2.Turn the plug located on the upper part of the valve anti-clockwise until it reaches the end of the thread and turns loose.
3.Return the plug to its original position,screw it back on and repeat the operation from the beginning at least a couple of times.
WARNING: this operation ensures the safety valve works correctly over time. Make sure the plug is properly
closed afterwards.
Adjusting the closing mechanism

WARNING: HIGH TEMPERATURE. Only perform this operation when the machine is cold.

The closing mechanism of the unit occasionally requires adjusting due to normal settling of mechanical parts and wear on the
seal gasket.This is particularly important as a poor seal may prevent the pressure from increasing to the level set for the
selected program and therefore jeopardise the result of the cycle.Proceed as follows
1. Open the door. Always work with the unit cold.
Page 44 of 62
2.Fit the extraction and adjustment lever between the door gasket and the guard,holding it with its widest part.Slip the tip into
the nut in the middle of the door gasket.
3.Turn the adjustment pin anticlockwise, looking at the door gasket, by 1/8 of a turn (to close).
4.Check that the door closes properly. If the handle is too hard to close, turn a little in the opposite direction (clockwise).
5.Carry out a test cycle to check it is correctly adjusted.

Page 46 of 62
8.3.1 Rusting
The unit is made from materials that make it impossible for rust to form on the instruments to sterilize.
The formation of rust on the surfaces of the unit or instruments is caused by the introduction of rusty instruments,even if
made from stainless steel, or of instruments in normal steel that cause galvanisation to take place.
The introduction of a single instrument with a rust stain is often sufficient to form and develop rust on the instruments and in
the unit itself.

WARNING: DISCONNECT POWER SUPPLY BEFORE STARTING WORK.Non-observance may cause serious
injury to people or may seriously damage the unit.

If rust forms in the unit,clean the walls of the sterilization chamber and the tray holder using special products for stainless steel,
as described previously in the paragraph "Cleaning the sterilization chamber, accessories,door and gasket".

WARNING: do not use metal sponges or brushes.Use a damp soft cloth to remove dirt stains.

9. Scrapping
9.1 SCRAPPING INSTRUCTIONS

The JQ-A series unit has been manufactured using ferrous materials, electrical components and plastics. To scrap the unit,
separate the various components according to the material they are made of in order to simplify reuse or differentiated disposal.
No particular operations are required after scrapping.
Do not dump the unit.

out and how to use and service the machine. Also inform Getidty.M.I.Co.ltd.of the sale and provide it with data about the new
purchaser.

Page 47 of 62
APPENDIX 1 Preparing the instruments for sterilization
A correct sterilization depends on the processes described below being carried out correctly; these are al lequally important
and, therefore, care must be taken while performing them.
1. Preparing the instruments to sterilize; 2. Packing; 3. Loading; 4. Sterilization;
5. Preserving the sterilized instruments; 6. Routine maintenance of the unit.
All the objects must be decontaminated and carefully cleaned and dried before being sterilized. In the case of instruments
with parts that are joined to each other, divide the parts or open them as wide apart as possible.
In the case of overalls or other reusable fabrics, these must be washed and dried after use and before sterilization,to remove
organic material and lengthen the "life" of the fabric, restoring it with its natural watercontent (i.e. degree of humidity).

The objectives of the initial decontamination procedure are as follows:


a) inactivating bacterial proliferation; b) preventing mutual contamination while handling instruments;
c) preventing any products present on the instrument from drying up; d) protecting personnel
Decontamination is carried out using detergents and, generally, solutions that are active against HIV, HBV and HCV,or by
washing at 93 °C for ten minutes in thermo-disinfectors. Observe the indications given in thetechnical data sheets of the
products used.
The instruments are cleaned so as to eliminate blood, saliva,dentin and organic substances in general, that may damage the
materials to be sterilized or even the sterilizer itself.The use of ultrasound baths isrecommended,which offer numerous
advantages with respect to traditional cleaning methods, such as efficacy,speed and delicacy on the object being cleaned;
always follow the recommendations provided by the respective manufacturers. In general, after ultrasound cleaning with
detergent and/or disinfectant,rinsing the instrument is recommended, in that the disinfectant may take on corrosive chara-
cteristics as a result of the heat.

