INTRODUCTION

Printed Sterilization Reports

The Steri-Vac 5XL Sterilizer is configured with a printer used for printing a graphical representation of the sterilization cycle, errors encountered during the cycle, and for printing setup information.

The attached printer is initialized when the sterilizer is powered on.

The sterilization cycle report is printed from the time the cycle begins, until the Locked Aeration stage begins. If the error is discovered during the sterilization cycle, the error is printed at the place in the sterilization report where the error was encountered. If report printing is interrupted because of an out-of-paper condition, the printing will continue once new paper is loaded and the printer initializes.

Note: An error or caution message is only printed once.

SETUP

System Reset Mode

Reset Cycle to Idle This switch setting is for development purposes only. After cycling power, the software will ask for the Master Code. If the correct code is given, the Door will UNLOCK, and the chamber will equalize. All cycle information will be reset (except cycle count). Clear Analog Sensor Offsets This setting, after cycling power, will clear the analog sensor offsets to zero. These offsets are the calibration adjustments determined at the time of manufacturing. After calibrating the sensors, these new offsets are restored. Clear Silent Abort If an Abator Lockout error (E9 or E78) or a Silent Abort error (E73 or E75) occurs, place CONFIG Dip Switch settings to Clear Silent

Abort shown in Figure 8, System Reset Mode. (The Master Code may also be required.) The software will automatically clear the error(s) and restart the last stage of the cycle. This Dip Switch setting will also clear E1, and E2. However these errors indicate memory communications problems and may be unrecoverable until U24 is replaced, Reset Site Setup and Reset Cycle to Idle are performed. Reset Site Setup This setting clears all memory and resets the program parameters to their default settings. After this reset the default setting for the stage of the cycle is Final Vacuum. After the Steri-Vac performs the final vacuum, flushing, and aeration, the door will unlock. This setting is intended for manufacturing purposes but allows the service representative to completely default all variable settings.

access code, an ID is assigned. This ID will be printed on the report header when a sterilization cycle is started. The ID of the user who stops the cycle will be printed on the trailer of the printed report. The Supervisor user will have access to the Site Setup menu and is allowed to end a cycle in which an error occurs.

B. Assigning Access Codes and IDs The access codes and corresponding IDs can be created, changed, or deleted, by either the service representative or the supervisor user. Seven normal user codes and one supervisor code can be entered. The default supervisor code is "1234". 1. Service Representative The service representative can setup access codes using normal Site Setup, in the same manner in which the supervisor does. The service representative would use the Master Code, not the supervisor access code, to reach the Site Setup menu. 2. Supervisor

a) Double Stop The supervisor can setup access codes by pressing Stop twice at the main menu and then entering the supervisor access code. The site setup menu selection list will allow USER CODES selection.

SETUP

C. Operation 1. Introduction An access code will be required to start and stop sterilization cycles when the access codes option is enabled. 2. Service Representative The service representative can start or stop a cycle by entering the Master Code. 3. Normal User Operation

a) Starting a Cycle A Steri-Vac user can start a cycle by entering his or her 4-digit access code. After a valid code is entered, the Standby Screen will appear allowing cycle temperature and aeration time changes. After pressing the Start softkey, the cycle can't be stopped by a user until another valid code is entered. b) Clearing Errors If a self-test error occurs, no access code will clear the cycle. See the section Troubleshooting and Repair (page 37). c) Stopping a Cycle During Precondition If the Stop key is pressed during the precondition stage, the user must enter a valid access code to end the cycle. After a valid code is entered, the chamber will equalize and the door will open. Pressing Stop with the door open will end the cycle.

d) Stopping a Cycle During Gas Expose If the Stop key is pressed during the gas expose stage, the supervisor access code (or Master Code) must be entered. After a valid code is entered, the final vacuum, purge, and locked aeration stages will automatically be performed. After the cycle enters the unlocked aeration stage, turn the handle. Enter the supervisor access code (or Master Code). The chamber will equalize and the door will open. If an invalid code is entered, the unlocked aeration stage will continue. When the door is open pressing Stop will end the cycle. Otherwise if the door is closed, the unlocked aeration stage will continue. e) Stopping a Cycle During Unlocked Aeration After a cycle enters the unlocked aeration stage, goods can be removed from the sterilizer by turning the handle. The chamber will equalize and the door will open. When the door is open pressing Stop will end the cycle. Otherwise if Stop is not pressed and the door is closed, the unlocked aeration stage will continue.

4. Supervisor Operation The supervisor can start and stop a cycle in exactly the same way as a normal user. The supervisor access code is the only code (other than the Master Code) that will end a cycle with an error.

Temperature Calibration (Automatic)

Automatic Temperature Conditioning Circuit Calibration (Auto Cal) should be performed first, then, if necessary, the individual temperature sensors can be adjusted.

The temperature conditioning circuit contains a precision resistor calibrated to 47.5ºC. The software calibrates the conditioning circuit (not each individual sensor).

The equations for determining the actual temperature are adjusted according to the value read from the calibration resistor. 1. Using the Up and Down softkeys,

highlight TEMPS on the Sensor Calibration menu.

2. Press the Select softkey. 3. Using the Up and Down softkeys, Figure 34, Sensor Type Calibration Menu

highlight the AUTO CAL on the Temp Calibration menu.

4. Press the Select softkey. Auto calibration is performed.

Notes: The Help Window (see Figure 47 on page 38) can be viewed to check calibration. Calibration (CAL) should be 47.5ºC ± 0.5ºC.

Each temperature sensor can be calibrated independently of the others. This is only required if temperature problems occur, such as the middle of the chamber is too hot or too cold as compared with the end temperatures. Normally, individual calibration does not need to be performed. 5. If none of the temperature sensors

require individual calibration, press the Done softkey and the Sensor Calibration menu is displayed. Otherwise continue with the next procedure.

Temperature Calibration (Individually Selected)

Note: Make sure Automatic Temperature Calibration (page 30) is performed before performing this procedure.

1. Using the Up and Down softkeys,

highlight one of the temperature sensors.

• Display • Middle • End • Recorder • Heatsink

2. Press the Select softkey. A highlighted box is shown at the top of the display with a message similar to: OPERATE 0.0°C COLDER = 37.75ºC.

