"The wide-chambered, high-capacity roll-in sterilizer. A popular choice for life science installations"

Horizontal sliding door, 900x1400mm section, Single & double ended

The Series 5 sterilizers are the second in our range of large roll-in sterilizers. The roll-in design eliminates the need for transferring loads between trolleys and helps reduce the time taken to process large volumes of work. With a wider aperture and available in single and double ended versions boasting capacties of up to 2730 litres the Series 5 is a popular choice for the life sciences sector and is available in Porous Load and Laboratory models.

Porous Loads
Series 5 Sterilizers are popularly configured for healthcare porous load applications with full compliance to EN 285 and HTM2010. The porous load cycle is designed to achieve rapid and even penetration of steam in the load to produce an efficient repeatable sterilizing process. The cycle is intended to process wrapped intstruments / utensils, air entrained materials such as linens, gowns, dressings and medical / surgical equipment.

Standard Compliant
As with all BMM Weston sterilizers, Series 5's are designed and built by the company in the UK to the most stringent requirements. We operate to ISO9001:2000 plus GAMP and our machines comply with all relevant European and British product standards and NHS guidelines including C14, BS3970, and PD5500.

Optional Effluent Containment System
The laboratory models of the Series 5 are also available with an optional Effluent Containment System suitable for processing category 3 applications. This option ensures effluent is retained until sterilization is compete. Steam from the chamber is passed through a 0.2 micron microbiological filter prior to being discharged. This filter is also sterilized during the cycle.

Configurable Cycles
Cycles can be configured from a series of discrete cycle stages. Each stage performs a seperate function and parameters controlling the function are variable within pre-defined limits. Similarly the user can ascribe warnings and fault conditions to parameters if they exceed specified limits.
Shown below is a graph displaying the stages used in construction of a typical fabric load cycle followed by descriptions of other available cycles.

Typical Cycle

• Fabrics - porous materials
  Air removal and positive pulsing with optional air detection. Sterilization at 134°C for a minimum 3 minutes. Deep vacuum to dry load.
• Glassware - empty glassware and hollow ware
  Air removal by negative pulsing Sterilization at 134°C for a minimum of 3 minutes. Deep vacuum to dry load.
• Discard 1 - plastic discard and fluids up to 100ml
  Air removal by negative pulsing. Steam admission and equilibration to 134°C. Sterilization at 134°C for a minimum 3 minutes. Rapid cooling to safe release temperature.
• Discard 2 - discard fluids above 100ml
  Air removal by pre-vacuum. Steam admission and equilibration to 121°C. Sterilization at 121°C for a minimum 15 minutes. Rapid cooling with air ballasting to safe release temperature.
• Fluid - media and sealed or unsealed fluids
  Air removal by pre-vacuum. Steam admission, equilibration and sterilization to set temperature and time. Rapid cooling with arie ballasting to safe release temperature.
• Free Steaming - culture media
  Air removal be pre-vacuum. Steam admission, equlibration and sterilization to 102 - 104°C and set time. Rapid cooling to safe release temperature.
• Leak Rate Test - to check integrity of sterilizer chamber
  Alternative cycles can be confirgured to suit customer requirements. Up to 30 different cycles can be supported by standard software.
