Vakulab PL

The all-in-one steam sterilizer from MMM.

The Vakulab® PL H and G is ideally suited for sterilizing solid and porous materials, liquids in open or loosely sealed containers as well as for sterilizing infectious waste and liquids in closed containers using the steam/air mixture process.

The sterilizer complies with the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) 2014/68/EU and the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. CE marking according to PED 2014/68/EU. The standards applied are: DIN 58951-2 Steam sterilizers for laboratory use, AD 2000 Design of Pressure Vessels and DIN EN 62304 Medical device software. Sterilization pressure vessel, double-walled, internal walls and steam jacket made from stainless steel, material no. of the internal walls: 1.4404 (AISI 316 L)/jacket: 1.4571 (AISI 316 Ti). Piping system: Design as per DIN EN 285, steam-conducting pipes and fittings made from stainless steel; all pipes color-coded and thermally insulated. Software validation according to DIN EN 62304, electrical equipment for measurement and control according to DIN EN 285.
