Sterilizer Manufacturer:
Pelton & Crane
Model of Sterilizer:
Omniclave
Problem Title:
Not able to achieve sterilization temperature in allotted time when adding water up to the fill plate.
Problem Description:
When adding water up to the designated fill plate, the sterilizer was unable to reach 270 degrees, when setting the timer for 15 minutes - plus 3 minutes for unwrapped goods cycle. At the end of that 18 minutes, the sterilizer was only able to reach 248 degrees. We would like to use a lower level of water, so the sterilizer can complete the cycle in a reasonable time. Will it affect the operation if we fill only until the chamber bottom is covered below the hole for the fill plate,

Solutions

1. Do not put less water in the chamber. You will need to add more time to allow the chamber to get up to sterilization temperature.
