Posted by Joey Leffel on Apr 21st 2023

The environmentally-friendly steam sterilizer is designed for central sterile processing departments and surgery centers.

Indications for use: The PRIMUS Healthcare Sterilizer PSS11-HC is designed for use in surgery, central sterile, and surgery centers. Provides efficient steam sterilization of non-porous, heat, and moisture-stable materials.

The PRIMUS PSS11-HC Healthcare Sterilizer also offers high-performance, high-capacity steam sterilization for various instrument sets and medical devices up to 25 pounds each.

PRIMUS’s stainless steel, fully jacketed 316L chamber design (featuring PRIMUS’s brilliant PRI-Mirror™
chamber finish) ensures even heat and pressure distribution, which eliminates condensation during
each sterilization cycle.

Furthermore, this Healthcare Steam Sterilizer is configured with pre-vacuum, gravity, liquid, and a Steam Flush Pressure Pulse (SFPP) testing cycle managed by the unit’s onboard operator-interface control panel.

Lift-Off Cabinet Panels allow convenient access to sterilizer piping and control system.
Software Calibration is provided for all temperature and pressure inputs.
Cycle Data Records are recorded on the printer tape and saved to an SD card (provided).
Automatic Steam Shutoff to Jacket provided for liquid cycles for efficient exhaust and cooling.
Insulated with one-inch thick, asbestos-free, and chloride-free fiberglass, sealed in an aluminum
outer cover.
Stainless Steel Piping to Chamber components is constructed of 300 series stainless steel.

PRI-SAVER Option

Optional vacuum source that saves water and energy

Why should you add the PRI-SAVER™ option?

HOW DOES THE PRI-Saver SAVE WATER?

Because the system decreases water consumption by up to 97% compared to a water ejector vacuum system.

HOW DOES PRI-Saver SAVE ENERGY?

Operates on only 110 volts.
Built into the sterilizer - doesn’t take up space in the service area.
Notably reduces condensation inside the chamber.
Reduces ambient noise compared to vacuum pump.
Minimizes cycle times.
Solves low inlet pressure, significantly improving the sterilizer’s performance.
Optional vacuum source that saves water and energy.
