AMSCO 600 Steam Sterilizer, V-PRO maX 2 Low Temperature Sterilization System, V-PRO s2 Low Temperature Sterilization System, V-PRO 60 Low Temperature Sterilization System, RAS 12 Rack, RAS 12 Long Rack, RAS Cycle of the AMSCO 7052HP and 7053HP Single Chamber Washer Disinfector

The AMSCO 600 Steam Sterilizers are designed for sterilization of heat and moisture-stable materials used in healthcare facilities and are equipped with the following factory-programmed cycles (Table 1):

The Automated Load and Unload System (ALUS) provides semi-automated loading and unloading from an AMSCO 600 steam sterilizer when a cycle is complete. Alternatively, the ALUS may also be used to provide automatic unloading only in combination with manual loading. The ALUS can start a cycle automatically when equipped with the optional bar code reader.

The V-PRO maX 2 Low Temperature Sterilization System using VAPROX HC Sterilant is intended for use in the terminal sterilization of properly prepared (cleaned, rinsed and dried) medical devices in Healthcare Facilities. The preprogrammed sterilization cycles operate at low pressure and temperature, suitable for processing medical devices without leaving toxic residues.

Each Cycle can sterilize non-lumened instruments with diffusion-restricted spaces such as the hinged portion of forceps and scissors. Only stainless steel or titanium diffusion-restricted spaces should be processed in the Non Lumen Cycle and the Fast Non Lumen Cycle.
