Castle Series 200 Steam Sterilizer (Powerclave)

Indoor Use Only

Model 222:

The Castle Model 222 Gravity Steam Sterilizer is intended for steam sterilization of hospital supplies.

Typical clinical (Hospital) applications include wrapped and unwrapped hard goods and linens.

Wrapped-goods cycles are provided for processing wrapped linen packs, as well as wrapped hard

goods such as instruments and utensils. Unwrapped goods cycles (flash) are used to process unwrapped

hard goods such as instruments and utensils. Steam sterilization by the unwrapped (flash) method is

employed when time does not permit the use of the preferable, wrapped sterilization procedure.

Implantables should never be sterilized by the unwrapped (flash) method. All cycles employ gravity or

downward displacement with positive pulsing conditioning for dynamic air removal. Processing

temperatures range from 250°F to 275°F (121°C to 135°C)

The cycles to be cleared for this model (Model 222) are:

Model 233:

The Castle Model 233 Vacuum Steam Sterilizer is intended for steam sterilization of hospital

supplies. Typical clinical (Hospital) applications include wrapped hard goods and linens.

Wrapped-goods (Hi Vac) cycles are provided for processing wrapped linen packs, as well as

wrapped hard goods such as instruments and utensils. A gravity cycle is provided for processing wrapped

dry goods and/or hard goods. Additionally, a Vacuum Leak Test cycle, not intended for sterilization, and an

Air-Removal-Test-Pack (Bowie-Dick) cycle, not intended for sterilization is provided. The wrapped-goods

(Hi Vac) cycles employ vacuum-and-positive pulsing to condition a load before processing at the selected

exposure temperature. The gravity cycle employs the gravity, or downward displacement method of air

removal. Processing temperatures for wrapped goods cycles range from 250°F to 275°F (121°C to 135°C).

Typical clinical (Hospital) applications include wrapped and unwrapped hard goods and linens.

Wrapped-goods cycles are provided for processing wrapped linen packs, as well as wrapped hard

goods such as instruments and utensils. The cycles employ gravity or downward displacement with positive

pulsing conditioning for dynamic air removal. Processing temperatures for wrapped goods cycles range

from 250°F to 275°F (121°C to 135°C).

All Models:

Castle Series 200 Steam Sterilizers are programmed with factory recommended sterilization

parameters (cycle settings) which have been verified and validated for efficacy. By using a supervisory

password, the controls allow for flexibility in selecting exposure temperature, exposure time, and drying

time. It is possible, with that password, to select cycle settings that will not necessarily achieve the desired

sterility assurance level. Users with password access are responsible for the efficacy of any cycle settings

other than the factory recommended settings.
