AMSCO 400 Series Small Steam Sterilizer

The AMSCO 400 Series Small Steam Sterilizer (autoclave) provides efficient sterilization for space constrained facilities. Engineered for staff and patient safety, while meeting AAMI/AORN guidelines, the 20" x 20" small autoclave is validated to accommodate up to three 25-lb sets.

How Does the AMSCO 400 Small Steam Sterilizer Work?

These autoclaves are designed for fast and efficient steam sterilization of heat- and moisture-stable materials. The AMSCO 400 Series Small Steam Sterilizer is equipped with prevacuum, gravity, liquid, and all applicable test cycles. An optional Steam Flush Pressure Pulse (SFPP) configuration adds this cycle to your autoclave, eliminating the need for Bowie-Dick testing which reduces operating costs.

Why Choose the AMSCO 400 Small Steam Sterilizer?

The AMSCO 400 Series Sterilizers are designed for quick turnaround in the OR and SPD, while meeting AAMI/AORN guidelines and reducing water usage per pound of instruments processed.