Figure 36, Temperature Sensor Calibration

Note: In the following step, pressing the Up softkey will increase the C reading by about 0.5°C. The display will show OPERATES 0.5°C WARMER and the selected sensor will operate hotter by 0.5°C. Pressing the Down softkey will decrease the °C reading by about 0.5°C. The display will show OPERATES 0.5°C COLDER and the selected sensor will operate cooler by 0.5°C. These changes are saved until an Auto Cal is performed. 3. Using the Up and Down softkeys, set the

sensor calibration value as required.

4. Press the Select softkey to set the sensor calibration value and return to the Temp Calibration menu.

5. Repeat steps 1-4 for additional temperature sensors requiring individual calibration.

6. When temperature calibration is complete, press the Done softkey. The Sensor Calibration menu is displayed.

Note: If the DISPLAY is selected, the message shown is similar to: DISPLAY 0.0°C COLDER = 37.75ºC.

Note: When the sterilizer is warming up the chamber at the start of a cycle (or after an extended power loss during a cycle), the sterilizer waits for the end and middle wall temperatures to reach the cycle temperature (when in dual-zone heating mode) and for the chamber temperature (i.e., the temperature reported by the chamber temperature sensor) to get within TWO degrees of the cycle temperature

(i.e., 35°C for the 37°C cycle and 53°C for the 55°C cycle) before continuing with the cycle. Once these conditions have been met, the sterilizer considers the chamber “at temp” when the temperature reported by the chamber temperature sensor is within 3°C of the cycle temperature.

Note: The default end and middle wall temperature targets for the 55°C cycle are 56.5°C, not 55°C.

Pressure Calibration

In order to calibrate the pressure transducer the service representative should be familiar with the Solenoid Test section of this manual. (See page 41.) Pressure errors may occur during normal operating mode if this pressure calibration procedure is not performed or is not performed properly.

Hardware Setup

1. Connect a calibrated absolute pressure meter to the chamber in place of the 1/8” NPT pipe plug. (See Figure 64 or 65, Chamber Assembly, item 17, for the location of the plug.)

2. Connect a calibrated voltage meter to

TP9 (“PRESSURE”) and TP10 (“AG”, i.e., Analog Ground) on the controller board.

Note: This calibration procedure uses pressure values in kPa. If the pressure meter can only read in inHg, convert readings to kPa using the formula: y kPa = x inHg * (2.54 cm / 1 in) * (101.3 kPa / 76 cmHg).

Procedure

1. Open the door to bring the chamber to ambient pressure.

2. Using the two meters, measure the voltage and pressure and designate these two readings v2 and p2.

3. Using the solenoid test, turn on the vacuum pump and pump the chamber down to as low a pressure as it can go (and that must be 100 mbar or lower).

4. Using the two meters, measure the voltage and pressure and designate these two readings v1 and p1.

5. Calculate the slope and intercept of a line through (v1, p1) and (v2, p2): Slope m = (v2 - v1) / (p2 - p1) Intercept b = v2 - m * p2. Figure 38, Pressure Low Setting

6. Calculate v at p = 0 kPa and p = 103.3 kPa using the equation v = mp + b and designate these two values v0 and v1033. (Note that at p = 0 kPa, v = b.)

7. In the “Sensor Calib.” screen, enter v0 for the new “P = 0” setting and v1033 for the new “P = 1033” setting.

v2 = ___________________________Volts

p2 = ____________________________kPa

v1 = ___________________________Volts

Self-Diagnostics

Overview This outline will summarize the micro controller’s self-diagnostic procedure. Self-diagnostics are performed at startup of the Steri-Vac and before each cycle is started.

Theory of Operation

Steri-Vac Startup Diagnostics - The following are checked every time the power is turned on: Micro Controller Configuration - Checks

MCU configuration and re-programs if necessary.

RAM Test - Reads and writes to each RAM address location.

New RAM Module Detection - Reads designated address for pre-defined value. If value disagrees, Reset Site Setup Information and Reset Cycle Information will automatically be performed.

Printer Detection and Initialization - Detects if printer is installed and if it initialized properly, C8 or C9 may be displayed.

Site Setup Checksum - Detects corrupted memory and software failures. If calculated and stored checksums disagree, E2 is displayed and Reset Site Setup Information is performed automatically.

Cycle Information Checksum - Detects corrupted memory and software failures. If calculated and stored checksums disagree, E1 is displayed and Reset Cycle Information is performed automatically.

Real-time Clock Detection - Detects if Real-time clock is operating properly. If clock fails, E3 will be displayed.

EEPROM Checksum Test - Detects if EEPROM program memory is corrupted. If an error is detected, 3 beeps will be heard and depending on the severity of the error, E3 may be displayed.

Temperature Sensors Connected - Detects if temperature sensors are disconnected.

Relative Humidity Sensor Connected - Detects if Relative Humidity sensor is disconnected.

Pressure Sensor Check - Detects if pressure sensor is connected and pressure within ambient limits.

Pre Cycle - The following are checked every time a cycle is started. Compressed Air Detection - Detects if

compressed air is available and at least 35 psi.

Water Level Detection - Detects if water is in the container.

Temperature Sensors Connected - Detects if temperature sensors are disconnected.

Relative Humidity Sensor Connected - Detects if Relative Humidity sensor is disconnected.

Pressure Sensor Check - Detects if pressure sensor is connected and pressure within ambient limits.

Temperature Range - Verifies temperatures are within normal ranges (5°C and 65°C).

Pressure Range - Verifies pressure is within a normal range (Door open: 600 to 1100 mBar; Door closed: 0 to 1100 mBar).

Analog Circuit Calibration - Checks Calibration resistor. If value exceeds 47.5°C +/- 1°C, C6 is displayed.

Chamber Temperature - Detects if chamber is +3°C warmer than cycle selected.

Abator Error - Detects if abator malfunction during last cycle.

TROUBLESHOOTING AND REPAIR

Clear Silent Abort

Clear Silent Abort is used to correct a Silent Abort error or an Abator Lockout error (E9 or E78).

This procedure is only used to clear specified errors and should not be performed unless directed by those error analysis procedures.

Note: Do not cycle power. 1. Set SW1 configuration switches 3 and 7

to the closed position. (See Figure 58, SW1 Configuration Switch Positions to Clear Silent Abort.)

2. Set SW1 configuration switches 1, 2, 4-6, and 8 open. (See Figure 58, SW1 Configuration Switch Positions to Clear Silent Abort.)

