The Flight CLAVE-B’s advanced vacuum system and state-of-the-art features make it a standout choice for ensuring the highest standards of sterilization in dental and medical environments. Here’s a breakdown of some of the most notable features and advantages:
Dynamic Pre/Post-Vacuum System
- Pre-Sterilization Vacuum: This crucial feature removes cold air from the chamber before sterilization starts, which allows for more thorough steam penetration throughout the load. This leads to better sterilization results.
- Post-Sterilization Vacuum: After the sterilization cycle, this vacuum helps to remove steam, which facilitates faster and more effective drying. This is especially beneficial for items like sterilization pouches and packs, ensuring that they are thoroughly dry and ready for use.
Capacity and Efficiency
- Chamber Capacity: With a 23L chamber, the CLAVE-B provides ample space for sterilizing instruments, and its tray configuration (4 trays included, 5 maximum) allows for efficient loading and processing of items.
- Faster Cycle Times: Due to its advanced technology, the CLAVE-B reduces the time needed for sterilization while still achieving effective results, allowing users to sterilize more instruments in a shorter period.
Versatile Sterilization Cycles
- The CLAVE-B offers a range of pre-programmed cycles for various types of materials, including:
- Unwrapped items
- Wrapped items
- Plastics
- Textiles
- Prions (for high-risk pathogens)
- It also includes 3 important test cycles: Bowie & Dick Test (B&D), Vacuum Test, and Helix Test, ensuring thorough checks for system integrity.
Advanced Software and Safety Features
- Thermal & Pressure Sensors: These sensors monitor and regulate the sterilization process, detecting any irregularities. If an issue arises, the system will display error codes to alert the user.
- Safety Features: The CLAVE-B incorporates multiple safety mechanisms, such as pressure safety and error notifications, to ensure that the machine operates smoothly and securely, minimizing the risk of malfunctions or accidents.
Ease of Use and Maintenance
- Automatic and User-Friendly: The system is fully automatic, with preset cycles making it easy for operators to use, even with minimal experience. The intuitive interface also ensures ease of monitoring.
- Low Maintenance: The design of the CLAVE-B makes it simple to clean and maintain, with automatic maintenance notifications to keep it running optimally.
Conclusion
The Flight CLAVE-B is a reliable, efficient, and versatile sterilizer ideal for environments where both speed and thoroughness are critical. Its advanced features, including the pre/post-vacuum system and automated cycle programming, make it an excellent choice for practices looking to streamline their sterilization process while maintaining top-quality results.
