Autoclave Repair Made Simple
When your autoclave breaks down, you have 3 choices to get it back up and running again:
1.You Can Pick Up The Phone & Call A Local Autoclave Repair Technician (if you have one)
2.You Can Box It Up & Send It Off For Repair
3.You Can Do The Autoclave Repair Yourself
Maybe the third option (doing the autoclave repair yourself) is something you have never considered…. for a variety of reasons,
It might be because you think it is too complicated, or you don’t know where to begin
Maybe you are afraid if you run into a problem, you have no where to turn for technical support, and if you do find support, they will charge you more than it would have cost for you to send it off for someone else to repair in the first place.
Or maybe you are afraid you will just screw it up and cause more damage than you started with
But with minimum charges for autoclave repair now approaching $2000.00 or more, repairing it yourself is quickly becoming the most viable option…and something you, or a member of your staff can do
First, let me dispel the autoclave repair myths, that it is complicated, sophisticated, and requires special tools and training.
In fact, most autoclave repairs consist mostly of simply replacing parts……..that is finding the defective part, and replacing it with a new one. And if you have a screwdriver and a couple of ordinary wrenches, then you probably already own the tools necessary to complete most autoclave repairs you will run into
With that being said, if you can turn a wrench & know how to use the screwdriver, you have the necessary skill set to complete most autoclave repairs
Autoclave repair really is just that simple. The “trick” is in knowing how to find the part(s) causing the problem(s) you are encountering. Also known as “Autoclave Troubleshooting”
Most Autoclave Troubleshooting is accomplished by determining the symptoms and simply following the path.
What?
Let me explain. Let’s say you are having a problem with water not filling the chamber like it is supposed to. No water in the autoclave chamber (or filling slowly) is the symptom. And now for the path…….
First, lets look at where the water starts ,and where it is supposed to end up. The water starts in the water reservoir and ends up in the autoclave chamber. The path the water takes to get there is through the tubing, with various parts and filters along the way. To troubleshoot the filling problem with the autoclave, you merely follow the path the water takes and find out where it is stopping
Once you know where it stops, you know which part to replace (or clean out)!
You can follow this same autoclave troubleshooting process for pretty much any problem you encounter with your autoclave
And, if you should run into a problem, or just need someone to walk you through things, there is now free autoclave repair technical support available.