During Clear Silent Abort to clear a Silent Abort error, the sterilizer automatically does the following:

• Starts updating the display again. • Starts the report printing again. • Punctures gas cartridge for one minute. • Runs a time based final vacuum for 18

minutes. • Opens the vent and purges for 30

minutes. • Stops updating the display. • Closes the vent and locks up. • After Clear Silent Abort, the screen

clears and the error is displayed. The report stops printing and the chamber parameters display.

During Clear Silent Abort to clear an Abator Lockout error (E9 or E78), the above actions do not take place. Instead, the sterilizer either immediately returns to Idle or continues the cycle, respectively.

3. If an error is still displayed after the gas is

removed from the chamber, return to the section Error Code Failure Analysis procedure to clear the error. (See page 52.)

purge Possible Causes:

• Defective puncture pin mechanism • Disconnected or faulty puncture pin

position switch Note: If E77 is printed on the report after gas

injection, this indicates a puncture pin switch problem.

If E77 is printed on the report after purge, this indicates a stuck puncture pin.

Clearing 1. After fixing the source of the error,

press the Start softkey. If Start is not displayed, cycle power.

2. A puncture pin switch test is automatically performed.

3. After final vacuum, purge, and mandatory aeration, turn handle and wait for door to open.

4. After the door opens press the Stop button.

E78 – Abator Lockout Gas Error The Abator Lockout Gas error indicates the Abator Ready signal was not received within 60 minutes after the final vacuum stage started. While the sterilizer waits for the abator, the message “Waiting for Abator” will be displayed on the screen. This error locks up the sterilizer and prevents the cycle from completing until the problem with the abator is fixed. This error can occur only if the sterilizer has been configured for “50 CFM Abator Lockout”.

Checked • At the start of final vacuum stage

Possible Causes: • Abator failure • Disconnected or faulty Abator Ready

line Clearing This error locks up the sterilizer until the problem with the abator is fixed. Note: Do not cycle power. To clear the error:

1. Fix the problem with the abator. 2. Perform Clear Silent Abort. (See page

45.) 3. Place SW1 configuration switches into

Normal mode. (See Normal Operating Mode on page 9.)

4. The cycle will complete.

SPECIAL CYCLES

Special Cycles

Accelerate Cycle

This SW1 DIP switch controllable option allows the service representative to accelerate the time of selected stages of a cycle by 128 during a sterilization cycle, in the normal operating mode. One hour will equal about 30 seconds. See table at right for specific elements of the cycle that are accelerated.

WARNING

To reduce the risks associated with the use of ethylene oxide gas, which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury (and/or property damage), do not accelerate a cycle with either ethylene oxide gas or a Steri-Gas™ cartridge in the chamber.

The acceleration DIP switch can be actuated anytime during the sterilization cycle, usually before the cycle starts. If the DIP switch is set to accelerate during a cycle, the time for the current stage will not be accelerated. During a cycle, times are first calculated then the stages are performed. After a stage has started, the only way to accelerate that stage is to cycle the power. When the sterilization cycle restarts, the acceleration option is detected and the new time is calculated. If the accelerated option is changed to non-accelerated during an accelerated cycle, the accelerated time continues until the next stage starts.

Notes: Do not consider items loaded in the sterilizer chamber during accelerated times sterilized.

Accelerate Cycle is a Normal Mode service operation. The sterilizer must be set to operate or be operating in the Normal Mode to activate this option.

1. Make sure the sterilizer is in Normal Mode.

2. Close SW1 configuration switch 2. (See Figure 60, Accelerate Cycle Time SW1 Switch Positions.)

3. If no additional cycles are to be run with accelerated time, set SW1 configuration switch 2 to open.

Precondition

Vacuum Test Not accelerated, approximately 1 minute Warm up Not accelerated, time depends on cycle

temperature selected Pump down Not accelerated, time depends on

puncture pressure selected and vacuum system installed

Leak Test Accelerated, approximately 5 seconds Humidification Only one injection. Dwell times and RH

read times are accelerated. Gas Injection Not accelerated, approximately 75

seconds. Gas Expose Accelerated. The printed cycle report

will show “Sterilization Cycle Error” if the actual gas expose time is more than 2% less than the pre-set gas expose time.

Final Vacuum Not accelerated, time depends on puncture pressure selected and vacuum system installed

SPECIAL CYCLES

Simulating Low Pressure

This SW1 DIP switch controllable option allows the service representative to simulate most pressure related checks during a normal sterilization cycle. See table (below) for specific elements of the cycle that are simulated.

WARNING

To reduce the risks associated with the use of ethylene oxide gas, which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury (and/or property damage), do not simulate low pressure with either ethylene oxide gas or a Steri-Gas™ cartridge in the chamber.

Note: Do not consider items loaded in the sterilizer chamber during simulated pressure cycles sterilized.

The simulated pressure DIP switch can be closed anytime during the cycle. If the DIP switch is set to simulate low pressure during a cycle, the pressure for the current stage may not be simulated.

Note: Simulating Low Pressure is a Normal Mode service operation. The sterilizer must be set to operate or be operating in the Normal Mode to activate this option.

1. Make sure the sterilizer is in Normal Mode.

2. Close SW1 configuration switch 1. (See Figure 61, Simulating Low Pressure SW1 Switch Positions.)

3. If no additional cycles are to be run with simulated low pressure, set SW1 configuration switch 1 to open.

Precondition Vacuum Test No pressure-related checks - not simulated Warm up No pressure-related checks - not simulated Pump down Simulated Leak Test Simulated Humidification One injection

SPECIAL CYCLES

Programming a New Machine Personality Code (MPC Build Code)

This programming procedure is intended for authorized Service Personnel only. It is critical that the correct Machine Personality Code (MPC) is used to match the intended use of the Sterilizer. If there is any question on programming or use of the MPC, contact your certified 3M Service Representative. Before performing this procedure, record any non-default Site Setup Information that must be retained. This procedure sets all Site Setup Information to default values.

1. Place the sterilizer in Standby Mode. 2. Cycle Power off. 3. Set SW1 Positions 1,7,8 to the ON

position. 4. Cycle Power on. 5. Enter the Master Code. 6. The Change Machine Code Screen will

now be visible. Using the Up and Down softkeys, to display the desired characters, press Select to enter the code character. Enter two letter keys followed by number key followed by 3 common letter keys. There is no need to select the Done softkey.

