Prima Class B autoclave, 18 and 23 litres

Prima is a Class B steam autoclave: the class that, under the European standard for small sterilisers, handles every type of load, from solid to hollow instruments, wrapped or loose, through to gauze and fabrics. Before the steam the chamber goes down to -0.9 bar, so the air makes way for steam even inside cannulas and in pouches.

It comes in two capacities. The 18 litre suits a typical day in a beauty salon or small practice; the 23 litre has the same cross-section but a deeper chamber, useful when loads are long or numerous. In both, the chamber has four shelves and also takes surgical trays.

It is designed to be simple to use: push-button panel, a display showing the cycle graph live, a stainless steel clean-water tank and quick couplings for filling it and draining the used water. An electronic check verifies water quality, and every cycle is recorded twice: on paper from the built-in printer and on a USB stick.
