Portaclave®™ Autoclaves

General Technical Specification

The VARIO is heated by a single internal element. This is available for use with 230V or 110V electrical supplies. Please indicate the required voltage when ordering. The temperature is controlled by the VARIO time and temperature control and PT100 probe. The VARIO 1528 is fitted with an automatic cut-out to prevent it boiling dry. Every autoclave is electrically tested in compliance with BS3456 Part 101 1987.

The VARIO time and temperature control features four preset and one variable cycle. The variable cycle is stored in permanent memory so that it can be instantly recalled for the next use. The control shows a countdown of sterilisation time and current temperature at all times. Operation is very simple. The cycle temperature and time are selected by pressing either one of the four preset cycle buttons or the variable cycle button. If the variable cycle is chosen the temperature and time are then set to the values required. The Start button is then pressed and the unit automatically runs through the sterilisation cycle unattended. At the end of sterilisation an audible sound is given to allow the user to drain off the water, if the drying vacuum cycle is required. The unit then cools until it reaches a safe temperature for the contents to be removed, at which point another audible sound is given.

The VARIO is made from stainless steel with a polished exterior for easier cleaning. The lid is removable for full width access. Items to be sterilised can be placed in the inner liner provided with the machine. Alternately, Dressing Drums and Wire Mesh Baskets are available. The lid locking device is comprised of six wing nuts and six locking lugs. This ensures that the lid cannot be opened while the vessel is under pressure. After the sterilising period, a condensing vacuum is drawn to aid drying. This is particularly useful for dressings and drapes.

The VARIO is particularly suitable for destructive sterilisation. The operator is not restricted to a set sterilising period. This can be adjusted to suit the application.

The VARIO comes complete with: 

• Inner Liner with Handles
• Easy to follow Users Manual
• Manufacturers Safety Test Certificate
• Manufacturers One Year Guarantee (this does not affect your statutory rights)

Certoclav EL vertical portable aluminium autoclaves are economical valve-controlled units for routine sterilisation tasks. They feature robust construction, two selectable temperature levels and simple operation.

• Aluminium pressure vessel (3103 alloy)
• Chamber volumes 12 or 18 L
• Two temperature ranges per version (115/121 °C or 125/140 °C)
• Precision thermometer and manometer with drag pointer
• Integrated heating plate and thermostat control

The economical end-to-end solution

For more than 60 years, the CertoClav EL has been our tried and tested economic autoclave end-to-end solution with valve control. A precision thermometer, a control valve, and a precision manometer with drag indicator provide precise processes and accurate results for all applications. 

This model is available in two versions, each with two temperature levels. You can choose between 125/140 °C and 115/121 °C. These temperature settings are the controlled via the control valve on the lid. These valves are not interchangeable, because the thermostat of the device is harmonized and calibrated with the respective valve!

• robust construction
• 2 temperature levels
• simple operation
• high heating capacity
• venting by flow procedure
• precision thermometer
• precision manometer with drag pointer
