<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To notify a user of an abnormal state by taking a safety aspect into consideration so that operation is started with a lid surely closed in a high-pressure steam sterilizer for sterilizing an object to be sterilized contained in a chamber under high pressure steam. <P>SOLUTION: The high-pressure steam sterilizer has a lid housing which is supported by a hinge part at a back side of the top part of a sterilizer main body in a freely openable and closable way, and which is provided with a lid for hermetically closing a top opening of the chamber, and sterilizes an object to be sterilized contained in the chamber under high pressure steam. Closure lid detection switches 7A and 7B for detecting that the lid housing is in a normal closed state with respect to the sterilizer main body (in which the lid hermetically closes the top opening of the chamber) are arranged at left and right of the front of the lid housing, and when the whole closure lid detection switches do not detect the closed state in the case of starting the operation of the high pressure steam sterilizer, the operation is not started and a warning mode is started to output warning sound representing the state of the warning mode from a speaker SP. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
