Key Features

Popular Options

Separate Steam Generator

Steam is generated quickly, helping to reduce overall cycle times. There are no heaters in the bottom of the chamber ensuring that the chamber is clean and unencumbered at all times. This in turn helps to reduce the risk of cross-contamination.

304L Stainless Steel Pressure Vessel

All Mediclave autoclaves are constructed with a one-piece cylindrical steel pressure vessel, made from high grade 304L stainless steel making these the strongest pressure vessel by providing equal pressure around the whole chamber.

Vacuum Pump

Our B Class Mediclaves are fitted with vacuum pumps to aid with air removal, ensuring that the steam can penetrate deep into the load and not be effected by air pockets. Vacuum also assists with the cooling phase by helping to dissipate heat from the load.

Flexible Control System

A range of pre-set and user configurable cycles are available onto each model. All cycle data, status and messages are clearly displayed on an LCD screen. An audible alarm will alert you to any cycle abnormality.

Fill and Drain Tanks

Mediclave autoclaves are fitted with integral clean water and waste tanks. Each tank has sensors to alert you when empty or full. Both tanks have quick connections for easy filling and draining, and they can, if desired be permanently connected to a water supply and drain.

Water Demineralisation System

The high quality of water is essential for the smooth and reliable operation of all medical autoclaves. LTE can provide a number of solutions to ensure a constant supply of demineralised water either just for your sterilizer, or indeed for other equipment within the practice.

Printer

Can be fitted with a printer allowing each cycles parameters to be printed out to ensure all parameters have been met and the cycle has completed successfully.

Bowie Dick Test

The Bowie Dick Test is used to verify that steam is fully penetrating a porous load for complete sterilisation. The Mediclave autoclave has a cycle specifically designed for the Bowie Dick test.

Helix Test Kit

The Helix Test is used to verify that steam is fully penetrating a hollow load, by using a long narrow tube with an indicator on the end which changes colour to verify the level of steam penetration. The Mediclave has a cycle specifically designed for the Helix test.

Spore Test Kit

Spore tests, otherwise known as biological indicator tests, will test whether highly resistant strains of bacterial spores survive the sterilisation process by introducing these spores into the autoclave on the test kit to be sterilised.
