MP24 Control System by Rodwell Scientific Instruments

CONTROL FEATURES

• 20 standard programmable pre-set cycles
• Allows the operator to pre-set up to 20 cycles. These cycles can be set up exactly how the operator requires them. Once set, subsequent operators only have to choose a program number and press start.
• For example Program 2 can be set as: - P2) 15 minutes @134deg c, Load ON, Timed Free Steam 7 minutes
• 4 Instrument Cycles (normally locked off)
• Instrument cycle settings will allow the chamber to exhaust at the end of the cycle. This means that dry loads such as empty glassware can be sterilised much more quickly than liquid loads. The exhausting of the chamber also causes excess moister to boil of and load to be removed dry at the end of the cycle.

  Delayed Start Feature Enables the autoclave to be loaded at the end of the day and be set to start automatically in the early hours of the following morning. This is so the autoclave would have already run through it’s first cycle and media or instruments are ready to work with when scientists arrive in the morning. Load Activated Sterilising
  A load probe is placed into the largest load and stops the timer from starting until the load and chamber have reached set point temperature. This feature can be switched on/off for over-sensitive media.
  
  Timed Free Steaming
  The autoclave will heat up in two stages. Stage 1 will take the autoclave to around 95 degc. The chamber will then free steam for a pre-set period (specified by the operator) and then in the second stage to set point temperature. This helps for good steam penetration into the load and helps prevent overcooking of media. This can be switched on/off and is variable, pre-set into the program by the operator.
  
  Media Stay-Warm for Media Pouring
  Keeps the chamber warm so media can still be poured for some time after cycle complete.
  
  Smart card control
  Operator access to the autoclave control system by the operator by means of a smart card. The following cards are available: -
  

  • 1) Supervisor Card is issued as standard with the autoclave and allows the full operator access to the autoclave programs. It will allow all cycle parameters to be set, adjusted and locked off if required.
  • 2) Operator cards can also be issued as optional extras. These allow certain operators to gain access to certain programs. These cards will not allow access to certain programs if the supervisor requires. These can be pre-programmed by means of a simple telephone call or email to Rodwell.
  • 3) Autoclave Settings card is available should the autoclave require upgrading (such as automatic fill added) or re-calibrating at a later date.
