressure inside the
chamber is evacuated down to turn pressure, the exhaust valve opens F3, water
pump starts running, relying WJS vacuum system, so that the exhaust speed.
Liquid program Exhaust
In the liquid process, after the end of the sterilization process, slow discharge trap F5
For intermittent open, the chamber exhaust steam after slow slow exhaust trap, forc-
ing a slow decline in the pressure chamber, thereby preventing excessive boiling liq-
uid overflow.

4.5.8. Drying stage

Due to the different nature of the goods, Unwrapped, Wrapped, BD & Helix program,
such as vacuum, you need drying stage, when the chamber pressure drops to zero
exhaust, the program transferred to the drying stage. Water pump and the exhaust
valve open, relying WJS evacuation system, evacuated and dried. When the drying
time is reached, the exhaust valve, water pump stops, the end of the drying process.

4.5.9. Program End

7. Sterilization Quality
For any disinfection and sterilization device, no matter which type, steam ex-
haust by gravity or automatic program control. In case of achieving the reliable ster-
ilization effect, in addition to the design, manufacturing quality and perfect mainte-
nance of the device, correctly mastering the basic knowledge of the disinfection and
sterilization, knowing the working principle of the device well, strictly executing the
operation rules of the disinfection and sterilization work, and taking every provisions
relevant to the sterilization seriously, are the human factors of gaining the successful
sterilization.

7.1. Self-protection
During the sterilization, the staff must have the self-protection consciousness and
adopt the self-protection measures, so as to prevent on the harm to the staff.

Be careful of scalding when the product in the high status.

7.1.1. Guarantee of the sterilization quality
Guarantee the cleaning of sterilized package
Cleaning is the key of the successful sterilization, especially some medical devices
which are difficult to clean. The foreign research has ever discovered that the com-
plete cleaning could reduce the bacteria quantity with 3-4 logarithms and greatly re-
duce the content of the organic matters. If failing to eliminate the organic matters
and pollutants effectively, it will greatly reduce the activity of sterilizing agents and
the bacteria hided in the organics cannot be killed. So if the cleaning is not complete,
the whole process will fail. The attentive thing is that the cleaning requirement can-
not be reduced according to lengthen the sterilization time and improve the temper-
ature of agent; In order to remove the organics effectively, it’s better to adopt enzy-
matic cleaning agents for enhancing the cleaning effect. Cleaning includes manual
and automatic cleaning. Manual cleaning waste time and labor, cannot guarantee the
conformity of cleaning. In addition, the medical staff must wear the water-proof mask,
eye patches, gloves, arm sleeve, cap, water-proof shoes and apron etc. The automatic
washing has large investment, but it can guarantee the conformity of cleaning. It is

42
necessary to note that the machine cleaning cannot replace the manual cleaning. For
some pipes, precision instruments and parts difficult to clean must be cleaned man-
ually. In addition, the cleaning devices must be cleaned and maintained, so as to
avoid the failed machine cleaning.

Without the correct cleaning, the high-level disinfection or sterilization

cannot be guaranteed.

7.1.2. Quality of Steam Source

 Saturation: The so-called saturated steam means the steam of rising to more
than the liquid line by the vaporized steam.
 Drying: It is the other requirement of the steam property. According to the
practice, the content of the saturated steam shall not be less than 97%. In other
words, the water particles or unclean matters contained in the steam source should
be less than 3%. Otherwise, it will be easy to cause the wet pack phenomenon.
7.1.3. Water Quality Control
The hardness of water can be divided into two types. First, the temporary hardness
is mainly formed by the bicarbonate of calcium and magnesium. Second, it is the
hardness mainly formed by the sulfate, nitrate and Chloridion of calcium and magne-
sium, which cannot be removed by the way of boiling, so it is also called as perma-
nent hardness.
The disinfection and sterilization device is operated under the hot and humid condi-
tions for a long time, and the impurities in the water such as dissolved oxygen, carbon
dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, and Chloridion with the gaseous state or particles generate
the intergranular corrosion on the stainless steel and metal. Thus, the PH value for
the water supply and steam supply of the disinfection and sterilization device is re-
quired to be between 7 and 7.8. The boiler water and the water for the disinfection
device must be treated.
7.1.4. Environment of the Chamber
a) The floor of the disinfection and chamber must be even and smooth, and the
cement floor is appropriate. The waste water discharge outlet leans slightly. The
cleanliness and drying of the operation area are kept. The roof should be equipped
with the ceiling, for fear of gathering the dust. The wall should be even and clean,
and should be isolated from the operating room for flashing and preparation.
b) The discharge outlet of the waste steam and waste water must run through the
wall or embed in the trench, or discharge into the air. The residual water and steam
should not be returned with intruding into the room.
c) The ventilating unit shall be installed in the end face of the wall top or the
proper position of the ceiling.

