Model:AMB220D Ecofill Dry Benchtop Autoclave (33 litres)
Model:AMB230D Ecofill Dry Benchtop Autoclave (43 litres)
Model:AMB240D Ecofill Dry Benchtop Autoclave (63 litres)
The Ecofill Dry Benchtop Autoclave Series is designed to sterilize and dry wrapped items commonly used in healthcare, such as wrapped surgical packs, autoclavable peel packs, and sterilization pouches. Larger than most Class B autoclaves, it provides a bigger sterilization space for processing more items simultaneously or for large wrapped instruments that don’t fit in a standard Class B autoclave.
Astell’s Ecofill system ensures water is only in the sterilization chamber when required and stored in the Ecofill reservoir when not needed, creating a drier chamber environment upon cycle completion. The Ecofill Dry represents the next evolution of the Ecofill system.
However, evolution necessitates change. The Ecofill Dry has lost the Containment Level 3/Biosafety Level 3 compatibility found in the Classic AMB, and unlike both the Classic and the Ecofill is not recommended for liquids or fluids. Yet these loses bring a benefit unique to the Astell Benchtop range – drying. The process accomplished by circulating hot filtered air around the autoclave chamber after the sterilization stage is complete and water returned to the Ecofill reservoir. View a comparison of the Classic, Ecofill, and Ecofill Dry here.
Each AMB Ecofill Dry includes a shelf rack, a pouch rack, and two wire shelves for optimized positioning of sterilization pouches, peel packs, and wrapped surgical items. This ensures peak drying effectiveness even at maximum load capacity, thereby maximizing energy efficiency.
Ecofill further enhances energy efficiency by storing heat in the water returned to the reservoir after cycles, and running cycles back-to-back maximizes energy savings. The system is also time and labour-saving compared to the Classic AMB, reducing the need for water refills.
As an AMB tabletop autoclave, the Ecofill Dry Benchtop Autoclave is part of the Plug and Play range. It requires only a desktop space near a domestic plug socket for installation, with no plumbing needed.
Like all Astell autoclaves, the Ecofill Dry Benchtop autoclaves are equipped with an advanced touchscreen control computer, an intuitive user interface, customizable cycles, and extensive capacity to store cycle data.
Compliant with BS EN 13060:2014; ISO 9001:2015; PED 2014/68/EU; and ANSI/AAMI ST55:2010 standards.