7. If a valid code was entered, 'MID = # will be displayed. (Otherwise, the machine defaults to MID = 11.)

8. Set SW1 Positions 1,7,8 back to the off position; otherwise, when power is cycled you will need to reprogram.

9. Perform the Reset Site Setup Information and Reset Cycle To Idle procedures.

10. If necessary, using the Site Setup menu reenter any Site Setup Information that had to be retained from the previous Machine Personality.

58 Bulletin Subject: 5XLe Pr 5.11 Software Release

Date: August 14, 2008 Machines Affected: All 5XLe Steri-Vac, serial numbers 720001

and above and serial numbers 820001 and above and all upgraded 5XL to 5XLe Steri-Vacs. The production 5XLe Steri-Vacs, beginning with 721438 and 820209, will contain the Pr 5.11 version EPROM.

Condition: New software release to correct bugs, add

features and add languages. Cause: N/A Solution: N/A This Bulletin is published in conjunction with the release of new 5XLe Program, Version Pr 5.11 and describes the bug fixes, added features and languages. Following the release notes, the new Machine Personality Code (MPC) index is provided. (Make a copy of the new MPC index and keep it with your service manual.) The step by step instructions of how to change the MPC is provided in the service manual. Note: Hospital users must use a ‘CLASSIC’ MPC and the validated cycles of 37°C and 55°C, with 3 hours and 1 hour of gas exposure

Health Care/3M Page 2 of 7

time, respectively. There must be no deviation from these gas exposure times. Humidity, pressure, and temperature may be adjusted to meet location conditions. Note: Whenever a change is made to any sterilizer setting, power must be cycled at the sterilizer to ensure the change is recorded in the Controller memory. Note: There is a new Service Manual that is being released with this version of software. The part number of the new 5XLe Service Manual for use with Pr 5.11 software is 78-8083-0990-6, revision A. For sterilizers that use software revision Pr 5.10 continue to use the existing service manual for the 5XLe, part number 78-8078-8601-1, revision B.

5XLe Pr 5.11 Software Release Notes

This software update: • Adds additional languages (Polish, Turkish, Romanian, Russian, and Hebrew) • Fixes the door handle position switch bug and adds E19 error code • Provides for optional 2-hr abated aeration* • Provides for optional extension of the gas expose stage times* ** • Improves how the Mandatory Locked Aeration DIP switch alters aeration time • Allows setting of the Define Cycles menu locked aeration time in all MPCs** • Fixes the bug of a missing stripchart on next cycle after Emergency Aeration • Does NOT print C12 (“unload” door was opened) on the stripchart • Moves the 30 minutes of locked aeration to the Purge stage (to mimic the old 5XL) • Removes nitrogen injection code & display of leak test timer/result to make room for other changes • Updates the default & copyright dates, default MPC, software version, and PROM checksums • Adds a Low Humidity Caution (C16) (with a 35% RH threshold for assertion) • Allows Classic personality 37°C or 55°C cycle to be disabled** * MPC must be selected to include this feature. ** DIP SW2-1 must be set to “UP” position to use this feature. Adds additional languages The words “START”, “PRECONDITION”, “GAS EXPOSE”, and “AERATE” on the operator screen have been translated into Polish, Turkish, Romanian, Russian, and Hebrew. The Site Setup menu is enhanced to allow the selection of Polish, Turkish, Romanian, Russian, and Hebrew in addition to the existing language options. Due to limited program memory, four program PROMs are being released.

Fixes door handle position switch bug and adds E19 error code A software bug exists in Pr 5.10 that allows a sterilization cycle to start even though the (defective) door handle position switch is indicating that the door handle is in the “open” position. Pr 5.11 checks the door handle position switch state at the start of the cycle and aborts the cycle and asserts a new error code (E19, “Door Handle Position Failure”) if the switch is indicating the door handle is in the “open” position. To alert the operator to the error, slow beeping will take place while the error code is displayed and the door has not yet opened. Provides for optional 2-hr abated aeration The ability to configure the sterilizer to keep the abator running for the first two hours of aeration has been added to comply with a new Canadian government regulation. This feature is available in certain new MPCs. Provides for optional extension of the gas expose stage times The ability to extend the 37°C cycle and 55°C cycle gas expose stage times beyond the default 3 hours and 1 hour, respectively, has been added. This feature is available via the Define Cycles menu of certain new MPCs. SW2 #1 must be closed prior to entering the Define Cycles menu. The Master Code must be in effect or must be entered. Improves how the Mandatory Locked Aeration DIP switch alters aeration time The method to configure Locked Aeration time has been improved. In Pr 5.10, closing the Mandatory Locked Aeration DIP switch (SW2 position 8) not only alters the locked aeration time on the Standby screen, it alters the locked aeration time listed in the Define Cycles menu. This is undesirable in that it is confusing. In Pr 5.11, when the Mandatory

