Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Class B Autoclave?

A Class B autoclave is a high-performance steriliser that uses vacuum and steam cycles to effectively sterilise medical and laboratory instruments. It provides the highest level of sterilisation available for small benchtop autoclaves.

What is the Difference Between Class B and Class S Autoclaves?

Class B autoclaves use pre-vacuum technology to remove air before sterilisation, making them suitable for all types of loads, including hollow and porous instruments. Class S autoclaves, on the other hand, are only suitable for some specific instrument types and lack the same level of sterilisation efficiency.

How Long Does a Class B Autoclave Cycle Take?

Depending on the model and load type, sterilisation cycles typically range between 15 and 45 minutes. Most modern Class B autoclaves feature rapid cycles for increased efficiency.

How Often Should a Class B Autoclave Be Serviced?

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficiency of your autoclave. It is recommended to perform routine cleaning after each use and schedule professional servicing at least once a year.
