AMSCO® 400 Steam Sterilizer
STERIS AMSCO® 400 Series Steam Sterilizers
.
AMSCO® 400 Series Steam Sterilizers are engineered to be fully compliant with current steam sterilization standards. The 20 x 20 sterilizer is validated to accommodate a maximum of three 25-lb sets (up to 75 lbs) per load, and the 16-inch models can sterilize two 25-lb sets (up to 50 lbs per cycle), per AAMI guidance for processing weights. They also accommodate loaner sets and larger bariatric and orthopedic devices. Also, the AMSCO 400 Series Small Steam Sterilizers prevacuum and steam-flush-pressure-pulse (SFPP) cycles have been validated, per AAMI recommendation, for porous items. Validated “immediate-use” prevacuum and gravity cycles are available, replacing “flash” terminology, and cycles can be customized and named by the user. AMSCO 400 Series software reduces steam and water usage per pound of instruments processed, and the steam-activated gasket requires no lubrication and carries a two year warranty. The optional SFPP cycle can eliminate the need for Bowie-Dick testing, which can greatly reduce annual operating cost.
