Perform a complete calibration for the sterilizer
using the calibration procedures. The user
determines the frequency of calibrations;
however, this period should not be greater than
one year. PRIMUS Sterilizer Company, LLC
recommends that sterilizers subject to validation
and cGMP standards be revalidated at one-year
intervals.
Inspect the inside surfaces of the chamber for
deposits of scale. If scale is present, use a
cleaner and descaler according to the directions
on the container. While the rate of scale
accumulation varies between facilities, PRIMUS
Sterilizer Company, LLC recommends that a
regular schedule for descaling be adopted
according to individual user requirements.
Install new steam trap kit when a steam trap fails.
