Precautions when using a horizontal sterilizer

Pay attention to the following when using a horizontal sterilizer:

1. This equipment is strictly prohibited to exceed the design pressure and exceed the design temperature.

2. The operator who uses the sterilization pot should pass the training test and should strictly abide by the safety operation rules and the post responsibility system. And always maintain safety accessories, complete, sensitive, reliable, and found that abnormal phenomena should be handled in a timely manner.

3. The sterilization pot is equipped with safety accessories such as safety valves, pressure gauges and thermometers. The equipment is equipped with temperature adjustment devices, which should be maintained and regularly checked during use. The safety valve opening pressure of this equipment is equal to the design pressure, and should be kept sensitive and reliable at all times, and should be prevented from being adjusted at will. The accuracy of the pressure gauge is not less than 2.5, and the lead-free pressure gauge must not be used. The accuracy should be at least once every inspection, the pressure gauge indication is out of order, the scale is unclear, the dial is broken, the pointer does not return to zero after the pressure is released, and the seal is damaged, etc., should be replaced immediately. The thermometer should be inspected regularly. It should be calibrated with a standard thermometer before use. It should be verified once a year. If the mercury column breaks and the difference from the standard temperature exceeds 0.5C, it should be repaired or replaced.

4. The sterilizing pot should be inspected regularly. At least one external inspection should be carried out every year. At least one internal inspection should be carried out every three years. At least once every six years, the comprehensive inspection should be carried out. The preparations and inspection items before the inspection are in accordance with the “Procedures” and relevant regulations. Conduct, inspection report archived.

5. During the use process, grease and oil should be applied to the sliding and rolling contact parts of the inclined self-locking wedges, rollers, pot ears, swivels, flanges, etc. to ensure that the friction surface is in a lubrication state.

6. When the sealing ring on the flange surface of the pot body is aging, if the defect and wear are too large, it should be replaced in time to ensure the seal and prevent leakage.

When the horizontal sterilization pot is deactivated, the inner and outer surfaces of the sterilization pot and the lid should be cleaned and dried, and the surface brush should be exposed to prevent rust oil. The safety inspection and control instrument should be covered and protected.