Distribution Limited To Current 3M Approved Service Providers

Health Care/3M Page 5 of 7

Locked Aeration DIP switch is closed (Up) the locked aeration time on the Standby screen is extended to three hours if it is less than three hours in the Define Cycles menu. When the Mandatory Locked Aeration DIP switch is open (Down), the locked aeration time on the Standby screen is the locked aeration time in the Define Cycles menu. Allows setting of the Define Cycles menu locked aeration time in all MPCs Customers have requested that the Locked Aeration time be adjustable. (The 8XL Steri-Vac already has this capability.) Pr 5.11 allows, in all MPCs, the Locked Aeration time in the Define Cycles menu to be adjustable. This feature is available via the Define Cycles menu. SW2 #1 must be closed prior to entering the Define Cycles menu. The Master Code must be in effect or must be entered. Fixes the bug of a missing stripchart on next cycle after Emergency Aeration Pr 5.10 has a bug where the first cycle following an Emergency Aeration is lacking the stripchart header and graph. Only the trailer prints at the end of the cycle. Pr 5.11 fixes this bug. Does NOT print C12 (“unload” door was opened) on the stripchart Pr 5.10 prints a C12 on the stripchart. C12 means the unload door (on a two-door 5XL) was opened. (When the door is open C12 is also displayed on the screen to alert an operator on the load side of the 5XL to this fact.) Some customers do not want the C12 being printed because their work procedures require any non-error-free data log (e.g., a stripchart from a sterilizer) to have an explanation about, or investigation into, the (apparent) anomaly. A C12 is benign. It need not be printed on the stripchart. Pr 5.11 does NOT print C12 on the stripchart. Moves the 30 minutes of locked aeration to the Purge stage (to mimic the old 5XL) Pr 5.10, for Classic personalities, has 6 minutes of Purge and 24 minutes of Locked Aeration. (These 30 minutes appear as the 30 minutes of Locked Aeration on the Standby screen.) This does not mimic the old 5XL. The old 5XL had 30 minutes of Purge and 0 minutes of Locked Aeration. Pr 5.11 makes the Purge stage 30 minutes in duration and sets the (default) Locked Aeration time to 0 minutes. Removes nitrogen injection code & display of leak test timer/result to make room for other changes Code for injection of nitrogen has been removed to make room in the PROM for the other changes in Pr 5.11. Nitrogen injection was a feature planned but never completely implemented. Furthermore, no nitrogen-injecting 5XL Steri-Vac (i.e., “5XLe” Steri-Vac) has ever been ordered, and, as the necessary companion hardware changes have never been implemented, it would not be possible to build a machine to fulfill the order. Because of the additional screen space needed to display the new, larger, fonts in the Precondition box, the Enhanced mode leak test timer (and leak result) is not displayed in

Distribution Limited To Current 3M Approved Service Providers

Health Care/3M Page 6 of 7

Pr 5.11. The leak test time and the leak result are still printed on the stripchart Digital Report. Updates the default & copyright dates, default MPC, software version, and PROM checksums The default date, software copyright date, default MPC, software version number, and PROM checksums are updated for Pr 5.11. The default MPC is changed to US5, an “RH Monitor” MPC, because non-RH 5XLe’s are no longer offered for sale. Adds a Low Humidity Caution (C16) (with a 35% RH threshold for assertion) A Low Humidity caution, C16, has been added in Classic personalities in Pr 5.11. Just before cartridge puncture the humidity is compared to the threshold of 35% RH. If the humidity is below this threshold then C16 is printed in the stripchart graph and on the stripchart trailer. Additionally, C16 is displayed on the screen for the remainder of the cycle. Allows Classic personality 37°C or 55°C cycle to be disabled Customers have requested that one or the other cycle (i.e., 37°C cycle or 55°C cycle) be disabled (so that it cannot be selected via the cycle temperature button on the Standby screen). In Pr 5.11, for Classic personalities, the 37°C cycle or the 55°C cycle (but not both at the same time) can be disabled. This feature is available via the Define Cycles menu. SW2 #1 must be closed prior to entering the Define Cycles menu. Note: The 37°C or 55°C cycle can be re-enabled in a similar manner with the following exception. When a cycle is re-enabled, the master code is requested. To just enable the cycle, and not adjust any other parameter, press the STOP button 4 times. The machine will enable the cycle and the display will return to the previous menu screen.

48 Bulletin Subject: Service - Final Checks Process Date: August 5, 2002 Machines Affected: 4XL, 5XL, and 8XL Condition: N/A Cause: N/A Solution: This Bulletin is written to describe the Final Checks and

procedures that must always be performed on the sterilizer before the sterilizer is put back into use.

Check #1: Temperature Calibration Use either the 49C method or the 2231 Ohm resistor method.

Temperature Calibration Procedure Using the 49C Method (Preferred method on all sterilizers)

1. Put the Fluke thermocouple under the TCO on a 5XL or near the chamber temperature sensor on a 4XL. Use silver tape to attach thermocouple, if needed. Use Thermal Grease on the Thermocouple / Chamber interface to insure good heat transfer. DO NOT place thermocouple under the Chamber High Limit Thermostat on a 4XL.

2. Put the unit in cycle and allow the display to go to 51 C.

3. Then turn power off, set DIP SW1-1 and SW1-3 to the up position, and allow the

temperature (on the fluke) to go to exactly 49 C. At that point, turn the unit on and it will calibrate to within a couple of tenths of a degree of true accuracy. (The door latch will activate indicating acceptance of the new calibration.)

Distribution Limited To Current 3M Approved Service Providers

Health Care/3M Page 2 of 4

4. Turn power off and set DIP Switch SW1-1 and SW1-3, down.

5. Turn power on. Unit will come up in a C3, and the unit will continue in cycle.

6. Observe the display and Fluke to insure the temperatures match. If OK, remove the thermocouple and press stop button to terminate cycle. If temperature on Fluke and on the display do not match, repeat steps 1 – 6.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If machine will not accept the calibration (vacuum pump comes on instead of latch activation), the machine is too far out of calibration to accept the 49 C. To correct, observe the display when the Fluke reaches 49 C. If above 51 C, calibrate the temperature in 2 C increments until between 51 C and 49 C. Then make final calibration to 49 C. If the temperature of the chamber reaches 51 C, and the Fluke is below 49 C, the 2231 Ohm resistor method must be used to calibrate the temperature.

Temperature Calibration Procedure Using the 2231 Ohm Resistor (Recommended when had to change the controller board on 4XL and on old 5XL, just to get close to correct temperature. Then use above method to get accurate calibration.)

1. Take the 2231 ohm variable resistor from your tool case and insert the ends into the multi-meter (common and Ohms), set to read resistance. Adjust resistor until the multi-meter reads 2231.

2. Measure the temperature of the chamber by placing the thermocouple near the

location of the chamber temperature sensor. Attach Thermocouple with Silver Tape if needed. Add Thermal Grease to thermocouple / chamber interface to insure good heat transfer. Start a warm cycle, and allow the temperature to stabilize at 55C.

3. Note the difference between the actual chamber temperature measured by the

thermocouple and the displayed temperature. This is the amount you want to offset. (For example, suppose the actual temperature is measured as 53C, 2 degrees lower than displayed. If more than 2C offset, see NOTE below.)

4. Disconnect the chamber sensor at the connector and put the 2231 ohm resistor

leads into the connector end that goes to the controller board, not the connector end that goes to the sensor. The display will now read 48C.

5. Adjust the resistor until the display reads the offset temperature correction. (For

this example the actual is 2 degrees lower (See #3), so the resistor should be adjusted until the display reads 50C).

