• stainless steel cover sheets are reinforced by a frame ensuring an extended working life in comparison with other usual designs
• easy access to the device is ensured by door lockable panels
• reinforced stainless cover sheets for quiet operation

• special divided double chamber jacket of sterilization chamber for better and more accurate course of sterilization chamber with an independent and stable chamber pre-heating lowering consumption of demi-water ca 20%
• integrated device for supply water saving, lowering consumptieon of operating cost by up to 15%
• steam generator with microprocessor automatic control and unique design of steam generator with big capacity and automatic desalination ensures short times of sterilization cycles and permanently high steam quality

• PLC consisting from two built-in microprocessor control systems (Master-Slave) with own sensors for independent evaluation, control and documentation of operational cycles
• ergonomic positioned control panel at eye level, away from thermally exposed zone
• technology of touch-screen display 8.2” ensures transparent and easy operating on the loading side
• on unloading side (in case of two door type) of the device the LED display with a possibility of monitoring of actual working phase and pressure in the sterilization chamber
• “emergency stop” function integrated into the control panel
• built-in printer for documentation of sterilization processes
• system of chip cards
• possibility of language selection for communication with the device
• transparent digital description of steam pressure in the jacket of sterilization chamber and in steam generator, pressure and temperature in sterilization chamber (reference bottle)
• clock – indicator of the remaining time of the program and the real time indicator
• history of protocols – optional memory SD card allows storing of up to tens of thousands protocols
• print of error protocol with the record of all parameters at the moment of defect for a possibility of fast and remote service
• visual and acoustic signalling of states and processes
• standard batch counter and another optional daily batch counter.

As a standard, the device is equipped with the “Preheating program” (134°C/1min)

Standard programs:

• Tools - quick 134°C/ 4 min, with following short drying, for unpacked tools for immediate consequent use
• Universal 134°C/ 7 min, with following short drying
• Universal containers 134°C/ 7 min, with intensive drying
• Packed glass, rubber and plastic products 121°C/ 20 min, with intensive drying

Standard testing programs for routine checks:

• Vacuum test - chamber air tightness test, settlement phase duration 5 min, test duration 10 min
• Bowie & Dick test 134 – steam penetration test, 134°C / 3.5 min

It is possible to arrange well-organized documentation of operation cycles by:

• independent documentation of operation cycles with recording with the possibility of saving recent protocols for the whole service life of the device
• connection to PC and by saving protocols in the computer memory using the “PrinterArchiv” software
• connection of the sterilizer to computer network (LAN) together with software application Ecosoft
• the electronic process documentation, data archiving and Audit Trail together meet FDA 21 CFR part 11 requirements
• by built-in printer
• possibility of batches export to PDF on the USB flash disc in the A4 format

The PLC automatics is equipped with extensive software for easy control, maintenance and testing (interactive schemes of tube connection, testing programs allowing testing of safety elements of the device, calibration settings, etc).

Together with classic supplies of instrumentation, we offer a complete spectrum of services connected with development of central and chart room sterilizations.

• consultancy and project processing, including logistics and capacity calculations
• instrumentation supply including individual information systems “on turnkey”

Service and support of users are fully arranged by a worldwide network of contractual organisations of the company BMT® Medical Technology s.r.o. We have an extensive network of brand service work sites connected to HOT-LINE service providing fast response to clients´ questions and requirements. So as to arrange user comfort and fast and high-quality service intervention we developed a special auto-diagnostic program. We offer internet diagnostics and monitoring of the sterilization device (RMS), providing fast and direct communication with the instrumentation and it arranges fluent and trouble-free operation of a work site. All these features guarantee low operation costs and long service life of the device.

The device meets all and any current environmental requirements. It represents no burden for the work and life environment. A powerful suction pump with built-in device for feeding water saving saves approximately 15% of operation costs. The unique construction of the steam generator with automatic desalting arranges permanently high quality of steam.

High quality materials guaranteeing long service life of the device are used for its manufacture. Optionally, the device can be equipped with an element for additional cooling of waste water, allowing its temperature setting. The device does not produce any harmful waste. Environment – friendly methods are used for its manufacture in the workshop. All the main parts of the device as well as the packages are recyclable.

The device consists of 95% of steel, 4% of other materials, 1% of electro material and plastics. Environment-friendly liquidation to be performed after dismantling by an authorised person in compliance with EU regulations, corresponding with the WEEE directive (Waste Electric and Electronic Equipment).
