How the AMSCO LSS Large Steam Sterilizer Works

_x000D_

The LSS is equipped with a fully programmed PLC control system and is capable of sterilizing a variety of loads using saturated steam under pressure. Mechanical air removal is used for porous loads or gravity removal is used for liquids in vented containers or other items that cannot tolerate a vacuum. The average chamber temperature is controlled within ±1.0 °C (1.8 °F) of the sterilization temperature set point during the exposure phase, after stabilization. The sterilizer is equipped with a standard pre-vacuum cycle provided for sterilization of all dry goods and porous loads at 110-135 °C (230-275 °F). Liquids in vented containers may be processed using a slow exhaust post-conditioning phase. All sterilizers are fully tested prior to shipment to ensure proper operation._x000D_
