A sterilizer user customizes basic sterilizing cycles to his needs by the use of a switch matrix (148). The selected customizing information is transferred by a microprocessor (140) of an electronic controller (36) to a buffer store (146) from where it is transferred by a writer/ reader (152/154) to a magnetic stripe on a card (302). The information is thereby automatically stored in permanent, machine-retrievable form. In operation, the electronic controller (36) combines the information stored on the card with a program for a basic sterilizer cycle stored in a memory (144). The number of customized cycles which can be established by the use is not limited by the memory capacity of the controller and provision can be made for security of customized cycles. <IMAGE> |
