Eryigit STR Series
Eryigit · Model STR Series
Stand By Feature Cut off feature when water, electricity interruption and saturated steam quality drops There are 2 PT100 in the cell and 1 in the generator; Ability to make precise pressure measurements with electronic pressure transducers Not affected by ± 10% utility voltage changes Unlimited programmable free program feature Has a hepa filter that filters 99.99% of the particles bigger than 0.3 microns Ability to work with steam from the central steam system in hospitals Ability to operate the system until service intervention in case of failure of any of the resistances There are 3 mechanical safety valves for safety purposes It also has the ability to electronically control pressure and temperature with PLC. The validation services for our products are carried out by German accredited organization Hygcen GmbH.
Key tips
- ·A failed biological indicator means the entire load is not sterile - no exceptions, regardless of how the cycle printout looks.
- ·Door gasket wear is the most common real cause of a failed vacuum/pressure test - check it before deeper diagnostics.
- ·Water quality directly affects steam-cycle validity - don't ignore scale or mineral buildup.
Typical Failure Modes
Failure patterns typical of this equipment class - general BMET reference, not verified against this exact unit's own service history unless flagged. Severity is a category-level estimate.
Door gasket / seal leak
HighSymptoms: Pressure loss, long cycle, steam leak.
Root cause: Aged rubber gasket.
Vacuum pump failure
MediumSymptoms: Poor air removal, non-condensable gas fault.
Root cause: Worn vanes/seals.
Chamber temperature sensor drift
MediumSymptoms: Temp out of tolerance, failed Bowie-Dick.
Root cause: Sensor aging.
Water quality / feed fault
LowSymptoms: Scaling, conductivity alarm.
Root cause: RO/DI system failure.

PM Checklist
Preventive-maintenance tasks typical of this equipment class. Perform to the manufacturer's procedure and your facility's policy - this is general reference, not a schedule for this specific unit.
- ·Daily biological and chemical indicator test loads
- ·Door gasket / seal inspection
- ·Steam trap and drain strainer cleaning
- ·Annual full PM and pressure-vessel certification
Troubleshooting Approach
A structured starting point derived from the failure modes above. Follow the manufacturer's service documentation for the actual procedure.
Symptom: Door gasket / seal leak
- Confirm the presentation - typically pressure loss, long cycle, steam leak - and note the exact alarm or message and the conditions when it occurs.
- Check the most likely cause first: aged rubber gasket.
- Isolate the affected subsystem using the manufacturer's functional check or self-test, where one is provided.
- If the fault is confirmed and not a field adjustment, service or replace the door gasket / seal per the manufacturer's service documentation.
- Return the device to service only after the manufacturer's functional and applicable electrical-safety checks pass.
- Record the findings, any parts used, and the verification results in the maintenance history.
Symptom: Steam generator / heater fault
- Confirm the presentation - typically no steam, low temp, cycle abort - and note the exact alarm or message and the conditions when it occurs.
- Check the most likely cause first: failed heating element or scale buildup.
- Isolate the affected subsystem using the manufacturer's functional check or self-test, where one is provided.
- If the fault is confirmed and not a field adjustment, service or replace the steam generator heating element per the manufacturer's service documentation.
- Return the device to service only after the manufacturer's functional and applicable electrical-safety checks pass.
- Record the findings, any parts used, and the verification results in the maintenance history.
