OWNER’S MANUAL
4. Insert the purge tube into the sterilization liner bag with the aluminum bobbin and
quick release fitting at the open end. Place the black Velcro® strap around the
sterilization liner bag and the bobbin of the purge tube, and pull it snug though its
loop to close the sterilization liner bag. The strap must secure the sterilization liner
bag tightly around the aluminum bobbin to keep gas from escaping.
5. Connect the quick release connector to the purge tube, if it is not already connected.
☺HINT: The sterilization liner bag may be loaded and sealed away from the steri-
lizer cabinet, and connected to the purge tube once you are ready to start a cycle.
2) Starting the Cycle
1. Make sure the AN74 i/ix power cord is connected. Press the right side of the power
switch located on the right rear of the cabinet. Wait to see the ‘AN74 I
ANPROLENE STERILIZER’ and the ‘START’ message to appear on the cabinet
display.
2. Push the button to the right of START.
3. Wait for the SELF TEST and number of elapsed PUMP HOURS to appear. (If above
18,000 hours, call Andersen for service.)
4. Press the button to the right of the PURGE message on the display and wait for the
time to count down from 1 minute 30 seconds to ‘00:00:00’. The sterilization liner
bag should compress as excess air is removed.
5. When the display indicates “BREAK AMPOULE,” carefully, so as not to puncture
the sterilization liner bag, grasp the ampoule through the sterilization liner bag and
activate it by snapping off the top.
3) Selecting Cycle Length
1. Close the door.
2. Lock the sterilizer and remove the key.
3. SELECT CYCLE LENGTH. (Right button = 12 Hour, Left button = 24 Hour)
WARNING: The usual Anprolene sterilization cycle is 12 hours, plus a 2-hour
purge cycle. When sterilizing lengths of tubing 3 feet (91.4 cm) or longer, or a full
load of gas absorbent items, it may be necessary to increase the cycle time to 24
hours with the ‘24 HOUR CYCLE’ button and to use two ampoules.
4. If an electronic beep sounds, it is an alert that 5 seconds have elapsed and the
AN 74 i/ix is awaiting a 12/24 hour cycle time selection.
5. Log sterilization data if required.
WARNING: Never interrupt a cycle once the gas ampoule has been activated. An
alarm will sound if the door is opened during the cycle.
