• automatic start programming function
• possibility of automatic door opening after the cycle finishing

As a standard, the device is equipped with ”Pre-heating Program“ (134°C/1min).

Standard Programs:

• Packed tools 134°C/7 min
• Packed materials with intensive additional drying 134°C/7 min
• Packed products of glass, rubber and plastics 121°C/20 min

Special Programs with Parameters according to Client’s Specification:

• Prions 134°C/60 min

• Solution in open bottles 121°C/20 min, spontaneous cooling
• “Arnold” 100°C
• Laparo, allo-plastics, optics...
• Extremely long cavities
• Other special programs

Programs according to specific requirements must be validated at the client! Maximal safety during sterilisation of solutions – together with standard operation and safety procedures and processes, the solutions sterilization is checked by three independent systems – temperature and pressure control in sterilisation chamber, temperature in reference bottle and minimal necessary time of the sterilization cycle. Only based on fulfilment of all and any above stated processes the program is assessed as finished and the system allows for the chamber door to be open.
