Medical, surgical or laboratory sterilizers

1. Scope and Applicability

This PCR covers cradle-to-gate production of finished sterilizers designed for medical, surgical or laboratory loads, including steam, dry-heat and low-temperature sterilizers. It includes upstream production of bill-of-material inputs and purchased components, foreground fabrication and assembly, factory testing and cleaning, and shipping packaging up to the manufacturer factory gate.

The representative route is a configurable laboratory steam sterilizer with a stainless-steel pressure chamber, electronic controls and optional integral steam generation. For another sterilization technology, declare the technology and instantiate its technology-specific BOM, process inputs, wastes and test requirements as separate atomic exchanges without duplicating the common rules.

Use-phase cycles, customer installation, distribution after the factory gate, maintenance, replacement consumables and end-of-life are excluded. Washer-disinfectors without a sterilization function, household appliances, and industrial food or pharmaceutical treatment equipment outside the medical, surgical or laboratory boundary are excluded. Detachable accessories and loading equipment are included only when shipped with the declared product.

4. Measurement and Unit Rules

rule_id	Applies to	Required property	Required unit	Rule
net_product_mass	reference product and BOM normalization	Mass 93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66	kg	Weigh or reconcile the net finished sterilizer without detachable shipping packaging; normalize amounts to 1 kg net finished product.
packaging_separation	shipping packaging	Mass 93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66	kg	Record each packaging exchange separately and exclude it from net product mass; reused pallets use net consumption per shipment after documented turns.
electricity_conversion	purchased electricity	Net calorific value 93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200c9a66	MJ	Preserve meter records in kWh and convert using 1 kWh = 3.6 MJ; do not mix factory and customer-use electricity.
water_mass_conversion	process water and cleaning wastewater	Mass 93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66	kg	Prefer direct mass records; when only volume is available, use measured or supplier-declared density and retain the conversion record.

5. System Boundary

The cradle-to-gate system includes raw-material extraction and component production through upstream datasets, inbound component supply, manufacturer-controlled fabrication, assembly, factory testing, cleaning and final packaging. The verified Getinge PEP uses a BOM-based material model and separates supplier production from factory and final packaging; the FDA record supports stainless pressure-vessel construction for the representative steam route.

Distribution after the factory gate, operation, on-site utilities consumed by customers, service, maintenance and end-of-life are outside this PCR. Factory test cycles remain inside the boundary.

starting_condition_role	Foreground entry condition for fabrication, assembly, testing, cleaning and packaging

recursive_input_rule	If an input is a complete or near-complete sterilizer, stop recursion at that transfer and link a separately documented upstream sterilizer dataset.
