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

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 jeopardized. Consequently, only water with conductivity of less than 15 µS/cm should be used for your W&H sterilizer. The Water treatment devices is especially suited to preparing suitable water (see chapter “Water quality” in the Instructions for Use). more

POSSIBLE CAUSE
Instruments rinsed with tap water and not dried before sterilization.
SOLUTION
Ensure that instruments are rinsed with distilled or demineralized water and completely dry before they are placed in the sterilizer.

POSSIBLE CAUSE
Use of water of poor quality or water containing chemical substances.
SOLUTION
Drain both water tanks. Use good quality water (see chapter “Water quality” in the Instructions for Use).

POSSIBLE CAUSE
Organic or chemical residues on the instruments
SOLUTION
Clean, rinse and dry instruments before placing them in the sterilizer (see chapter “Load maintenance and preparation” in the Instructions for Use.

POSSIBLE CAUSE
Dirt in chamber, trays, tray rack.
SOLUTION
Clean the chamber and wash the chamber furniture.

POSSIBLE CAUSE
Contact between instruments of different materials.
SOLUTION
Ensure that instruments of different materials do not touch each other (aluminium, carbon or stainless steel, etc.); place them on different trays or cassettes or pouch them (see chapter “Load maintenance and preparation” in the Instructions for Use).

POSSIBLE CAUSE
Scale deposits on the chamber.
SOLUTION
Clean the chamber and use good quality water (see chapter “Water quality” in the Instructions for Use). more

POSSIBLE CAUSE
An electronic board was replaced when serviced.
SOLUTION
The memory of the old board can not be restored. Consult the cycle history in the USB pen drive. more

POSSIBLE CAUSE
Door seal not properly placed.
SOLUTION
Ensure that the door seal is correctly inserted around the whole circumference.

POSSIBLE CAUSE
Door jammed by external objects or by the load itself.
SOLUTION

Connect the water filling system to the sterilizer. (see ANNEX 7 For water quality requirements see chapter “Water quality” in the 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 authorized W&H service partner. more

POSSIBLE CAUSE

SOLUTION
Comply with the maximum load weight limits for each type of load. Always use the chamber rack for trays and cassettes.

POSSIBLE CAUSE
Chamber filter clogged.
SOLUTION
Remove and clean the chamber filter.

Order the requested consumable (door seal, dust filter, bacteriological filter) and replace it. See the chapter “Maintenance” in the Instructions for Use. more

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
