Printer Tape Description
The printer will print the following information for each program cycle:
- Model Number: indicates sterilizer model and software version.
- Cycle Number: reflects actual cycle count of sterilizer.
- Sterilizer ID: Serial Number of sterilizer.
- Operator: a line is printed so the operator’s signature can be recorded on the printer tape.
- Date Time: of start of each cycle
- “BEGIN selected CYCLE”: to indicate the beginning of the cycle selected by the operator.
- Summary of selected cycle set points.
Once the cycle starts, the printer will print the words “FILLING CHAMBER” to show that the sterilizer is filing with water. Once the sterilizer begins the Heating Phase of the sterilization cycle, the word “HEATING” is printed and the printer will print the chamber temperature, pressure, and elapsed time in 2 minute increments until the heating phase is completed.
When the sterilizer enters the sterilization phase, the word “STERILIZING” is printed and the printer will print the chamber temperature, pressure, and elapsed time in 1 minute increments until the sterilization phase is completed. When the sterilizer has completed the sterilization phase of the program cycle, the printer will print the words “VENTING CHAMBER” to show that the steam pressure is being exhausted from the chamber.
When the sterilizer enters the drying phase, the word “DRYING” is printed and the printer will print the words “DRYING START” and show temperature, pressure, and elapsed time in 5 minute increments starting with 5:00. The printer continues to print the elapsed time in 5 minute increments until the drying phase is completed. The final record for the drying phase will include the words “DRYING COMPLETE”. In the event the drying time is programmed to a time that isn’t divisible by 5, the final printed record for the drying phase will reflect the actual programmed drying time in 1 minute increments, e.g. a programmed dry time of 12 minutes will have 5,10,and 12 minutes printed on the printer tape.
When the sterilizer has completed the drying phase of the sterilization cycle, the printer will print a summary of the sterilization cycle with the duration of each phase of the cycle and the Total Cycle Time. Following the summary the printer will print “CYCLE COMPLETE”.
[ NOTE: If drying cycle is aborted, “DRYING COMPLETE” and “CYCLE COMPLETE” will not print].