Distribution Limited To Current 3M Approved Service Providers

Health Care/3M Page 3 of 4

6. Turn the power off. Place DIP switches 1 and 3 Up and turn the power on again.

This now calibrates the temperature.

7. Turn the power off again, remove the variable resistor and reconnect the chamber temperature sensor.

8. Place DIP switches 1 and 3 down again and turn the power on. The calibration

procedure is complete. Recheck the chamber temperature to see that the actual temperature is the same as displayed.

9. If the temperature is now close, within 1-2 degrees C, use the 49C method

described in the first section to precisely calibrate the temperature. IMPORTANT NOTE: If the actual temperature is more than 2C offset from the displayed temperature, the calibration can not be accomplished in one calibration. The above calibration procedure will have to be done more than once, adjusting the temperature 2C at one time. THE CALIBRATION WILL NOT BE ACCOMPLISHED IF MORE THAN 2C OFFSET IS ATTEMPTED.

Check #2: Proper Default Temperature on Display Panel 1. Cycle Power 1 time

a. Check return to default cycle. b. If not at customer requested default, i.e. warm cycle or cold cycle, change

default. When power is cycled on a 4XL or old 5XL, the unit will default to the

temperature it was set on during the last in cycle power interruption. This can be a problem if the service rep interrupts power on a cold cycle and the customer runs only warm cycles. To correct this, simply cycle power after servicing to make sure the unit defaults to warm (or cold if the customer wants to default to the cold cycle). If it doesn’t, you can select the desired default cycle, start the cycle and turn the power switch off and back on. Press Stop to get an E40, open the door and press Stop again. Check for proper default by cycling power again.

Health Care/3M Page 4 of 4

Check #3: After Regulator Re-build or Replacement Adjust air pressure up 5 psi to account for drop across new diaphragm. Use caution with questionable air quality.

Check #4: Run Last Cycle (5XLe and 8XL only) Run last cycle information and check printout for any abnormalities. Check #5: Run Accelerated Cycle Run Accelerated cycle. Make sure cartridge is punctured properly. Check #6: Final Power Test After side panel is back on, cycle power and start a cycle. Allow machine to run for 30 seconds, check printout and make sure machine is going into cycle. If OK, press Stop, and clear code. Check #7: Personnel Discussion Discuss any abnormal information with appropriate hospital (facility) employee (Biomed, Maintenance Manager, etc.)

Bulletin Subject: 4XL, 5XL and 8XL EO Gas cartridges

Date: May 18, 2004

Machines Affected: All 4XL, 5XL and 8XL sterilizers

Condition: Damage to the Labels on the Gas cartridges. Cause: Liquid EO escapes around the cartridge seal and melts the Label. Solution: Perform the following procedure. Note: This issue may occur if liquid ethylene oxide leaks around the cartridge guide seal and damages the shrink-wrapped label surrounding the Steri-Gas cartridge. Consequences are discoloration and / or deterioration of the shrink-wrapped label and staining of the sterilizer. There is no safety risk, as the Ethylene Oxide is released only in the closed Steri-Vac chamber. After sterilization, the gas is removed by the normal aeration cycle. The functionality of your 3M Steri-Vac Sterilizer will not be compromised. Standard sterilization monitoring procedures will help to ensure an adequate sterilization cycle . Future lots of Steri-Gas cartridges will not have shrink-wrapped labels.

1. Loosen the setscrew or screws that secure the cartridge guide in the cartridge well of the Steri-Vac chamber.

2. Remove the cartridge guide and the cartridge seal. Discard the old seal. 3. Install the new seal in the cartridge well. Use part number 12-2376-2845-3 for the 4XL and

5XL and part number 78-8078-3324-5 for the 8XL. 4. Be certain that the seal is properly oriented. ( see Fig. 1)

Fig. 1

5. Check the 8XL cartridge holder for proper spring tension. They are located at the top of the cartridge holder. They should hold the cartridge securely in place.

Bulletin Subject: 4XL,5XL and 8XL Chamber Leaks Date: December 3, 2004 Machines Affected: All 4XL, 5XL and 8XL sterilizers Condition: Chamber vacuum leaks. Cause: The chamber does maintain the proper vacuumduring testing Solution: Perform the following procedure.

STERI-VAC STERILIZER CHAMBER VACUUM LEAK ISOLATION

The Steri-Vac sterilizer chambers are required to maintain a vacuum level through out the exposure portion of the cycle. The permissible level of vacuum loss during exposure depends on the model of sterilizer. The 4XL and 5XL sterilizers are allowed to have a 40 millibar leak in 10 minutes. The 8XL sterilizer is allowed to have a 15 millibar leak in 10 minutes. The primary source of chamber leaks is the chamber check valve. Clean or replace this component first. Then perform a leak test. To conduct the leak tests refer to the leak test procedures described in the respective Service Manuals. A kit of plugs, part number 78-8069-7680-5, is available to assist in isolating the vacuum leak. Compressed air is used to perform several functions during the operation of the sterilizer. Failures of the sealing surfaces in the compressed air components can allow compressed air to leak into the chamber and appear to be a vacuum leak in the new 5XL and 8XL The 4XL and old 5XL will not experience leaks from compressed air components although they may leak ambient air into the chamber. Isolate the source of a leak in the chamber by eliminating the compressed air components as a possible source. The following procedure will eliminate the compressed air components.

1. Perform the leak test as described in the Service Manual. Perform the “Dead End Vacuum Test”. If you cannot obtain a dead end vacuum of less than 100 millibars, the leak source could be located in the fittings on the chamber side of the chamber check valve or at the fittings around the pressure sensor and puncture solenoid valve. Note the leak rate of the dead end vacuum tester. If there is a rapid loss of vacuum when the test is stopped, the leak may be located in one of these areas.

2. Continue with the chamber leak test. If a leak is detected, re-run the test but during the 10 minute

dwell time, disconnect or turn off the compressed air and bleed the air from the compressed air line for the new 5XL or 8XL.

46A

Distribution Limited To Current 3M Approved Service Providers

Health Care/3M Page 2 of 5

3. If the leak continues at the same rate the leak is not caused by the compressed air components.

4. If the leak has stopped or been significantly reduced, one or more of the compressed air components is faulty.

5. The puncture solenoid valve, which is used to switch between compressed air and chamber

vacuum for the operation of the puncture cylinder, can leak compressed air into the chamber on the new 5XL and the 8XL. The solenoid valve plunger, seat or dirt could cause the leak.

