4320--Steam Sterilizer Research & Development

PRIMUS® medium steam sterilizers multiple chamber configurations Horizontally Sliding Door design ( with ability to view inside) Floor mounted Vessel Design features a stainless steel, fully-jacketed 316L chamber. The vessel is insulated and mounted on a steel frame, which offers adjustable feet on self-centering floor pads. Extendable Bottom Shelf and Additional chamber Shelf to fit the dimensions below and maximize number of cages/bottles per sterilizer cycle. The interior dimensions (minimum 26" wide x minimum 36" high x maximum 60" long) are critical to maintain the throughput (ie number of cages/bottles sterilizer per cycle, old unit could do 190 mouse cages/water bottles per cycle). The exterior dimensions (maximal width 41" x maximal length 74" x maximal height 81") are strictly required in order to fit into the existing space, minimize extra changes to structural/utility infrastructure and to maneuver racks in and out of the unit, based on the rack and room size. Appropriate ramps (inclines) to allow maneuvering the racks in and out of the unit in the existing space (allow for maximal turn radius). Gravity, Vacuum, and Liquid Cycles Access to service Control panel opposite of service side Rear panel Ability to program Sterilizer cycles (adjustable time and sterilizer cycle) with the ability to select any phase of the cycle. Clear displays of actual Steam cycle-with temperature gaurantees Lighted interior Personnel safety features that include - emergency stop push button, door lock-out when cycling Non proprietary parts (USA made) - with local factory authorized and trained service personnel Must also include: -breakdown and removal (disposal) of old Steam sterilizer - installation of new unit - where all components parts must fit through existing corridors and doorways from loading dock to to VMU Room 7301, where it will be assembled. -final connections to utilities and steam lines within 6 feet. - start up and testing of the unit - training of animal care staff and equipment manuals
