Features:

• The autoclave operates with saturated steam as the sterilizing agent with a temperature range from 105 °C (221°F) to 137 °C (279 °F) and a working pressure that meets AMSE and PED requirements.
• Each autoclave model is available with either single or double door.
• The 69 series is available with two door options:
• Fully automatic horizontal sliding door
• Hinged door with automatic locking
• Tuttnauer laboratory autoclaves are designed to meet BL3 and BL4 bio-safety levels. 
• Furthermore, an optional Bio-Hazard system allows for an effluent decontamination cycle that sterilizes contaminated laboratory waste. 
• Our quality features enable the convenience and durability needed to operate an autoclave with complete peace of mind.
• The fully jacketed chamber is constructed of long lasting 316L grade stainless steel with superior corrosion resistance.
• In addition, the generator and piping are constructed of stainless steel.
• The pneumatic valves are air pressure operated, reducing maintenance.
• They are safer and more reliable, eliminating the requirement for high voltage.
• In addition, if no buttons or switches are operated for four hours, the autoclave will switch to standby mode.

Door Safety

• The doors are designed with independent mechanical and digital safety features that guarantee a safe working of the sterilizer.
• A safety device prevents the operator from opening the door when chamber is pressurized
• Steam is not allowed into the chamber when the door is open
• A cycle will not start if the door is open or not properly closed
• The door cannot open until chamber pressure reaches room pressure
• Sliding Door Safety -The sliding door progress will automatically stop if an obstruction is detected
• Double Door Safety – interlocks prevent both doors from being opened simultaneously  

General Safety Features:

• Double Independent Monitoring: The combined digital and mechanical monitoring provides a cross reference and guarantees accurate results.
• The operator has two independent means to monitor temperature and pressure.
• Safety Valves: Both the chamber and the jacket are equipped with safety valves –if the pressure exceeds the allowed limit the safety valves will discharge.
• Built-in Steam Generator Safety: A water level monitoring system maintains a constant water level and ensures safe operation of the heaters.
• Emergency Shut-Off: Easily accessible emergency switches for immediate and safe shut down of the sterilizer. 

High Precision Documentation

• Cycle documentation is crucial within the laboratory. A cycle that is not properly recorded is not considered done.
• Tuttnauer uses an advanced microprocessor for the automated process control. 
• Tuttnauer Control Panel is user-friendly, and consists of a 4 line, 20 Column LCD and a functional touchpad.
• A self diagnostic system provides messages and alerts that are displayed in a clear language.
• Audible alerts are sounded with the messages.
• The LCD display provides constant cycle parameter readouts and cycle progress information.
• The control system is self-diagnostic and provides fault messages to the operator.
• Double door sterilizers may be installed with an optional control interface on the unloading side of the autoclave. 
• If requested, a double door sterilizer may have a fully operated console on both sides. 
• The modularity and flexibility of our system gives you targeted and customized solutions to further improve the tracking and documentation of the sterilization process.
• The following documentation  features are optional.

Touch Screen

• The touch screen in combination with ADMC-software displays cycle data in both a textual or graphical interface and provides a continuous visual guide of the progress of each stage in the sterilization cycle.
• Moreover, it provides a visual display of all piping for monitoring purposes.

ADMC software

• The ADMC software allows complete control and monitoring of up to eight sterilizers.
• The software retrieves data, creates graphs, tables and print outs, controls the autoclave and shows real-time data.

Barcode Reader

• The barcode reader allows material identification.
• The data is transferred to the ADMC and linked to the sterilization cycle parameters for streamlined instrument handling.

Chart Recorder

• The high speed chart recorder is an independent temperature and pressure measuring system.
• It features analog/mechanical trend records and print-outs in color.
• Simple operation with an easy-view display allows one to key-in various items of set data.

Data Logger

• The data logger is the hospital’s protection, making documentation even more convenient and reliable.
• It stores over 100,000 hours of cycle data, displayed either graphically or numerically.