6. Remove the puncture solenoid valve and the 1/8 inch NPT nipple from the “T” fitting and plug the

hole with 1/8 inch pipe plug, part number 26-1014-7121-2. Check the “T” fitting for cracks. (see Fig. 1) If cracks are visible, replace the “T” fitting.

Fig. 1

7. Perform the leak test again. If the leak rate is reduced replace the solenoid valve assembly. If the

leak is not reduced continue the procedure.

8. The puncture cylinder can leak compressed air into the chamber on the new 5XL or 8XL. A plug, part number 78-8083-0419-6, is available to eliminate the puncture cylinder. Install the plug and o-ring.

9. Perform the leak test again. If the leak is reduced or eliminated replace the puncture cylinder. If

the leak is not reduced continue the procedure.

10. The 4XL and old 5XL sterilizers will not experience a compressed air leak from these components. However, there could be an ambient air leak through these components. Following steps 6, 7, 8 and 9 can isolate leaks in these components. If the leak is not reduce or eliminated the leak is in another area of the sterilizer.

11. On the new and old 5XL and 8XL disconnect the tubing that connects the cartridge well to

heatsink and use a ¼ inch tube compression plug, part number 78-8005-7373-1 to seal the cartridge well port.

12. Remove the tubing from the heatsink to the chamber, one port for the 5XL and 2 ports for the

8XL. Plug the chamber port(s) with the ¼ inch tube compression plugs, part number 78-8005-7373-1.

13. Run the leak test again. If the leak is reduced or eliminated a leak exists in the heatsink assembly. .

If the leak is not reduce or eliminated the leak is in another area of the sterilizer.

14. If the leak is in the heatsink assembly, examine the components for cracks or bad seals around the compression fitting ferrules. The ferrules should not turn on the tubing. Also check the vent solenoid valve and the moisture solenoid valves and tubing.

15. On the 4XL sterilizer replace the 6 o-rings on the heatsink coupling, check the vent solenoid valve

and the tubing to the moisture solenoid valve for bad seals around the ferrules.

Note: There are several ports through the chamber wall. Some of these ports have brass bushings that can crack if the components connected to them are over tightened.

CRACK

Distribution Limited To Current 3M Approved Service Providers

Health Care/3M Page 3 of 5

16. If the leak continues, examine the bushings that go through the chamber walls. Look for hairline

cracks in the brass. (see Fig. 2) If there is a doubt replace the bushing with an appropriately sized plug, which is usually a 3/8 inch NPT plug, part number 26-1011-7274-5.

Fig.2

17. The new 5XL and 8XL have humidity sensing components that could also cause a chamber

vacuum leak. Isolate these components using a 3/8 NPT plug, 26-1011-7274-5, at the chamber connection and a ¼ inch NPT plug, 12-7992-5759-2, at the check valve connection.

18. Perform another leak test. If the leak is reduced or eliminated, the leak is in the humidity sensing

components. Examine the flex tubing for any cracks. Replace the tubing if there is a doubt. Be certain that the Exhaust ports (EXH) for the 5XL and the Atmosphere port (ATM) for the 8XL solenoid valves are connected to the chamber side of the fittings not the sensor side of the fittings.

19. Reinstall the humidity sensing components and perform another leak test. If the leak continues,

the door gaskets are the last repairable source. The old and new 5XL and the 8XL have gaskets on the back panel of the chamber as well as the load door side.

20. Examine the load door gasket for any cuts or tears. Over time, continuing vacuums in the chamber

flattens the gaskets. Once the lips of the gasket are flattened to the level of the rim around the chamber, the gasket may not seal consistently.

21. If the gasket is flattened, replace the door gasket using proper procedures described in Technical

Bulletin 74 and Equipment Bulletin 45.

22. The back plate gasket can be tested without removing the back plate. Remove the outside cabinet panel from the sterilizer.

23. Use a thin (0.010-0.020 inch) plastic or steel ruler or feeler gauge to test for good contact of the

gasket to the back plate. 24. Draw a deep vacuum in the chamber. Observe the gasket contact to the back chamber plate. Look

at the corners to be certain that the outer lip of the gasket is making contact with the back plate.

25. Slide the ruler or feeler gauge along the edge of the gasket that is against the back plate. Use only slight pressure against the gasket. When an area of poor contact is found the ruler or feeler gauge will slip between the gasket and back plate and there will be a whistling or screeching noise as air leaks past the gasket. The corners are most often the problem spots. (see Fig. 3)

CRACK

Fig. 3

26. If no noise is heard the gasket is probably OK. However, if all other tests have failed to solve the

problem, replace the gasket and perform another leak test. 27. Go through this entire procedure at least twice before considering the chamber to be defective

Note: Be certain to use Teflon tape on all pipe thread fittings and plugs to insure a good seal. Do not over tighten pipe thread fittings as the brass fittings will stretch or crack causing additional leaks. By using good workmanship practices and observation techniques, most sources of leaks can be found in a reasonable time.

44 Bulletin Subject: Erratic temperature spikes, resulting in E25 and E53 Date: January 2, 2003 Machines Affected: All 4XL and 5XL sterilizers Condition: E25 or E53 error messages appear and temperature profile on

printout shows spikes or random placed data points. Cause: True temperature is out of range; or Bad connection between

Temperature sensor and Low Voltage harness; or connector on controller board is not making complete contact. On the 4XL the Heat Sink temperature is transferred to temperature sensor; or Bad Controller Board.

Solution: Note: Each one of the following solutions has been successfully used. Depending on the age of the sterilizer and previous repairs done, use the following solutions as appropriate. True Temperature is out of range: Perform a simple calibration. To accurately and quickly

calibrate either a 4 or old 5XL, put the Fluke thermocouple under the TCO on a 5XL or on a chamber sensor screw on a 4XL. Put the unit in cycle and allow

it to go to 51 C. Then induce an E-40, open the door wide, and allow the temperature (on the fluke) to go to exactly 49 C. At that point, with DIP switches 1 & 3 up, turn the unit on and it will calibrate to within a couple

of tenths of a degree of true accuracy.

Bad Connection: 1) Reconnect with new wire splices.

