TABLE OF CONTENTS

Introduction

As leaders in the field of sterilization, our goal is

to engineer and manufacture safe, efficient,

quality sterilization products. We are certain you

will agree that this sterilizer meets our goal.

Regardless of how well a piece of equipment is

designed, misuse, abuse, or neglect will deny its

owner the safe, efficient, quality service

expected. Often, misuse, abuse or neglect occurs

unintentionally because the operator is unaware

of the proper operating and maintenance

procedures. This manual provides you with the

information required to properly operate and

routinely maintain your sterilizer. The information

included in this manual applies to all models

unless noted for specific models.

We urge you to read this manual carefully before

operating the unit, and retain it for future

reference.

Operation Overview

Hydroclave MC8 and MC10

Steam Sterilizer

The MC8 and MC10 sterilizer operates on the

principle of heated water converted to steam in a

sealed pressure chamber.

What happens when the controls are turned

on?

• The chamber vent valve opens and the

heater turns on to warm up the chamber.

The items to be sterilized are placed on

the trays and the trays are placed

inside the sterilizer chamber. (Certain

parameters such as positioning and

size of the load must be observed for

proper operation and satisfactory

result.) Then, the door is closed and

latched, and the “START” button

pressed to start the cycle.

What happens when the cycle starts?

• The water fill valve opens and the

proper amount of water automatically

flows from the reservoir into the

chamber.

• The water in the chamber begins to

heat. As the water turns to steam, the

temperature and pressure increase,

forcing air from the chamber.

• When the temperature in the chamber

reaches the proper temperature (121

or 135°C) the exposure timer begins.

During this exposure time, the

temperature in the chamber is

automatically maintained at either 121

or 135°C, plus or minus about two

degrees.

• At the completion of the exposure time

a solenoid valve opens, allowing the

steam and water to vent back into the

reservoir. The steam reenters the

INTRODUCTION

reservoir through tubing below the water

level in the reservoir. The water in the

reservoir condenses the steam to a

liquid for reuse in the next cycle.

When the one minute timed vent is

complete an indicator light on the control

panel lights to alert the operator that the

cycle is complete.

Drying cycle

At the completion of the sterilization cycle, the

drying cycle automatically begins. This cycle

continues until the selected time has elapsed or

the door is opened.

To restart a drying cycle that has been terminated

by opening the door; close the door (DO NOT

LATCH) and press the “START” button.

Operator Maintenance

It is important to establish the maintenance

schedule called for in the Operator Maintenance

section of this manual.

Daily

Before each days use: Check the water level in

the reservoir. Refill with distilled or deionized

water if needed. Clean the door gasket and its

mating surface.

INTRODUCTION

Weekly

Clean the chamber, rack and trays once a week

to prevent a buildup of mineral deposits inside

the chamber. Normal tap water contains

chemicals and minerals, chlorine being the

most common. Chlorine is especially corrosive

to the stainless steel chamber, trays and rack

when water is turned to steam during the

sterilization process. It is important to remove

any mineral deposits regularly to ensure peak

operating efficiency.

Distilled or deionized water should always be

used in the MC8 and MC10 steam sterilizer.

Even when distilled or deionized water is used,

some contaminants can collect in the chamber,

rack and trays.

Clean the reservoir, reservoir filter and chamber

screen at least every 25 cycles. A clogged filter

and/or screen will result in restricted water flow

and prolong the time it takes to fill the chamber.

Maintaining a clean reservoir, filter and

chamber screen is especially important. Foreign

particles, such as bits of oil, adhesives,

amalgam, etc., can be picked up from items

being sterilized and returned to the reservoir,

clogging the filter and screen.

The daily and weekly maintenance should be

performed as outlined above to ensure long,

trouble-free service. Failure to routinely perform

maintenance procedures could result in

processing delays or equipment down time and

possible equipment repairs.

Detailed maintenance procedures for those

listed above and also other “as required” items

are shown in the Operator Maintenance

section of this manual.