Always clean the solution carefully to avoid residues of moisture.Once dry, the instruments to be sterilized in the unit must be
appropriately packaged, whereas those to be cold sterilized must be immersed in the appropriate chemical solution (glutara-
ldehyde, paracetic acid, etc.).
Checking the instruments to be used is also important: ensure that devices with the following characteristics are not subject
to sterilization:
- breaks
- stains
- rust
- mono-use devices that cannot be reused
Page 48 of 62
APPENDIX 2 Packaging
The correct packaging of the materials is essential in ensuring that sterility is maintained.Packaging of the instruments is done
so as to maintain the materials sterile until the time of their use.

The way in which the sterilized instruments are packaged, and then stocked, determines the state of preservation of sterilization.

The following can be used as containers: metal containers with lids or perforated bottoms with filters in paper, pouches in paper
or polypropylene,Medical Grade paper or trays that are perforated or with grilles.
Pouches in paper-polypropylene are excellent packaging systems for steam sterilizing small sets of surgical instruments or
individual instruments.

Use materials that comply with EN868-1 for packaging the materials to sterilize.

Do not re-sterilize the pouches in paper-polypropylene and the Medical Grade,in that they undergo a substantial
change in their structural characteristics and would no longer guarantee the characteristics of "protective barrier".

For packaging, observe the following recommendations (for pouches in paper-polypropylene):


1. Contents must not exceed ¾ of the volume of the pouch
2. The instruments must be positioned so that they can be extracted by their handle
3. The sealing strip on the pouch must be continuous with a height of at least 6mm (UNI EN 868-3).

Each package prepared must at least indicate the date of sterilization, the type of cycle performed and the date in which the
preservation of sterility expires; this latter value must be established considering the length of preservation of sterility as
indicated by the manufacturer of the packaging material,the internal procedure used and the stocking conditions of the
sterilized material itself.
Instruments packaged in individual pouches have a life (in terms of sterility) of 30 days, those in double pouches of 60, if
kept in closed cabinets.These values are,in any case,to be considered indicative,in that the date of preservation is influenced
by various factors,such as the environmental microbic level,the granulometry of environmental dusts (that act as carriers of
micro-organisms),as well as the temperature, pressure and ambient humidity parameters and the degree of handling of the
sterilized material.

Packaging methods that make it possible to avoid partial withdrawals and that allow for mono-patient use are optimum.
Page 49 of 62
APPENDIX 3 Positioning the load
The way in which the load to sterilize is arranged is also considerably important to the sterilization process.Always observe
the maximum load indicated in this manual,a value that has been tested by the manufacturer and that is therefore valid.

- Always use the tray supports, to facilitate the circulation of steam.


-Do not load trays that are not being used.
-Load the unused trays in an upside down position, to avoid any accumulation of water in the boiler.
-Where it is necessary to sterilize loose instruments, it is advisable to cover the tray with sheets of Tray Paper to avoid any
direct contact of the instruments with the tray.
-Ensure that instruments of different materials are separated and placed on different trays.
-For improved sterilization,open instruments such as pincers,scissors,or other composite instruments.
-Position the instruments sufficiently distant from one another that they remain separate for the whole sterilization cycle.
-Do not stack instruments on the tray: overloading could compromise sterilization.
-Mirrors should be placed glass side down.
-Do not stack the trays on top of each other,but use the tray support.It is necessary to leave a space between each tray to allow
for the circulation of steam during the sterilization phase and then to facilitate drying.
-Place a chemical sterilization indicator on each tray.

- Tubes
After the tubes have been cleaned normally, rinse them using water without pyrogene.
Place them on the tray so that the two ends are open and so that they do not bend or twist.

- Packages
Place the packages upwards, next to each other, do not allow them to come into contact with the sides of the chamber.

- Material in pouches
When sterilizing material in pouches, do not overlap the pouches on the trays (Fig. A3-1).
Place the pouch with the transparent side face down (in contact with the tray) and with the paper face up (Fig. A3-2).
Instruments must be put into separate pouches.

Page 50 of 62
After following the instructions above, put the tray holder and trays into the sterilization chamber.

WARNING: insert the tray support and the trays, paying particular attention not to damage the door gasket.

