-
Check the Door Seal: Inspect the door seal for any signs of wear, cracking, or damage. Replace it as needed to ensure a proper seal and avoid leaks during sterilization.
-
Descale the System: Periodically descale the autoclave to prevent mineral buildup, especially in areas with hard water. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for descaling procedures.
-
Inspect the Water Reservoir: Regularly check the water reservoir for cleanliness and to ensure there is no standing water or debris that could affect performance.
-
Replace Filters as Needed: Replace air, water, and vacuum filters according to the manufacturer's recommended schedule or when performance diminishes.
-
Check for Leaks: Regularly inspect the autoclave for any water or steam leaks, especially around the door seal and pressure valve. Address any issues immediately.
-
Perform System Tests: Run the autoclave's test cycles (e.g., sterilization and vacuum tests) periodically to confirm it is operating correctly and within the required parameters.
-
Lubricate Moving Parts: Apply the appropriate lubricant to moving components, such as the door and valve mechanisms, to ensure smooth operation.
-
Monitor Pressure and Temperature: Regularly check the pressure and temperature gauges to ensure that the autoclave is reaching the correct sterilization conditions.
