What is a Class B autoclave?

An autoclave is a device that sterilizes instruments with steam and is also called a steam sterilizer. In the web shop you will find only class B autoclaves. This is the highest class. The devices are suitable for sterilizing many types of instruments. Not only massive instruments, also hollow packed instruments can be sterilized with a class B autoclave. If you are going to sterilize packaged instruments, you have the choice of ready-to-use sterilization bags or sterilization paper on rolls.

What is the function of an autoclave?

An autoclave is a steam sterilizer with the function of sterilization. This can be used for a variety of purposes. Sterilization is important in some professions, think dentist or family doctor. Other practices such as tattoo and piercing shops or jewelry stores also need an autoclave. It is important to keep in mind that the function of an autoclave is sterilization and not cleaning. For that you are better off using an ultrasonic cleaner.

How does an autoclave work?

An autoclave sterilizes your instruments with steam. It ensures that the instruments are clean before use. For this, you use an ultrasonic cleaner, for example. The autoclave works as follows:

1. The vacuum pump starts with the pre-vacuum process. This ensures that all air is removed from the sterilisation chamber.
2. The autoclave fills with hot steam.
3. The high temperatures result in an increase in pressure. As a result, bacteria cannot get trapped in any air bubbles and do not survive the process.
4. Sobald dies geschehen ist, entfernt das Nachvakuumprogramm den gesamten Dampf aus der Sterilisationskammer.
5. Your instruments are now clean and ready to be used again.

The duration of a round of sterilization with the autoclave varies. This is due to the temperature at which the autoclave is set. The lower the temperature, the longer the sterilization process takes. It is important to regularly check the operation of your autoclave for optimal results.

What types (classes) of autoclaves are there?

Are you going to buy an autoclave? Then it is useful to know what types there are before making a purchase. Do you see an autoclave type B for sale somewhere? Then this indicates a steriliser class B. Within autoclaves there are 3 different classes:

• N-class autoclave (lowest class)
• S-class autoclave (middle class)
• B-class autoclave (highest class)

Depending on which class you choose, the autoclave price varies. Of course, a higher class is also more expensive. All autoclaves in the webshop are B class, the highest class.

Difference between autoclave and sterilizer

You can use an autoclave as a sterilizer, but you cannot necessarily use a sterilizer as an autoclave. This has to do with how an autoclave works. This is because an autoclave differs from a sterilizer. A sterilizer uses only heat (dry) to sterilize. An autoclave uses steam, heat and a vacuum to sterilize. In a sterilizer, you can sterilize less versatile items. For example, it is not possible to sterilize hollow instruments in a sterilizer. 

What can I sterilize in an autoclave? 

An autoclave is versatile in its use. In many practices, autoclaves are required due to hygiene guidelines. This is because an autoclave is one of the most efficient and effective ways to sterilize instruments. You can sterilize various items in an autoclave such as medical instruments and dental instruments. Hollow instruments are also sterilized well. Other items you can sterilize in an autoclave are jewelry such as watches, earrings or piercings.

What else can I use an autoclave for?

An autoclave is versatile. No matter what you want to sterilize, an autoclave is a great solution. Besides the industries mentioned, you can also use an autoclave for jewelry or piercings, for example. So even as a piercing shop or jeweler, an autoclave can be a great solution. Our autoclaves are also ideal for obstetric practices and dental hygienists.

How long does something remain sterile after autoclaving?

Objects and instruments sterilized and packed in laminate bags have a shelf life of 1 month. It is important that the packaging be undamaged and dry. You can increase the shelf life by storing the wrapped sterile items in a sealed container exclusively for sterile items. In this way, you can increase the shelf life to 6 months.

Does an autoclave have a water tank? 

All autoclaves from B-autoclave are equipped with a water tank. Therefore, you do not need to connect your autoclave to the water supply. This means you can easily install and use your autoclave. Do refill the water tank regularly. It is important that you use demineralized or distilled water in the autoclave for this purpose.