Distribution Limited To Current 3M Approved Service Providers

Health Care/3M Page 2 of 2

2) Cut connector pins at Temperature sensor wire and low voltage harness wire interface and solder together.

3) Cut both sets of wires and crimp on new fast on terminals.

Board Edge Connector (new 5XL): 1) Ensure that card edge connector is pushed all the

way onto the board and is not at an angle.

2) Clean gold contacts with a product similar to Archer’s TV Tuner Cleaner.

3) Use ScotchBrite to slightly clean and abrade the gold contacts on the board.

Heat Sink transfer to Temperature Sensor: 1) Skew the temperature calibration so

chamber temperature is lower than actual. (not more than 2 degrees)

2) Relocate sensor using kit 78-8078-6540-3

Controller Board is Bad: Replace controller board.

5XL sterilizers below serial number 720000 and 820000 as directed by ECO 02-0076

Condition: The Seiko printers used on the 8XL and new 5XL

sterilizers is replacing the Fujitsu printers. Cause: The old Fujitsu printers are obsolete. Solution: There is a printer kit, part number 78-8078-9457-7, used to

replace the Fujitsu printers. In addition to the printer kit, the printer door must be replaced for the initial printer change over. The Printer door kit is part number 78-8078-9939-4.

1. Turn off the main power switch and remove the left side panel of the sterilizer. 2. Remove the printer data cable, printer power cable and printer switch cable from

the sterilizer controller board. It may be necessary to cut some cable ties so that the cables are free to be removed from the sterilizer.

3. Remove the printer assembly from the sterilizer by removing the 3 mounting

screws.

4. Check the lower left hand corner of the printer opening. If the corner is rounded, it must be cut to a square 900 corner. You can use a file or a metal saw. Very little metal will be removed.

5. To mount the new printer, you must first remove the front plate weldment from

the rest of the printer bracket weldment by removing 2 screws.

procedure label found in the printer door.

11. Perform a printer self test by setting the sterilizer main power off, press and hold the paper feed switch in the paper feed position, set the sterilizer main power on. When the paper starts to feed, release the paper feed switch. The test will stop by itself when it has completed the test print out.

Note: If this is the first time that the printer has been changed to the Seiko printer, the Printer Door must also be changed. The new printer uses wider paper than the old printer so the paper slot in the printer door must be wider. Use the following procedure to mount the new printer door. 1. Remove the printer door from the sterilizer by removing 3 screws from the hinge

with a 5/64 allen wrench. The hinge should remain attached to the sterilizer. 2. Locate the appropriate sterilizer model decal and mount it on the printer door in

the same location as the old door. Make sure the label is straight and square.

3. Mount the paper loading instruction decal on the inside of the printer door and mount the door on the hinge with the 3 original screws.

4. Transfer the magnetic catch from the old printer door to the new printer door.

5. Adjust the door hinge and magnetic catch so that the door is square and catches

properly. Return the old printer assembly and door to the 3M Health Care Service Center in St. Paul.

user, a slow leak at the cartridge seal or cartridges that are no longer needed.

Solution: A Kit, part number 78-8078-8114-5, has been developed to provide a safe method of disposal for Steri-Vac Ethylene Oxide Gas cartridges on site at the customers facility. The Kit contains the following items: EPROM Rev. 0.7 78-8078-7603-8 1 ea. Warning Label 78-8078-8116-0 1 ea. Return Label Form 6550-862-F 1 ea. Equipment Bulletin 78-8078-8115-5 1 ea. This kit is not intended to modify the 4XL for a sterilization or test cycle of any kind. The Humidification and Gas Exposure portion of the cycle have been eliminated. An error code, E60, will be displayed on the Front Panel of the sterilizer each time that the disposal cycle is completed as a reminder that this is not a sterilization cycle. When the EPROM containing the program is changed, the Warning Label stating that the machine is no longer capable of sterilizing must be attached to the chamber door. To install the Kit :

1. Turn OFF the Main power switch and remove the left side panel of the sterilizer.

Distribution Limited To Current 3M Approved Service Providers

Health Care/3M 78-8078-8115-5 Rev. A Page No. 2 of 3

2. While wearing your static grounding strap, locate and remove the EPROM from

the sterilizer controller board place it in a safe place so that it can be reused.

3. Locate the EPROM in the Kit and carefully install it in the controller board. Place all the DIP switched to the OFF or down position. If an abator is installed, keep DIP switch 6 in the ON or up position.

4. Locate the Warning Label in the Kit and install it on the chamber door.

5. Turn ON the Main Power. The machine should start up in a normal manner and

the Rev. level of the EPROM, 0.7, will be displayed on the Display Panel.

6. Open the chamber door and remove all the contents. Install the cartridge to be disposed of in the cartridge well. Be certain that the cartridge is securely seated under the cartridge bracket.

7. Close the door and start a cycle as normal. It will take about 1 hour to complete

the disposal cycle.

8. When the cycle is complete and the door is unlocked, open the door and press Stop. This will clear out the E60 error and reset the logic for the next cycle.

9. Remove the cartridge form the cartridge well and place it on the bottom of the

chamber.

10. Place the next cartridge in the cartridge well and repeat steps 7., 8., 9., and 10 until all the cartridges are disposed of. The cartridges can remain in the chamber to be aerated or they can be moved to an aerator. Three hours of aeration should be sufficient to purge the gas from the empty cartridges.

11. When all the cartridges are disposed of , turn OFF the Main Power Switch and

remove the Kit EPROM from the sterilizer controller.

12. Install the original EPROM in the controller socket. Set the DIP switches to the original position. Turn the sterilizer Main Power ON.

13. Remove the Label from the chamber door. Perform an Accelerated Cycle Test as

described in the 4XL Service Manual on page 8-3 to be certain all functions of the sterilizer work. Place all the dip switches in their original position.

14. Replace the left side panel. 15. Return the EPROM and the Warning Label to the Kit box and seal it. 16. Attach the Return Label to the box and return it by the fastest means.

If the sterilizer is used with a catalytic type abatement system, the number of cartridges disposed of can affect the life of the catalytic beds. One or 2 boxes of gas will have a negligible affect on the catalyst but 1 or 2 cases of gas can have a significant affect. When cases of gas are involved, it would be a good practice to measure the EO content in the abator exhaust at the first and at the last disposal cycle. If the exhaust EO content is 3 parts per million or greater, the catalytic bed must be replaced.
