    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Specifies requirements for fully automatic jacketed pre-vacuum steam sterilizers that operate at a sterilizing temperature of 134 degrees Celsius and are intended for use in hospitals and other non-industrial applications for the sterilization of porous loads, and instruments and utensils wrapped in porous material. The sterilizers are not intended for the sterilization of fluids, installation in areas associated with the use of flammable anaesthetics or volatile liquids, or downward-displacement cycles, unless they also comply with AS 2192.

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This Standard specifies requirements for fully-automatic jacketed pre-vacuum steam sterilizers that operate at a sterilizing temperature of 134°C and are intended for use in hospitals and other non-industrial applications for the sterilization of porous loads, and instruments and utensils wrapped in porous material. The sterilizers are not intended for— (a) sterilization of fluids; (b) installation in areas associated with the use of flammable anaesthetics or volatile liquids (see AS 1169); or (c) downward-displacement cycles, unless the sterilizer also complies with AS 2192. NOTES: 1 A sterilizer may be required to operate at a minimum of 121°C for a specific purpose. Refer to AS 4187 for sterilizer time/temperature relationships. 2 Guidance on information to be supplied with enquiries and orders is given in Appendix A. 3 Information on quality of water is given in Appendix B. 4 Information on steam supplies is given in Appendix C 5 Standards for machines that wash, sterilize or dry medical equipment in health care facilities are listed in Appendix D.
