Equipment Description

Matachana Steriliser

The Matachana steriliser is a hospital-grade pre-vacuum steam autoclave engineered for consistent sterilization quality and rapid instrument turnaround. Built for CSSD and high-demand theatres, it combines precise microprocessor control, validated cycles, and comprehensive documentation to keep sterile processing compliant, auditable, and efficient.

Why choose the Matachana steriliser

The Matachana steriliser delivers deep steam penetration through programmed pre-vacuum and post-vacuum phases, ensuring air removal from wrapped and porous loads. Temperature and pressure are regulated in real time to maintain setpoints, while integrated leak, Bowie-Dick, and Helix/PCD tests (where configured) support daily QA. The chamber, piping, and valves are designed for thermal stability and longevity; gasket materials and door mechanics withstand heavy usage across shifts. With a clear touchscreen HMI, technicians select cycles quickly and see live status, alarms, and remaining time—reducing bottlenecks and training effort in busy departments.

Key features & workflow

• Validated steam cycles: 121 °C and 134 °C programs for instruments, textiles, and porous loads; optional prion/delicate and fast-cycle modes depending on model.

• Performance & throughput: Efficient steam generation and vacuum pumps shorten heat-up and drying, helping CSSD meet peaks without quality compromise.

• Traceability: Batch records via on-board printer, USB or Ethernet export; user logins and cycle counters for audit trails and service planning.

• Safety & compliance: Door interlocks, over-temperature/over-pressure protection, automatic pressure release, and standards-aligned monitoring.

• Ergonomics: Single- or double-door (pass-through) layouts to separate dirty/clean sides; racks, trolleys, and load cars for smooth logistics.

• Serviceability: Front access to filters and utilities; clear preventive-maintenance schedules and spare kits (gaskets, strainers) to protect uptime.

Applications

• Central Sterile Services (CSSD): routine reprocessing of general and specialty instrument sets.

• Day surgery & procedure rooms: reliable turnaround with compact footprints in multi-theatre sites.

• Dental/clinic networks: standardized cycles and records across locations to simplify compliance.

• Research/vivarium support: sterilization of cages, textiles, and porous goods per facility SOPs.

What’s included

Typical supply comprises the steriliser chamber with door(s), integrated vacuum/steam assemblies, touchscreen controller, and data output (printer/USB/Ethernet per configuration). Accessories—loading trolleys, basket/tray sets, and water treatment—can be tailored to your sets and washers. We can also provide Bowie-Dick and Helix indicators, loggers, and spare gasket kits to complete the startup package.

Installation & site planning

Our team supports room layout, utilities, and commissioning. Most installations require steam (central or electric generator), treated water, drainage, and appropriate ventilation. We coordinate validation runs and operator training so your department hits throughput targets from day one. Preventive maintenance and remote support plans help sustain performance across the device lifetime.

Best-practice tips

Standardize set sizes and wrapping to optimize chamber loading; separate metal and textile loads for consistent drying; record physical/chemical indicators with each batch; and schedule leak/Bowie-Dick tests as part of daily QA. These steps, combined with the Matachana steriliser’s automation and records, keep inspections smooth and downtime low.
