Produc Productt Presentation Presentation

The new range of Steelco VS 15H, 18H sterilization units.

Series

autoclaves includes models with 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 12H,

Steelco VS Series is characterized by an innovative line and a careful and flexible design. The models are available both with a single and double door, and left- or right- technical compartment. Ergonomic load height and integrated railways allow the easy positioning of the load. Into the front panel is mounted a monitor LCD “Touch-screen” and a push-button membrane with six  button for setting. The LCD monitor depending on the position of state: program or management, displays some buttons that selected by press in the display area what they check specific control functions. It indicates the various phases, the parameters of the cycle both in numeric form and graphic form, any anomalies or failures, audit-trails etc. Each sterilization cycle is automatically recorded into the  physics memory of the computer . At the end of the cycle a report containing the identification data and the graphical trend of the pressure and temperature is printed in compliance with the requirements of the technical standard UNI EN 285 on a 112 mm thermal printer also installed on the front panel of the machine (access to the autoclave is managed using passwords with different access levels). Maximum integration with the client’s IT systems.

1.7

Fields of us use e

The Steelco VS series autoclaves are designed for hospital sterilization, i.e. they are suitable to operate on porous and rubber materials, on surgical instruments, on materials pre-packaged into bags,  provided they can withstand working temperatures of up to 140°C 140°C and maximum pressure of 2.5 bar. It is preferable to avoid sterilizing materials that include additives and/or chemical solvents.

The use of sterilizing autoclaves must be entrusted to responsible personnel It is advisable to carry out the Bowie & Dick test to check the effectiveness of the sterilization process. It is possible to sometimes carry out the test to check for vacuum seal, to see if the machine has any seal problems. If the Bowie & Dick test is successful, the machine can be used (each cycle should in any case be validated by a manager, and the result of the Bowie & Dick test does not exempt the user from the obligation of validating the entire sterilization process as required by the technical standard UNI EN ISO 17665-1). Warning: test documentation must be conserved in compliance with current legislation. Improper use of the autoclave relieves the manufacturer of any liability

2. CONSTRUCTIONAL CHARACTERISTICS The new Steelco VS series autoclaves are characterized by a body completely in stainless steel AISI 316L/316Ti with parallelepiped chamber and tilting towards the drain, with cylindrical chamber for models 1-1,5-2; thermal insulation is guaranteed by an innovative and practical textile cover. The vertical sliding doors are molded and do not have any welding. The doors' vertical movement is carried out by a toothed belt motorized system or by linear actuator (models 010-015-020). This system is more precise and quieter during opening and closing. The doors' anti-crushing plate, compliant with safety standards CEI EN 61010-1 and CEI EN 61010-2-040, is characterized by a new design that is easy to clean. In addition, it is sufficient to apply minimum pressure to stop the door, maximizing the responsiveness of the safety system. The new Steelco VS series autoclaves guarantee excellent performance in sterilization cycles whilst optimizing water and steam consumption. Tri-clamp hydraulic connections make it easy to maintain the systems which have been arranged on the front part of the autoclave. The vacuum pump has two-stages; electrical versions are equipped with a new steam generator with integrated visual level and with power up to 64 kW. The autoclave's front part houses a tray for the vacuum pump, which allows the latter to be easily extracted for maintenance. The base is equipped with guides for pallet hand trucks, in order to be able to lift the autoclave and transport it safely and easily. The load-bearing structure rests on 4 height-adjustable feet to ensure that the unit is balanced. The autoclave, except for models 010-015-020, is designed to rapidly reduce the total width to just 950 mm, to allow easy access to the technical panels, which can be placed on both the right and left side. Temperatures of accessible parts and internal parts are within the limits set forth by safety standards CEI EN 61010-1 and CEI EN 61010-2-040 and by product standard UNI EN 285; Manifolds compliant with technical standard UNI EN 285 for insertion of additional probes (in the sterilization chamber or in the well) and for connection of instruments required for physical qualification required by technical standard UNI EN ISO 17665-1; The seal of the autoclave is obtained via a silicon gasket, housed in a cavity obtained by precision working of a ring welded to the body, pushed against the door by steam injection. Before the door is opened, a vacuum is created in the cavity that houses the gasket so that the gasket is detached from the door before it is possible to move the door (reducing wear). Control of fluids with pneumatic valves installed with fittings with mechanical seal; Equipped with sterile filters with degree of filtering of 99.999% according to D.O.P. test; Equipped with the following indicator instruments: gauge to indicate pressure in the chamber (scale -1÷4  bar relative); gauge to indicate pressure in jacket (scale 0÷4 bar relative) aand nd gauge to indicate the  pressure of the steam (scale 0÷4 bar relative); relat ive); Instruments for measuring temperature and pressure of both control system and recording system compliant with the requirements of technical standard UNI EN 285; Equipped with a pressure safety switch for chamber pressure, a safety pressure switch for pressure in the generator (if installed), a service pressure switch for gasket pressure; a safeguard pressure switch for water supply and a safeguard pressure switch for compressed air supply;

  Equipped with internal guides for any mobile load structures (optional) which function as grille-holders (standard grille); The design pressure of the pressurized containers goes from vacuum to 3 bar relative (-1 ÷ +3 bar).

Sterilization chamber  

Electrical panel

Technical compartmen compartmentt containing the hydraulic system 

Control panel

Steam generator (only versions “E”, “I”, “EV” and “EI”) 

Figure 1 –Main components Upon the client's request at the moment of the order, the electrical panel, the technical compartment containing the hydraulic system and the control panel can be installed on the left side of the sterilization chamber instead of the right side. For the smallest models, where the technical compartment is much smaller, the electrical panel may be  placed other than as illustrated.

2.1.2  Steelco VS series performances The Steelco VS series sterilizers are designed to meet the performance requirements defined by standard EN285.

2.1.3  Unit classification (for all versions) Design pressure Operating temperature Operating pressure Overload category Degree of pollution Use Altitude (max.) Relative humidity Temperature

3 bar + vacuum 134° C 2.3 bar + vacuum II 2 Indoors ≤ 2000

m 5% to 85% 5 to + 40 °C Table 1 – Classification as standard EN 61010-1

 The Steelco units can be supplied (upon also with a power supply voltage at NOTE: VS case, Seriesthis 60 Hz frequency; in this frequency is indicated on request) the CE tag.

2.1.4  Noise/Vibrations The average weighted level of sound pressure A is lower than or equal to 56 dB(A). The declared values are measured and calculated in compliance with standard ISO 3746. Personnel responsible for the sterilizer must ensure that the level of sound pressure from the unit at the  point where it is used does not exceed a hazardous limit. If the machine is properly installed, vibration is practically non-existent.

2.1.5  Heat loss of the unit The heat loss of the unit, expressed in W, was measured by running the unit at room temperature (23±2°C) in still air. The heat loss from the front was measured with the unit running at a room temperature of 23±2°C in the working area, of 50°C in the technical area and with the loading doors closed.
