How to ensure the safety and reliability of steam sterilization equipment?
Design and Manufacturing
Compliance with Standards: The design and manufacturing processes should strictly follow relevant national and international standards, such as GB 8599 "Technical Requirements for Large Steam Sterilizers - Automatic Control Type" and ISO 17665-1 "Sterilization of Healthcare Products - Moist Heat - Part 1: Development, validation and routine control of a sterilization process for medical devices", etc., to ensure that the equipment's performance indicators meet the basic requirements for safe and reliable operation.
Selection of High-Quality Materials: Using corrosion-resistant, high-temperature-resistant, and high-strength materials, such as 304 or 316L stainless steel, for the manufacture of key components such as the sterilization chamber, pipelines, and valves, to ensure the stability and sealing of the equipment in a long-term high-temperature and high-pressure environment.
Safety Device Design: Equipped with complete safety devices, such as safety valves, pressure sensors, temperature sensors, water level sensors, emergency stop buttons, etc. The safety valve can automatically relieve pressure when the pressure exceeds the set value, preventing the risk of explosion; pressure and temperature sensors monitor the operating parameters in real-time to ensure they are within the normal range; the water level sensor prevents dry burning, and the emergency stop button can immediately stop the equipment operation in case of an emergency.
Installation and Commissioning
Professional Installation: Installation should be carried out by technically qualified and experienced personnel to ensure that the equipment is installed in the correct location, the foundation is stable, the connecting pipes are leak-free, the electrical wiring is compliant, the grounding is good, and to avoid safety hazards due to improper installation.
Strict Commissioning: After installation, comprehensive commissioning should be carried out, including calibration and testing of equipment parameters such as pressure, temperature, humidity, and vacuum to ensure that the equipment can accurately achieve the set sterilization conditions and operate stably. At the same time, the functions of safety devices should be tested to ensure their sensitivity and reliability.
