Q. How is a vertical autoclave cleaned?

Answer

Vertical autoclaves which are typically cylindrical in shape and load from the top are often referred to as top loading sterilisers. These are frequently used in operating theatres (OT) hospitals and laboratories that study microbiology for the purpose of sterilising a variety of medical supplies and culture mediums. To clean wipe using a cloth that has been dampened. Perform a visual inspection of the probe just at back of the interior of the vessel when the autoclave is turned OFF as well as the door is OPEN. Look for any signs of debris and damage. Before checking that all of the features are working properly in accordance with the user handbook close the door.
