You should re -check the machine within 15 minutes of beginning the vacuum cycle. Once the vacuum cycle is complete it will cycle into the sterilization cycle which is of 30 minutes duration. Should it not reach the sterilization cycle, it will have gone into vacuum failure. At this time, you must call Maintenance immediately. The load must not remain in the chamber for more than an hour without the load being run. this will generally result in a melt down and stand an excellent chance of resulting in a fire. 7. In case you observe smoke coming from the top of the San -I -Pak or the compactor, call maintenance. Should you see flames of any type coming from the unit, the fire alarm should be sounded through the normal channels because it threatens the hospital. No doors on the machine will be opened under this condition for any reason. A call to Maintenance will normally be sufficient under smoke conditions. Maintenance will be able to run the load to put the melt down or fire condition out. This is a shortened version of the step by step operation. a. Check steam pressure, 70 PSI minimum b.