43
d) If qualified, the partition of the device can be made. The sterilization device
adopts the high temperature steam as the sterilization medium and uses the vac-
uum pump for vacuum pumping, and the air compressor provides the compressed
air for the door sealing and pneumatic valve. Therefore, it will have some influence
on the surrounding environment. It is recommended that the operating end of the
front door and non-operating end of the back door shall be separated by the color
steel plate or other materials after the device takes place. In this way, it will prevent
the heat and working noise from influencing the surrounding environment effec-
tively, and improve the working conditions of the disinfection room greatly.
7.1.5. Preparation and Discharge of Objects
 The dressing fabric should have the moderate tightness while folding the packs,
so as to facilitate the permeability of the steam.
 When the packs are arranged in the shelf, it is necessary to keep the clearance
of 10 mm mutually, and the loading capacity cannot exceed 90% of the inner cham-
ber volume, so as to facilitate the smooth circulation of the steam.
 The commercially available aluminum lunch box and porcelain enamel shall not
be used for carrying the sterilized objects. The sterilized objects should be carried
by the appliance with the air vent.
7.1.6. Requirements of Sterilized Objects
 It is necessary to sterilize the similar objects in a batch to the greatest extent,
and avoid the instrument packs from touching the cotton fabrics packs directly.
 The volume of objects pack for the sterilization shall not exceed 30cm× 30cm×
50cm.
 The objects pack should not be strapped too tightly, and should be pasted and
sealed with the chemical indicating the sealing rubber gasket. The chemical indicat-
ing card shall be placed in each objects pack.
 The metal drum pack should be placed below the dressing pack.

7.2. Detection of Sterilization Effect

The detection of the sterilization effect is the necessary means of evaluating whether
the sterilization method is reasonable, and whether the sterilization effect is reliable.
The detection mode can be divided into three types involving the physical mode,
chemical detection mode, and biological detection mode.
7.2.1. Physical Mode
① Instrument Detection: This device is equipped with the pressure gauge showing
the interlayer and inner chamber pressure, and the touch screen shows the inner
chamber temperature and pressure value. This device is also equipped with the
mini-printer, which can record the pressure, temperature and the corresponding
time value under the sterilization status during the sterilization process, and also
record the property of the using program, pulse times, sterilization time, drying

44
time, sterilization temperature and other parameters. Through observing these val-
ues and whether meeting the requirements, the good or bad sterilization effect can
be judged preliminarily.
② Stationary Point Thermometer Detection: The structure of the stationary point
thermometer is the same as that of the thermometer, but its highest temperature
can reach 180℃, and it needs being less than 50℃ while using. It shall be placed in
the central position of the sterilization pack during using. Several stationary point
thermometers are used for testing the temperature of various points. After steriliz-
ing, observe whether the displayed temperature value achieved the required tem-
perature. The defect of this method is that it only displays the temperature, without
indicating the duration of this point at this temperature.
③ Thermocouple Detection: This method is to put the electrode of the thermo-
couple into the part to be tested by the sterilizer, close the cabinet door and lead
out the wire. The verification device makes the data analysis, and the computer dis-
plays the tested temperature value of various points in due time. By using this
method, the uniformity of the temperature in various points and the stability of the
sterilization temperature in the inner chamber of the sterilizer can be detected.
7.2.2. Chemical Detection Mode
① Using a chemical indicating card: Such kind of indicating cards can be divided
into the chemical indicating card used for the pressure steam sterilization effect de-
tection under three temperatures as 115℃, 121℃ and 132℃. While using, the
chemical indicating card, which can not only indicate the temperature but also indi-
cate the duration of the temperature, shall be put into the middle part of the dress-
ing pack to be sterilized. Upon a sterilization cycle, the indicating card shall be taken
out, and compared and judged with the standard color. If the color of the indicator
is deeper than the standard color, the sterilization shall be qualified; conversely, the
sterilization shall be made again.
② Using a chemical indicating adhesive belt: This adhesive belt is coated with
tackiness agent at one side and chemical indicator at the other side. It can be used
as indicator distinguishing ‘Sterilized’ and ‘Non Sterilization’, and also can be pasted
on the surface of the dressing pack as the pack strip seal. After finishing the sterili-
zation, the uniform blackening of the indicator color can indicate whether receiving
the sterilized treatment, thus further proving the possibility of the successful sterili-
zation.

The chemical indicator for the detection must be approved by the hy-
giene department, and used within the period of validity.

