(33 - 63 Liters)
The Astell Scientific range of Closed Door Drying benchtop autoclaves are designed to offer convenience and flexibility in the sterilization of wrapped and unwrapped instruments. Referred to as “Class S” or “Type S” autoclaves, these are suitable for dental and veterinary clinics, and are FDA 510(k) approved.
Overview
Astell Closed Door Drying Benchtop Autoclaves are suitable for use in Dental and Veterinary clinics, and offer sterilization for instruments and glassware with the added benefit of hot air drying. This type of autoclave is also sometimes referred to as a ‘Class S autoclave’ or ‘Type S autoclave’.
Instruments for sterilization could include wrapped and unwrapped metal surgical instruments, unwrapped glassware and pouched hand tools.
These units require no plumbing, and only a standard single phase power supply. They are compliant with BS EN 13060:2014; ISO 9001:2015; PED 2014/68/EU; ANSI/AAMI ST55:2010 standard; FDA 510(k) approved; and are manufactured to the principles of Medical Devices Directive (93/42/EEC).
Water Conservation with Ecofill:
The Closed Door Drying autoclave range has an integral tank and an in-built water re-circulation system. Once the reservoir is filled, it provides water for steam generation and collects condensate water that is automatically returned from the chamber at the end of each cycle, allowing up to 15 cycles before refill.
Hot Air Drying:
Following the completion of a sterilization cycle, filtered air is circulated through the autoclave chamber by an efficient air pump, rapidly drying each load. The chamber door remains closed throughout.
Touchscreen Controller:
Astell’s standard 5.7″ color touchscreen is easy to use and fully automatic, featuring an integrated USB data port and data archiving for up to 5,000 previously run cycles. Users can program and store up to 4 additional customized cycles within the controller.
Circular chamber shelf rack, two wire shelves and one pouch rack included.

Integral Data Printer:
Provides a permanent and traceable record of ‘Time, Temperature, Pressure, Batch No., Cycle Name’ etc. A cycle report print-out includes provision for operator signatures. The printer can also be used to provide reports of cycle settings and servicing information.
IQ/OQ Documentation
Provides the user with blank documents for them to complete. The IQ section includes details of calibration equipment, an order acknowledgement, PED (Pressure Equipment Directive) compliance, a Declaration of Conformity, FAT (Factory Acceptance Test), a drawing schedule, ISO 9001:2015 certification, pressure vessel specification and door safety checks. The OQ documentation includes an Automatic Control Test sheet (per cycle) and Chamber Temperature Distribution (per cycle).
Remote Maintenance, Diagnostics
Enables network connection by ethernet or Wi-Fi or 3G/4G (SIM card required). Allows an Astell Service Engineer remote access to the unit’s touchscreen controller, e.g. for settings and software updates or troubleshooting.
Ethernet Port
Allows the visual display of the color touchscreen controller on another device. This works by using a VNC Viewer (not supplied) and a PC or other hardware capable of running VNC. It also offers the ability to save cycle logs to a server or over FTP for backup.
21 CFR 11:
Enables the autoclave to comply with Data Security, Data Integrity, Traceability/Audit Trails and Electronic Signature rules. Essentially this means any change made to a cycle, option, or device parameter will require an electronic user signature. All device changes and signatures are electronically logged and saved in a file format that cannot be altered in any way.
