Class B Sterilization Cycle (with Pressure & Vacuum Phases)

The Class B Autoclave follows a three-phase sterilization cycle that ensures complete penetration of steam, even inside hollow and wrapped instruments.

1. Pre-Vacuum Phase (0 to -0.9 bar)

Multiple vacuum pulses are created to remove air from the chamber. This drops the pressure to approximately -0.9 bar, allowing saturated steam to fully reach internal surfaces of instruments.

2. Sterilization Phase (+2.1 to +2.45 bar)

Steam is introduced and maintained at a constant pressure between 2.1 and 2.45 bar, depending on the selected cycle (121°C or 134°C). This kills all microorganisms, including spores.

3. Post-Vacuum & Drying Phase (-0.8 to -0.9 bar)

A final vacuum removes moisture from the load. Pressure drops again to around -0.9 bar, ensuring dry, sterile instruments ready for immediate storage or use.

Pressure Summary:

Phase	Approx. Pressure
Pre-Vacuum	-0.8 to -0.9 bar
Sterilization	+2.1 to +2.45 bar
Drying (Post-Vac)	-0.8 to -0.9 bar

What’s Different in 16 & 23 litres?

Only the physical dimensions, chamber size, and load capacity vary between the two:

Model	Chamber Volume	Max Load
16 Litre	16 Litres	4.5 kg (vacuum mode)
23 Litre	23 Litres	6.0 kg (vacuum mode)
