DEP process test device for routine control of steam sterilization.

摘要

This involves measuring the temperature in a helix tube. (Representative of the most difficult hollow instrument to sterilize. This tube is attached to a temperature probe by a capsule with a sealed passage. The capsule represents 6% of the volume of the tube. This DEP can be in stainless steel or in ptfe. The internal diameter of the tube is 2mm, external 3mm, the length between 80 and 150cm. The length depends on the type of sterilized instruments. - The temperature measured by this probe is compared to the theoretical temperature calculated in relation to the Regnault table. - A difference greater than 0.5 ° C between these probes causes non-compliance of the cycle. -Non-compliance may be reported in the event of a vacuum fault on the phases of the cycles to be analyzed.
