We often see the doctors and the medical staffs who use the tools for different kind of operation as well as surgeries. The main point of concern is regarding the safe wash of all the tools after the operation. Vertical Autoclave/steam sterilizers are very useful machine that which help in cleaning the tools by producing the heat and steam in the machine that simply sterilize all the equipment in order to remove germs and bacteria.
Vertical Autoclaves/sterilizers are known as one of the most used or well-known versions in the sterilizer category.
Important Parts of a vertical Autoclave/Steam Sterilizer
Power Switch: The first and foremost button of any machine is the power button. Similarly, the main power I/O (on/off) switch in the machine controls all power to the unit of the autoclave and as instructed it must be in the ON position before any systems starts its operation.
Main Temperature Control: In an Autoclave steam the Main Temperature Control option always consists of the digital display and UP and DOWN arrow pads these pads helps the user in putting up the desired temperature in the machine and calibration of the autoclave machine.
Heating Lamp: This button works pretty simple by one click procedure where the pilot lamp is ON when the unit is heating up to set point and starts blinking when controlling temperature at set point.
Water level indicator: As we all know that sometime water can cause damage to the machine, therefore, an indicators is given in the machine to show the water level all the time. It helps in indicating the water that enters inside the chamber. It has to be around the given mentioned level.
Safety valve: It becomes very dangerous when the pressure of the chamber increase. Therefore, this valve helps to provide for safety in case of high pressure condition. Safety valve automatically open in case of high pressure of the chamber.
Pressure release valve: There is a method to release the excess pressure from the valve for that you will have to use the pressure release valve to release pressure of the chamber in a horizontal autoclave after completion of work.
Water release valve: This valve simply helps to release water from the valve for saving the machine from any hazard due to access of water.
Pressure gauge: It is pneumatic type pressure gauge. It is given in the front side of the machine for pressure display of working chamber.
Lift Pedal: This pedal is mainly used to lift up the whole mechanism, unlike their horizontal counterparts, pedal mechanism acts as a support to lift the heavy lid of the sterilizer.
Pressure Control Switch: To control the pressure of the switch all you have to do is cut down the electrical connection when certain pressure reaches its set value inside the chamber.
Conclusion: – In the above article we have mentioned all the important parts of a Vertical Autoclave steam. It is very important to know the working of the machine as well as their important parts therefore if any problem occurs then the users can easily handle it. Â
