Astell ASB 270 Autoclave – Steriliser
Short intro: The Astell ASB 270 autoclave steriliser is a hospital-grade steam sterilizer built for consistent results, clear traceability, and dependable throughput. With pre-set, validated programs and an intuitive control interface, it supports busy CSSD, day-surgery, and clinic environments that need reliable turnarounds and documented quality.
Why choose the Astell ASB 270 autoclave steriliser
The Astell ASB 270 autoclave steriliser combines robust chamber construction with precise microprocessor control to maintain temperature, pressure, and exposure time within tight tolerances. Pre-vacuum and post-vacuum phases (where configured) remove residual air and promote deep steam penetration in wrapped and porous loads. Technicians select cycles quickly via a clear touchscreen/HMI, with live status and alarm messaging to keep workflows moving. Cycle records—print, USB, or network export depending on configuration—simplify audits and align with modern sterile-processing documentation. Thoughtful service access and commonly available consumables help reduce downtime and protect lifetime cost of ownership.
Key features & workflow
-
Validated steam cycles: Standard 121 °C and 134 °C programs for instruments, textiles, and porous goods; daily test cycles (e.g., Bowie-Dick/leak) as required by your QA.
-
Performance & throughput: Efficient steam generation and vacuum systems shorten heat-up and drying, helping departments meet peak demand.
-
Traceability: Batch IDs, user access levels, and downloadable logs support accreditation and inspection readiness.
-
Safety & compliance: Door interlocks, over-temperature/over-pressure protection, automatic pressure release, and clear alarm signaling.
-
Ergonomics: Logical loading with compatible racks/trays; single- or pass-through (model dependent) layouts to separate clean/dirty sides.
-
Serviceability: Front access to filters and utilities; preventive-maintenance schedules and spare kits (gaskets, strainers) for predictable upkeep.
(Exact options may vary by unit—confirm against the official datasheet.)
Applications
-
Central Sterile Services (CSSD): routine reprocessing of general and specialty instrument sets.
-
Day surgery & procedure rooms: reliable turnaround in multi-theatre sites with space-aware footprints.
-
Clinics & dental networks: standardized programs and records to simplify compliance across locations.
-
Research/vivarium support: sterilization of cages, textiles, and labware per facility SOPs.
What’s included
Typical supply comprises the steriliser body and chamber, integrated vacuum/steam assemblies (per configuration), control interface with data output (printer/USB/Ethernet where fitted), and a starter set of racks/trays. Optional loading trolleys, instrument baskets, water-treatment kits, and external printers/loggers can be added to suit your sets and QA requirements. Every unit can be professionally inspected, cleaned, and function-tested prior to delivery.
Installation & site planning
We can assist with room layout, utilities, and commissioning. Most installations require steam (central feed or electric generator), treated water, drainage, power, and appropriate ventilation. Our team coordinates validation runs and operator training so your department hits throughput targets from day one. Preventive maintenance and remote-support plans are available to sustain performance and documentation over the device lifetime.
Best-practice tips
Standardize set sizes and wrapping to optimize chamber loading; separate metal and textile loads for consistent drying; document physical/chemical indicators per batch; schedule daily Bowie-Dick and leak tests according to your QA plan. These practices, paired with the Astell ASB 270 autoclave steriliser, keep inspections smooth and minimize downtime.
