Accessories:

Loading equipment for the 44-55 Compact Series is manufactured from high quality stainless steel material.

Rack & Shelves: Stainless steel electropolished trays equipped with rails for easy loading and unloading. The trays are sliding, extendable and removable.

Loading Cart & Transfer Carriage: The adjustable loading cart rolls from the transfer carriage onto the interior chamber tracks for easy handling of heavy loads. The transfer carriage is equipped with two swivel wheels, maximizing mobility in limited space. The transfer carriage is also equipped with wheel locks to stabilize the load, if needed.

Options:

Mounting: Can be recessed in one or two walls or as a free-standing unit with a stainless steel cabinet enclosure.
Air Removal: All Tuttnauer models come standard with the ability to run either gravity or pre-vacuum cycles. A water ejector or liquid ring vacuum pump, combined with steam pressure pulsing, evacuates air from the chamber. This improves your sterility assurance level and provides more effective drying.
Clean Steam Package: Includes stainless steel piping, fittings, and components.

Room Isolation Seals

To provide separation of dissimilar environments, the sterilizer can be fitted with the proper room isolation seal appropriately designed for the individual application.

Bio-Seal: Manufactured using a gasket material designed to prevent airborne contaminants from entering the clean areas of the facility.

Air Differential Seal: Manufactured using a gasket material designed to prevent the flow of air from one area to another.

Air Compressor: Where pressurized air is not available, Tuttnauer offers a small and quiet compressor that can be used to operate the pneumatic valves and/or power doors.

Reverse Osmosis Water Treatment System: Used when the local water supply exceeds the recommended “hardness” for steam generation. Designed to supply required feedwater to the steam generator. This system is wall mounted and includes an appropriately sized storage tank.

Descal-A-Matic: Used when the local water supply exceeds the recommended “hardness” for steam generation. No power source is required. The units are self-powered by a permanent magnetic core.

Tuttnauer Horizontal Steam Sterilizers are engineered with high quality, safety and flexibility.

Quality

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. The sterilizer pipes and fittings are constructed from stainless steel and brass.The pneumatically operated valves significantly reduce maintenance and downtime. The steam can be provided to the autoclave from the building’s central source, an electric steam generator (stainless steel or carbon steel), or a steam-to-steam generator. In addition, if no buttons or switches are operated for four hours, the autoclave will switch to standby mode.

Control Made Simple

An automated process control uses the Tuttnauer advanced microprocessor control system. Our Cat2007 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 autoclaves are provided with a dual built in, full display and enhanced control system on both sides of the autoclave.

The control system is programmed with a total of 12 cycles that range in temperature from 105°C -138°C:

• 4 programs for unwrapped instruments

• 4 programs for wrapped instruments and packs

• 3 slow pressure exhaust cycles

• 1 flash cycle

• 2 test programs: Bowie & Dick and Vacuum Test

Printer

For clear and concise documentation of the sterilization process, the control unit is provided with a built-in printer. This provides real-time cycle data including the pressure, temperature, change of phase, alarms and a summary at the end of the cycle.

Safety
Door Safety: The autoclave doors are designed with a number of independent mechanical and digital safety features. This guarantees that if a problem should occur, an autoclave failure will be prevented.

• A safety device prevents the operator from opening the door when chamber is pressurized

• Steam is not allowed into the chamber when the door or gasket is open

• A cycle cannot start if the door is open or not properly locked

• The door cannot unlock until chamber pressure reaches room pressure

• Sliding Doors 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.

• Built-in Steam Generator Safety: A water level monitoring system maintains a constant water level and ensures safe operation of the heaters

• 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
• Emergency shut-off: Easily accessible emergency switches for immediate cycle shut-off

Flexibility
Tuttnauer offers a wide range of models that are availble in three series: compact, mid-range and large capacity. The chamber sizes range from 120 to 1015 Liters. In addition, we accommodate for your special needs and design tailor made solutions and non standard chamber sizes. Each model is available in either single or double door configurations.

High Precision Documentation

Cycle documentation is crucial within the CSSD. A cycle that is not properly recorded is not considered done. The modularity and flexibility of our system gives you targeted and customized solutions to track and document the sterilization process.

Touch Screen

Our touch screen displays all cycle information in both a textual or graphical interface and provides a continuous visual guide. Moreover, it provides a visual display of all piping for monitoring purposes.

ADMC software
The user can remotely control and manage eight autoclaves using the ADMC software. You can retrieve data, create graphs, tables and print-outs.

Chart Recorder

The Chart Recorder gives clear analog/mechanical trend records and print-outs in color. It is simple to operate and has an easy view display.

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.

Barcode Reader

The barcode reader allows tracing the material flow in the CSSD by reading the containers’ barcode identification. The data is transferred to the ADMC and linked to the sterilization cycle parameters for streamlined instrument handling.
