Abstract

See full text

A heat sterilizer sterilizes a load held in a sterilizing chamber at a predefined temperature over a shortened sterilization period by using predefined heating and cooling profiles. The sterilizer includes a temperature sensor coupled to a controller for sensing the temperature within the sterilizing chamber, where the controller is further adapted to monitor an output of the temperature sensor and maintain the temperature within the sterilizing chamber according to the predefined heating profile, the predefined temperature, or the predefined cooling profile, and where the controller is further adapted to specify an error condition if the controller fails to maintain the temperature within the sterilizing chamber according to the predefined heating profile, the predefined temperature, or the predefined cooling profile.
