The use of autoclaves is incorrectly described as autoclaves require the addition of auxiliary agents during sterilization.
Autoclaves do not require the addition of auxiliary agents in the sterilization process. Autoclave is the use of high-temperature and high-pressure conditions of heat treatment technology, will be placed in a high-pressure container for sterilization treatment, heating time and pressurized conditions can be very good to kill bacteria, viruses and fungi.
In the autoclave sterilization process, there is no need to add any auxiliary agents, only need to add appropriate water in the autoclave, adjust the acidity and pH value of the water to ensure the sterilization effect. Meanwhile, the autoclave has the features of high efficiency and energy saving, rapid sterilization, tight sealing, etc. It is widely used in cleaning and sterilizing food, medical equipment and other aspects.
Correct use of autoclave
1, check whether the various parts of the autoclave is normal, and put the autoclave on a smooth ground.
2, the items to be sterilized into the autoclave, and ensure that there is enough space between the items.
3, add appropriate amount of water, and adjust the acidity and pH value of the water to ensure the sterilization effect.
4. Close the safety locking device of the autoclave and adjust the pressure control valve on the pressure gauge to ensure that the sterilization process is carried out at the set temperature and pressure.
5, open the autoclave heating switch, in the equipment for the pressure state for sterilization, and strictly control the heating time and speed of warming.
6, after the end of sterilization, turn off the autoclave heating switch, and wait for the autoclave temperature to fall to a safe temperature, open the autoclave exhaust device, discharge steam and pressure.
7, open the autoclave safety locking device, and take out the sterilized items.
8, the autoclave sterilization pot for cleaning and maintenance, keep it clean and tidy, and regular inspection and replacement of autoclave parts.
Autoclave sterilizer use is not complicated, but need to carefully follow the operating steps and precautions. In the process of use, attention should be paid to the quality of operation and equipment status monitoring and maintenance, and pay attention to safety and health issues, so as to ensure the effective application of autoclave.
