Frequently asked questions
Is the material durable for high-temperature cycles?
Yes, it is constructed from Black Viton (FKM). This material is specifically chosen for its excellent resistance to both heat and chemicals, making it ideal for the demanding environment of a sterilization chamber.
Does this replace the original STERRAD part?
Absolutely. The RPI SDS057 is a direct replacement for OEM Part #22-00537-388. It is precision-engineered to match the specifications required for STERRAD 100S bulk sterilizers and endoscope processing systems, ensuring an exact fit.
Does it include the lubricant needed for installation?
Yes, the kit is designed to be ready for installation. It includes the Chamber/Door Seal and two pieces of High Temp Lubricant (RPI Part #RPL090), which are necessary to ensure the seal performs optimally from the start.
What is the durometer hardness of the seal?
The seal features a 75 Durometer hardness. This specific rating provides the ideal balance of flexibility and structural integrity to maintain a secure, airtight seal against the sterilization chamber door.
Are the dimensions precise for the chamber door?
Yes, the seal is manufactured to exact specifications:
- Internal Diameter (ID): 18.95 inches
- Outer Diameter (OD): 19.37 inches
- Cross Section (CS): 0.21 inches
This precise sizing is critical for maintaining the airtight integrity of your sterilization unit.
Is this part found in other maintenance kits?
Yes, this seal is a key component included within the PM-2 Kit (RPI Part #SDK060). If you are performing a full preventative maintenance routine on your STERRAD 100S, this is the correct part required.
Is this part supplied as factory new?
Yes, this is a Factory New component. It is supplied as an unused, high-quality replacement part to ensure the continued integrity and reliability of your sterilization equipment.
Which equipment models does this seal support?
The RPI SDS057 is specifically designed for:
- STERRAD 100S Bulk Sterilizers
- Endoscope Processing Systems
It is a specialized component engineered to fit the chamber assembly of these specific units.
Why is replacing the door seal important?
Replacing the door seal is essential for maintaining the airtight integrity of the sterilization chamber. A worn or degraded seal can compromise the sterilization cycle, so ensuring you have a high-quality replacement is vital for equipment performance.
Why is Viton (FKM) preferred for this application?
Black Viton (FKM) is a high-performance fluoroelastomer. In the context of sterilization, it is the industry standard because it maintains its structural and sealing properties even when repeatedly exposed to the intense heat and chemical environments inherent to sterilization cycles.
