The BRAVO 17V is a fractionated vacuum sterilizer that incorporates both pre-vac (to remove air) and post-vac (to help drying) cycles to ensure perfect steam penetration for any load. It can be used to sterilize both wrapped and unwrapped instruments quickly and efficiently.

The BRAVO can sterilize three full-size cassettes or up to 20 pouches at once. Its speed provides rapid cycles for all types of instrument loads. This vacuum sterilizer is ideal for dental clinics, laboratories, surgical centers, and any other settings requiring rapid, reliable, and efficient daily sterilization.

Features

SciCan BRAVO 17V Pre/Post Vacuum Sterilizer Features

  • The BRAVO is one of the fastest chamber autoclaves on the market, sterilizing and drying instruments in as little as 24 minutes.
  • Closed door drying and the Dri-Tec drying system work together to give you lightning fast and consistent dry loads every time, in turn allowing more loads to be processed daily.
  • Single use Pull'n Push water system.
  • Sterilization can be initiated by a single button. Once the BRAVO has been properly loaded, the user can choose from one of four pre-set cycles as defined by the user.
  • Patented door locking mechanism and steam generation system.
  • Single use water feature guarantees fresh water with every cycle. Fresh water reduces the build up of oils and debris.
  • Rear automatic filling option can pull water from a 10 liter remote bottle placed up to six feet away.
  • Direct-to-drain port facilitates automatic drainage eliminating the need to manually drain the reservoir.
  • Numerous sterilization cycles with a wide array of parameters. This allows the user to choose the appropriate cycle for the load, either wrapped or unwrapped.

Frequently asked questions

How fast are the BRAVO 17V cycles?

The SciCan BRAVO 17V is engineered for exceptionally fast cycle times, maximizing throughput with its fractionated pre/post vacuum and Dri-Tec closed-door drying system. Cycle times listed below include both sterilization and drying:

  • Fastest Cycle: 19 minutes for Solid/Unwrapped loads (134 °C, 4 min hold).
  • Solid/Wrapped loads: 24 minutes (134 °C, 4 min hold).
  • Hollow/Unwrapped loads: 27 minutes (134 °C, 4 min hold).
  • Porous/Wrapped loads: 35 minutes (134 °C, 4 min hold).
What is the capacity of the SciCan BRAVO 17V sterilizer?

The SciCan BRAVO 17V sterilizer features a substantial internal chamber volume of 4.5 gallons (17 L).This high capacity is designed for busy clinical environments, capable of holding significant loads, including:

  • Three full-size sterilization cassettes
  • Up to 20 pouches per cycle

This capacity, combined with the unit’s rapid cycle times, helps maximize daily instrument throughput.

How many sterilization programs are available?

The SciCan BRAVO 17V provides extensive flexibility for sterilizing different instrument types. The system offers:

  • 10 total sterilization programs available.
  • 4 user-defined presets that allow for quick, single-button initiation of your most frequently used cycles.

These programs accommodate all critical instrument loads, including porous, hollow, and solid materials, whether wrapped or unwrapped, maximizing efficiency in high-volume settings.

Does the Bravo 17V sterilizer guarantee effective drying?

Yes, the SciCan BRAVO 17V ensures consistently dry loads through its Fast Drying Technology combined with a full pre/post vacuum system. It is specifically designed for rapid and reliable results in high-volume settings.

Key features of the drying process include:

  • Dri-Tec Drying System: This specialized technology is used to achieve consistent dryness.
  • Post-Vacuum Cycle: A vacuum cycle is run after sterilization to effectively draw out remaining moisture.
  • Closed-Door Drying: The drying process is completed entirely with the door sealed, maximizing efficiency and speed.
What are the power requirements for the SciCan BRAVO 17V?

The SciCan BRAVO 17V requires a power supply of 120 V, 20 A.

Does the sterilizer have simplified operation?

Yes, the SciCan BRAVO 17V is engineered for user-friendly operation in high-volume settings. Key features that simplify the workflow include: * Single-Button Initiation: Once instruments are loaded, cycles can be started with a single button press. * Customizable Presets: The unit offers 10 total sterilization programs, including 4 user-defined presets, allowing for quick and reliable access to your most common cycle settings.

What components are included with the sterilizer?

As a Certified Refurbished unit, the SciCan BRAVO 17V undergoes extensive servicing, including calibration and a full system flush, to ensure optimal performance.

The purchase includes the following components:

  • Power cable
  • New PM Kit (Preventative Maintenance): This kit, which includes a new gasket and filters, is installed by the technician prior to shipment to ensure the unit is ready for immediate use.
What are the benefits of the dual vacuum system?

The SciCan BRAVO 17V utilizes a high-performance fractionated pre/post vacuum system to ensure maximum efficiency and validated sterilization results. This system breaks down into two main functions:

  • Pre-Vacuum Cycle (Guaranteed Penetration): This process actively removes all air from the chamber and load before sterilization begins. This is critical for ensuring that steam can perfectly penetrate all surfaces, including wrapped instruments and hollow instruments.
  • Post-Vacuum Cycle (Rapid Drying): Following the sterilization phase, the post-vacuum cycle assists in the drying process. Working in conjunction with the Dri-Tec drying system and closed-door drying, it ensures consistently dry loads in lightning-fast cycle times, maximizing instrument turnaround.
Is the SciCan BRAVO 17V suitable for sterilizing handpieces?

Yes, the SciCan BRAVO 17V is suitable for sterilizing handpieces. It has specific cycles for both porous (handpieces) / wrapped and hollow (handpieces) / unwrapped instruments, with cycle times of 35 minutes and 27 minutes respectively.

Does the sterilizer use fresh water every cycle?

The SciCan BRAVO 17V utilizes a single-use water system to ensure fresh water for every cycle. This design helps in reducing mineral buildup and maintaining optimal performance over time.
