The main types of failures that may occur in autoclaves include:
Unstable pressure: Possible reasons are pressure sensor failure, pressure controller failure or gas leakage, etc. Solutions include replacing the faulty part and checking for and repairing gas leaks.
Inaccurate temperature control: Possible reasons are temperature sensor failure, thermostat failure, heater failure, etc. Solutions include replacing the faulty part and recalibrating the temperature sensor.
Water leakage: Possible reasons are aging of sealing rings, damaged pipes, etc. Solutions include replacing seals and repairing damaged areas.
The safety valve does not open: The possible reasons are safety valve failure, pressure sensor failure, etc. Solutions include replacing the faulty part, inspecting and repairing the fault.
Sudden shutdown: Possible reasons are power failure, controller failure, etc. Solutions include checking whether the power supply is normal, replacing the controller, etc.
Insufficient vacuum or failure to form a vacuum: It may be caused by vacuum pump failure, poor sealing, etc. Solutions include replacing the vacuum pump, replacing seals, etc.
Display failure: It may be caused by circuit board failure, display burnout, etc. Solutions include replacing the circuit board, replacing the display, etc.
When dealing with autoclave faults, it is necessary to first identify the cause of the fault, and then carry out corresponding repairs and replacement parts. In order to avoid malfunctions, regular inspection and maintenance of the sterilizer is very necessary.
