Priorclave has sent a further batch of 12 autoclaves, from its manufacturing facility in SE London, to hospitals and healthcare centres throughout Zambia.
Delivered one month ahead of schedule, these autoclaves represent the final phased shipment to complete a major order placed with Priorclave earlier this year.
The order called for a total of 72 top-loading, 150-litre-capacity steam sterilisers with high-output/low-power steam generators built-in.
Priorclave supplied its EV150 model, with a larger-than-average chamber size in a compact autoclave design, which has an integral forced air-cooling system to enable fast cycle times.
Priorclave also re-engineered the format of the steam generators to give the required output from the single-phase supply that would be available on site.
All models supplied for this African contract awarded by Eagle Scientific incorporate Tactrol Zero, a facility enabling Priorclave's UK Service Centre to provide immediate response to operation status and queries from around the world.
All autoclaves also carry the Biocote 'flag', a symbol that denotes a microbial finish in the form of an anti-bacterial that is effective against all bacteria and fungi, including MRSA.
