Professional Autoclave Cleaning (Preventative Maintenance)

Valley Microscope strongly recommends a professional cleaning overhaul on autoclave (sterilizer) equipment if the chamber contains build-up of rust, greenish or black residue that could result in premature failure of components or damage to delicate surgical instruments , and reservoir is dirty or built up with foreign matter that can clog up your tubes therefore reducing the life of your sterilizer. Processing sterile goods under these conditions can be at the least distasteful, but more importantly, can be less efficient than processing in a clean chamber. The heat radiation processes need clean, uniform surfaces to insure a fully effective drying cycle. Our preventative maintenance cleaning service will help reduce the frequency of equipment malfunction and the risk of accidental contamination of sterile items. Preventative maintenance includes cleaning chamber, reservoir, tray holder, and trays with a solution that is super effective and safe in dissolving the crud & removing the nasty residue from the stainless steel components. Furthermore, we clean reservoir and the plumbing tubes channeling into it by using another solution that will flush out the build up of gunk or other foreign matter. This cleaning solution is ran through a few sterilization cycles through the plumbing system to insure harmful deposits in the valves and tubes are removed, then we drain the solution and flush out the tubes with distilled water. We also test the temperature and timer to make sure they're operating at peak performance.

Before we can perform a cleaning on a sterilizer we need to know the make, model #, and serial number of your autoclave, and if you're having any other issues with it so that we can obtain correct parts necessary to restore your autoclave in good working order. As the autoclave is being cleaned we inspect valves, filters, gaskets, and electronic components to insure reliable service. This scheduled cleaning and inspection will prolong the dependable life of your autoclave. Contact us today for a free price quote!
