      • Should I pouch/wrap my instruments and how long can I store them after sterilization?
        To ensure that your instruments are stored in a sterile state from their successful sterilization until they are used, W&H recommends wrapping them in suitable sterile barrier systems before sterilization. The recommended storage period can be found in the recommendations of the wrapping material manufacturer. For further information, please contact your dealer. more
      • How do I change consumable components on my sterilizer?
        Consumable replacement instructions are provided in the Instructions for Use, chapter “Maintenance”. In addition, a video description is available: • in the sterilizer, in the maintenance section of the menu; • in the Consumables & Accessories and Video Tutorial section of this website. more
      • Who should I contact to validate and maintain my sterilizer?
        Validation shall be carried out by an official authority. Maintenance tasks shall be carried out by a qualified and authorised technician. more
      • Does my sterilizer need any periodic qualification/validation?
        Validation generally comprises a range of tests defined in internationally recognised standards. These tests begin for every device with the factory tests at W&H. In addition, corresponding documentation is included with your device. Prior to commissioning the device at your premises, the technician performs further checks to ensure the device functions correctly. Then, depending on the national/regional laws and directives, the device must be subjected to a so-called renewed performance qualification at regular intervals. For further information, please contact your dealer. more
      • How long should I archive the documentation of regular tests?
        Keep the results according to your country/regional specific laws and guidelines. Those records can be of assistance in case of service as well. more
      • Do I need to document the results of all periodic tests?
        W&H recommends recording all periodic tests, repairs, and modifications on the sterilizer in a logbook including date and signature of the person who carried out the test or other activity. Compulsorily of recording is regulated by local/national guidelines. more
      • What is validation?
        Validation is a testing procedure carried out by an official authority, proving the effectiveness of your sterilizer. Compulsories and frequency of validation are regulated by local/national guidelines. more
      • Warning about consumable replacement.
        POSSIBLE CAUSE
        A consumable needs to be replaced.
        SOLUTION
        Order the requested consumable (door seal and HEPA/bacteriological filter) and replace it. See the chapter “Maintenance” in the Instructions for Use. more
      • The sterilizer is connected to an automated water supply system, there is no clean water in the tank and the automatic water filling does not fill the water.
        POSSIBLE CAUSE
        Water filling system not connected.
        SOLUTION
        Connect the water filling system to the sterilizer. (see Instructions for Use).

        POSSIBLE CAUSE
        When the water filling system attempted to fill the tank, water was temporarily unavailable.
        SOLUTION
        Since the water tank filling is attempted only once in-between cycle execution, this event inhibits water feeding. Switch the sterilizer OFF and then ON again.
        Check the external water supply system.
        Check for water leaks from the sterilizer.

        POSSIBLE CAUSE
        Faulty MIN water level sensor in the clean water tank.
        SOLUTION
        Contact an authorised W&H service partner. more
      • The cycle report printer does not work.
        POSSIBLE CAUSE
        Printer not properly connected or not powered.
        SOLUTION
        Check the data and power connection to the printer. more
      • Warning about saving to the USB (HTML and SCL files)
        POSSIBLE CAUSE
        The USB drive is disconnected or full.
        SOLUTION
        Check presence and condition of the USB drive. If the problem persists, contact an authorised W&H service partner. more
      • Do I need to carry out periodic testing on my W&H sterilizer?
        All W&H sterilizers feature test cycles (B&D/Helix test, Vacuum test). Compulsory and frequency of testing are regulated by local/national guidelines. more
      • Which water quality should I use for my sterilizer?
        The water quality for sterilizers is internationally specified by standards and directives. The reasons for this are that your sterilizer can be seriously damaged by it or the sterilization can be jeopardised. Consequently, only water with conductivity of less than 10 µS/cm in North America and 15 µS/cm for the rest of the world should be used for your W&H sterilizer. The Water treatment devices Multidem and Osmo are especially designed to prepare suitable water (see chapter “Water quality” in the Instructions for Use). more
