Do you offer training classes? Yes, we offer training classes at our Billerica, MA facility throughout the year. Attendees will have a lot of fun meeting the Consolidated team and learning the following: The basics of sterilization sterilization theory How an autoclave is built from scratch How to maintain an autoclave How to calibrate the control system How to set up cycles on ADV and X1 control system How to service an integral steam generator How to service a door hub mechanism How to install an autoclave How to install a Bioseal And more... Please contact us to find out when our next class is scheduled. The items in my autoclave are not drying and are coming out wet (i.e. wet packs) A wet pack can occur for any number of reasons. There is no single place to look first. There are, however, certain operator behaviors and processes as well as mechanical failures within an autoclave that could lead to the moisture being retained inside an autoclave chamber and/or load. Read here for more information: https://consteril.com/wet-packs-guide/ Where do I find my autoclave’s serial number? The serial number is typically located in a couple of places on the autoclave: On the back-side of the front access panel (below the chamber door). On the touchscreen control system: located on main menu screen of ADV control system located on the information menu (press "i") on the X1 control system The temperature/pressure in the jacket will not rise. If your unit is equipped with an integral steam generator, verify that the generator has pressure. If the generator does not have pressure then press the Generator On/Off button on the Main Menu. If you can hear the contactor clicking on and off then you know the problem is on the generator side (not the control side). Verify that the 3-phase power to the generator is in the On position. Verify that the 3-phase circuit breaker has not tripped (may need to be reset). Verify that there is water in the generator (check the sight glass). Check to see if the manual reset on the pressure switch needs to be reset (metal tab or button on top of the pressure switch). If your unit runs on house steam, then please check the following: steam strainer entering the jacket (look for clogged screen), steam-to-jacket valve (make sure it's functioning/actuating), jacket steam trap (make sure steam is flowing through this trap.)