APPENDIX 4 Unloading and preserving sterilized instruments


The material is at the greatest risk of contamination while it is still hot,because the barrier capabilities of the packaging
materials are much lower in the presence of residual humidity,compared to an ambient temperature situation.The materials,
therefore,should not be stacked once they have been extracted, in order to favour the dispersion of heat.
Wait for the material to drop to room temperature before stocking it: before stocking, make sure that the packages are
intactand check the chemical colour change;if the package is broken or torn,the load can only be used immediately,in that
preservation of sterility cannot be guaranteed.
The indicative times for preserving the material are shown below, considering that the material itself is kept in closed cabinets
away from light, heat and humidity.
Type of material Suggested time (in days)

Combination of paper-polypropylene 30 (single) - 60 (double)

Metal containers, with standard-grade filters 28/30


Medical Grade with double orthogonal layer 28/30
Page 51 of 62
The material should be stocked in sealed cabinets, 30 cm away from the floor and 5 cm from the ceiling; if this is not possible,
protect the material in nylon bags.

We emphasize the fact that the times indicated in the table above are indicative, in that the preservation of

i sterility depends on numerous factors, such as the ambient microbic level, the size of the dust particles, the
ambient conditions of temperature, pressure and humidity, as well as the degree of handling of the sterilized
materials themselves.

APPENDIX 6 Description of Tests
It is important to periodically verify the performance of the unit by performing the appropriate tests; JQ-A series can
perform three different ones:
--B&D test -- Vacuum test -- Helix test

The frequency at which these tests should The parameters of the respective cycles are as follows:
be performed is indicated below:
Parameter cycles Vacuum Test B&D Test Helix Test

Vcauum Test Monthly Temperature ---------- 135.5 135.5

B&D Test Daily Pressure -0.880bar 2.16bar 2.16bar


Sterilization ---------- 3’30” 3’30”
Helix Test Daily
Drying ---------- 20’ 20’

Vacuum Test

This test is performed in order to check the performance of the unit, in particular:
- the efficiency of the vacuum pump;
-the seal of the pneumatic circuit. P
The cycle is structured as follows:
1. a vacuum is created up to -0.880 bar t1 t2 t3 t4
2. this pressure is maintained for 5 minutes and then measured
3. pressure is maintained for 10 minutes and then measured t
4. Pressure in Chamber balance with the air pressure,2 min.
®

In compliance with EN13060, the test requires a tightness test of


less than or equal to 1.3 mbar/min during the 10 minutes of test;
if the leakage is greater than this value, the outcome of the test -0.880bar
is negative; the seal of the pneumatic circuit of the device must P2 P3
be checked.
P1
Page 55 of 62
In order to achieve a correct result, the test must be carried out with the unit cold, i.e.within 3
minutes from machine start-up.
Bowie & Dick test

This is a chemical-physical test that is also known as the Brown test: the indicator is a heat-sensitive sheet that is placed in
the middle of a packet made up of various layers of paper and foam rubber.
The B&D test simulates the performance of the unit with regard to P
the sterilization of porous loads, in particular:
--the efficiency of the preliminary vacuum and the penetration of steam
within the pores; STS STE
P3 DS
--the temperature and pressure values of the saturated steam during P1 P2
the sterilization phase.

The packet for the B&D test must be inserted on its own, preferably on the DE
lowest tray, with the label facingup.
After performing the cycle, specifically the 134 cycle, immediately verify
the test. Being careful while handling V1 V2 V3
the packet (it is still hot), remove the indicator sheet and follow the instr- t
Pre-Vacuum Drying
uctions given in the package for evaluating the result of the test.
Pre-Heating Sterilization
Helix test

The Helix test represents a hollow A-type load, i.e. the load with themost critical
characteristics.
The test consists of a tube in polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)with a length of 150mm and
internal diameter of 2mm.
The Helix test simulates the performance of the unit with respect to the sterilization of
hollow loads,in particular:

--the efficiency of the preliminary vacuum and the penetration of steam within the pores;
--the temperature and pressure values of the saturated steam during the sterilization phase.

or greater amount than those of a hollow load.

--Porous load: material that is capable of absorbing fluids; in particular this regards:
A . a full porous load when the load occupies 95 ±5 % of the usable space.
B . a light porous load when the load occupies 20-25% of the usable space.
C . a small porous load when the load occupies 0.5-5% of the usable space.

--Hollow load A :space open at one end in which 1 L/D 750,where D is the diameter of the cavity and L the length,with L
1500mm,or space open at both ends in which 2 L/D 1500, with L 3000mm and that is not hollow load B.

-- Hollow load B : space open at one end in which 1 L/D 5, where D is the diameter of the cavity and L thelength, with D
5mm, or space open at both ends in which 2 L/D 10, with D 5mm.
