The Steelco VS Series Steam Sterilizers are designed for sterilization of heat and moisture-stable materials used in healthcare facilities and are equipped with twelve factory-programmed cycles, provided on the following page. At no time will there be patient contact with the subject device.

The Steelco VS Series Steam Sterilizers use saturated steam, generated from a house steam utility (e.g. boiler system) or from a steam generator, to sterilize heat-stable health care products. The sterilizer accomplishes this by removing the air in the chamber, exposing the load to saturated steam for a defined combination of time and temperature, and drying the load. Removal of air from the chamber occurs using either of two methods, gravity displacement or mechanical vacuum. Once the air removal phase is completed, the sterilizer progresses to the steam exposure phase. During the steam exposure phase, every surface of the load is exposed to saturated steam for a defined combination of time and temperature. Once the steam exposure phase is completed, steam is removed from the chamber and the load is dried using the latent heat in the load and the vacuum pump.
