Shall have capability to sterilize both solids and liquids. • Capable of operation utilizing building supplied steam. Building pressure set point is 70 psi, but pressure at unit is decreased due to distance from source. • Capable of operation utilizing building supplied potable water. • Autoclave should include a backflow prevention device. • Sterilizer shall use electric power • Have an insulated sterilization chamber of sufficient size to sterilize mouse caging (19″L x 10-1/2″W x 6″D) and rat caging (19″L x 10″W x 8 1/2″D). • Certified and stamped as meeting Underwriters Laboratories Standard 61010-1, Safety Requirements for Electrical Equipment for Measurement, Control, and Laboratory Use – Part 1: General Requirements • Certified and stamped as meeting ASME Boiler and Pressure Code Section VIII Division 1. • Shall be provided with preprogrammed cycles meeting sterilization requirements for infectious waste as required State of North Carolina regulations including a gravimetric, prevacuum, and liquid sterilization cycle. • Control system permits storage of at least 5 preprogrammed cycles. • Controls provide the option of requiring an access code or other identification method to operate the sterilizer or change cycle parameters. • Controls shall be located so as not to expose the sensitive components to steam and heat. • Controls shall be capable of providing a printed record of all pertinent cycle data including key transition points in the cycle and alarms and deviations that may jeopardize the sterilization process. • Pressure gauges displaying the chamber and jacket pressure accessible to the operator. • An operators manual. • The following safety features and alarms, if possible: o Chamber Emergency Manual Exhaust Valve – allows the operator to vent the chamber and save the product in case of power outage. o Chamber door seal interlock and alarm – prevent cycle starting until the door is sealed and aborts the cycle and safely exhausts the chamber if door seal is lost during the cycle. Interlock should also prevent the door from being opened until chamber is vented to a safe pressure. o Excessive condensate/vessel flooding – alarm and interlock to abort the cycle and vent the chamber safely if excessive condensate is sensed within the chamber. o Pressure relief valve – prevent chamber pressure greater than rated pressure. o Under Temperature Alarm – informs the operator that the temperature has dropped the sterilization temperature. o Over Temperature Alarm – informs the operator that the chamber temperature has gone above a set point. o Waste line alarm – informs the operator that drain line temperature is outside the normal range. o Pressure/temperature alarm – informs the operator that chamber pressure or temperature readings are outside the normal steam range during sterilize phase. |