45
7.2.3. Biological Detection Mode
The biological detection means the final detection method of using the live microor-
ganisms to detect the sterilized objects, so as to identify whether the microorganisms
in the sterilized objects die fully, and assess whether the sterilization device makes
the qualified sterilization.
 Calibrating the indicating bacterium: It adopts the international ‘Bacillus Stea-
rothermophilus’ with the strongest heat resistance which is most difficult to be
killed as the sterilization indicator.
 Culture Medium: The culture medium for the test is the bromocresol purple
peptone water medium.
 Detection Method: Two sporeforms slices of Bacillus Stearothermophilus are
respectively put into the small paper bags for the sterilization, and placed in the
middle part of the standard test pack (the pack dimension of 25cm× 30cm× 30cm).
The test pack is put above the steam drain of the chamber. After finishing the steri-
lization, the standard test pack is taken out and put into the bromocresol purple
peptone water medium under the sterile conditions. Upon culturing for 7 days at
56℃, observe the color change of the culture medium. While detecting, the nega-
tive control and positive control are set.
 Result: The colors of all culture media are not changed, which is judged to be
the qualified sterilization. In case that the purple turns into yellow, it shall be re-
garded as the failure of the sterilization.
 Treatment: In case of the disqualified sterilization, this batch of objects can be
firstly stored temporarily, and the possible causes of the failed sterilization can be
found. Then the sterilization treatment is made again. Also multiple biological indi-
cators in the same manufacturer or the same type of the biological indicator in vari-
ous manufacturers can be used for detecting the sterilization effect of the sterilizer
again. Carefully check the production date and effective date of the biological indi-
cator, whether having the damages, and whether having the pollution during the
culture process.
 It is allowed to use other detection methods approved by the Ministry of
Health, and make the biological detection on the sterilization effect by reference to
the instructions.
 Before the normal use upon debugging or after the overhauling, the device
should receive the qualified biological detections continuously for three times, and
then can be put into use.
Three methods as physical detection, chemical detection and biological detection re-
spectively have their different purposes and significances, therefore, they cannot be
replaced each other, and should be mutually combined for using.
Three methods as physical detection, chemical detection and biological detection re-

46
Physical detection--It can describe the running status of the sterilized device, and can
intuitively display the time, temperature, pressure and other relevant parameters
during the working process.
Chemical detection--It can detect whether finishing the sterilization process, under-
stand how the penetrating power of the steam on the pack is, provide the first visual
inspection instantly after finishing the sterilization, and assist to judge the steriliza-
tion effect.
Biological detection--It is mainly used for the final judgment of the sterilization effect,
with the high cost and long time, so it cannot be used for each pack or each boiler.
7.2.4. Bowie-Dick Test (BD Test)
BD test was designed by two Scottish microbiologists as J.H.Bowie and J.Dick in 1963,
specialized in testing the air discharge effect of the vacuum pressure steam sterilizer.
 Vacuum Test Chart: The mixture composed by various chemicals is manufactured
into the indicator ink by the fixed carrier. The indicator ink is printed on the paper
with some air permeability and the particular size by the specific printing mode,
forming the fixed pattern, and then a vacuum test chart for B-D test shall be gener-
ated. The chemical indicator in the test chart has the sensitivity on the residual air,
and can detect whether the residual air exists in the test pack.
 BD Test: This test should be made before the sterilization for the first time every
day. The test is to place the vacuum test chart into the middle position of the test
pack (the one-off B-D test pack can also be used), then the test pack is put into the
steam drain of the chamber. Close the cabinet door, and make the sterilization test
in accordance with the set sterilization parameters (134℃ 4 min). After finishing
the sterilization, open the cabinet door, unfasten the test pack, take out the test
chart, and observe the testing result.
 Preparation of Test Pack: The test pack is composed of the pure cotton linen with
the size of 46~50 cm× 80~90 cm. The linen is horizontally folded for three layers,
and then vertically folded for six layers. The folded linens are stacked one by one up
to the height of 25 cm. While stacking, the linens of each layer are placed with right
and left alternately in accordance with the folding sides, so as to make the thickness
at both sides equal. After the lines are placed properly, the vacuum test chart is put
between the lines of the middle layer, and then is wrapped up by the cloth, and the
surface is fixed by the chemical indicating sealing rubber gasket, so it becomes a
test pack. For the size of the entire test pack, the length is about 27~30 cm, the
width is about 23~25 cm, the height is about 25~28 cm, and the weight is about 4~5
kg.
 Result Judgment: The test chart is blackened and uniform, that is to say, the color
of the midsection is consistent with that of the edge section, which indicates that
the air is discharged thoroughly and the vacuum pumping system of the sterilizer is
favorable, so it can be used. If the test chart changes color without the uniformity,
generally the color of the midsection is shallower than that of the edge section,

47
which indicates that the air is not discharged thoroughly and the performance of
the sterilizer is not good, so it can be used after repairing.
 Notes: Before using, the linen should be washed once at least, but cannot re-
ceive the hot iron, because the excessive drying will influence the testing result. For
the reused test pack, the linen must be cleaned. During the continuous testing, the
pack should be opened every time, and the linen is dried by airing for an hour. Then
repack again. The excessively humid linen can influence the testing result. The pack
should be loose, and should not too tight or too small.
 Essential Conditions: Name of the sterilization pack; Sterilization date or expiry
date; Name or code of the verifier and packer for the instruments; Sterilization
mark in the sealing position.
 The result only describes the vacuum status of the device and the residual
quantity of the cold air, without expressing whether the sterilized objects have the
qualified sterilization.

7.3. Energy Saving and Environmental Protection
