The sleek design of the AMSCO® 600 Medium Steam Sterilizer (autoclave) meets two critical demands in your department – maximum throughput in a minimum footprint. Whether designing a new Sterile Processing Department (SPD), Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC), or planning for a department renovation, the combination of productivity and space savings makes the AMSCO 600 the obvious choice.

How the AMSCO 600 Medium Steam Sterilizer Works

Medical devices such as surgical instruments and implanted medical devices that meet sterile body tissues or fluids are considered critical devices and must be sterilized. Steam sterilization in an autoclave machine is the ideal fit for sterilizing heat - and moisture - stable items because it is reliable, consistent, and lethal to microorganisms while being safe for operators.

The AMSCO 600 Series Steam Sterilizers are configured for prevacuum and gravity steam sterilization cycles. The medium autoclave safely sterilizes up to 375 lbs per cycle, allowing you to efficiently handle high-volume sterilization and heavier trays while meeting compliance guidelines.

Why Choose the AMSCO 600 Medium Steam Sterilizer?

  • Space-saving design – Easy loading with automated vertical door and no side or rear service clearance required.
  • Multiple sterilizers can be installed side-by-side allowing your department to maximize space while creating a productivity powerhouse with 70% space savings per unit.*
  • Workflow that never stops – Add a FAST LANE to your department to batch smaller loads that are needed quickly, including a full load of orthopedic sets, or stay up and running if your larger sterilizer is down for service.
  • Clean steam-ready – All AMSCO 600 Series Sterilizers include stainless-steel piping with an optional integrated stainless-steel steam generator.
  • Keep your process in motion – Improve staff efficiency with intuitive controls that keep you aware of cycle progress and transfer loads with ease using the variable height transfer carriages.
  • Fully warrantied construction – 15-year chamber warranty and the industry's only two-year gasket warranty. The steam-activated gasket never requires lubrication and the fully jacketed chamber means less condensation forms on chamber interior.
