Understanding the Sterilization Process: How to sterilize surgical instruments using a Class B Autoclave in practice and clinic context! Discover the proper sterilization process of hollow instruments.

The example of a Phaco handpiece displays the necessary steps of a Class B steam sterilization process. Only a class B autoclave is able to remove the air inside the instrument. The MELAG steam sterilizers provide a reliable solution with record-operating times as well as intuitive operation.

The European workgroup appointed by the EU Commission has passed the European Standard EN 13060 in the course of the harmonization of different national sterilization standards. The standard divides autoclaves into the classes “B”, “S” and “N”. “Class B” is the highest class conforming to the most stringent demands and therefore can be unrestrictedly used for the sterilization of all possible loads used in medical practices (also with hollow bodied instruments, handpieces and turbines) and for all kinds of sterilization packaging.

A ”class B“ autoclave must in any case pass a Helix test with a test specimen as per EN 13060:2001. According to expert opinion, that can only be achieved with a fractionated pre-vacuum procedure.
The autoclaves of the profi class conform to “class B” requirements and are therefore absolutely future-safe.
