Frequently asked questions
Is this upgrade compatible with T-Edge autoclaves?
Yes, this software upgrade is specifically designed to enhance the capability of your existing T-Edge unit. It is compatible with the following models:
- T-Edge 10 Autoclave
- T-Edge 11 Autoclave
This upgrade transforms the unit’s functionality from Class S to the superior Class B (Pre/Post Vacuum) sterilization standard, significantly increasing its versatility without requiring the purchase of a new machine.
How does the upgrade enhance sterilization performance?
The software upgrade converts your existing T-Edge 10 or T-Edge 11 autoclave from the Class S operational standard to the more stringent Class B (Pre/Post Vacuum) standard. This allows your equipment to meet the highest level of steam sterilization requirements.
This Class B functionality is essential for processing complex instruments or porous materials, incorporating comprehensive vacuum phases:
- Pre-Vacuum Phase: Efficiently removes air from the chamber prior to sterilization, ensuring steam can fully penetrate complex, wrapped, or porous loads.
- Post-Vacuum Phase: Ensures the load is thoroughly dried after the sterilization process is complete, significantly reducing the risk of contamination upon removal.
