The Getinge GSS610N21 Series Steam Sterilizer is intended for use by health care facilities to sterilize wrapped and unwrapped porous and nonporous heat and moisture stable items such as surgical instruments and linens by means of pressurized steam.
The steam sterilizer is used by health care facilities to sterilize wrapped and unwrapped porous and nonporous heat and moisture stable items such as surgical instruments and linens by means of pressurized steam. The Getinge GSS610N21 Series Steam Sterilizer employs both gravity/downward displacement with positive pulse conditioning and pressure/vacuum pulsing for dynamic air removal. All cycle phases are sequenced and monitored by the control system, providing both audible and visual notification of deviation from certain operating parameters.
