periOperative Registered Nurses (AORN), the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC), The Joint Commission (JCAHO) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (USFDA), this system replaces sterilization’ terminology with ‘flash ‘immediate use’ language. Validated immediate-use prevacuum and gravity cycles are now available, and cycles can be customized and named by the user. Increased capacity and productivity Although these are categorized as sterilizers, their capacity is outstanding. The ‘small’ 20x20 model has up to three shelves with improved horizontal clearance and vertical spacing. Up to 75 lbs per cycle can be sterilized in the 20-inch models, and 50 lbs per cycle can be sterilized in the 16-inch models. An additional wider intermediate shelf is available for the 16-inch which enables the chamber to accommodate two large sets. This increased capacity takes up no additional room in the department, however, since the system has the same footprint as earlier models. Also, the Teflon®* sheathed easy-glide shelves allow fast and easy loading and unloading, to streamline processing. In addition, the Chimeron foot pedal opens the door to help avoid load contamination, and saves steps in the loading/unloading processes. Easy and safe Chimeron systems have a multitude of improvements that help make them safe and very user-friendly. For example, the front panel was redesigned and has a non-heat-conducting door surround for safety when unloading hot items from the chamber. Other safety features include a door that stops upon obstruction, and a control lockout feature that prevents the activation of a cycle if the door isn’t sealed. Many enhancements have been added to make the Chimeron systems very easy to operate. The wider shelf clearance makes it easier to load and unload larger sets (bariatric, Bookwalter, ortho sets). There is also a built-in flush/drain for steam generator units that extends their useful life and makes maintenance easier. The printer is located at an ergonomic height to avoid strain, and the enhanced control panel has a large countdown display that’s visible from 15 feet away for easy scanning and workflow planning. The Chimeron systems also have quick, intuitive control programming that gets cycles started faster, and Chimeron control panel messages are displayed in complete phrases, without confusing codes.
