Description

Class B Vacuum Sterilization for Hollow Handpieces, Pouches and Textiles

The Flight Clave B is a 23-litre Class B tabletop steam sterilizer built around a pre/post vacuum system that dynamically removes air from the chamber before and after every cycle. Removing cold air ahead of sterilization lets steam penetrate the full load rather than stalling at the surface, and drawing vacuum again at the end pulls residual steam out so pouches and packs come out dry. That combination is what separates a Class B cycle from a gravity or pressure-displacement one, and it is why a Class B is the sterilizer specified for hollow instruments such as handpiece heads and air/water tips.

Key Features and Benefits

  • Class B pre/post vacuum system for dynamic air removal before and after sterilization
  • 23 L chamber, 4 trays supplied and a maximum capacity of 5
  • Five preset cycles: Unwrapped, Wrapped, Plastic, Textile and Prion
  • Three test cycles included: Bowie and Dick, Vacuum Test and Helix Test
  • Independent steam generator for consistent cycle-to-cycle steam delivery
  • Built-in printer and datalogger for cycle records
  • Double door protection with motorised locking, so the door cannot open under pressure
  • Thermal and pressure sensors with coded error reporting on the LCD panel

Clinical and Workflow Advantages

  • Validated for the load types a general practice actually runs: pouched instruments, cassettes, textiles, plastics and hollow items including tips and handpieces.
  • The Helix and Bowie and Dick test cycles are built in, so routine cycle verification does not need separate equipment.
  • Unwrapped instruments sterilize in 4 minutes at 134°C with a 15 to 35 minute total including drying, so a busy operatory can turn a set around between patients.
  • Post-vacuum drying means wrapped packs come out dry rather than damp, which protects the barrier integrity of the pouch.

Why Choose This Sterilizer

A Class S sterilizer handles most of what a practice processes and does it fast. Class B is the specification you want when the load includes hollow instruments, wrapped cassettes and textiles as routine rather than occasional work. The Clave B gives you that validation in a 23 L tabletop footprint with the printer and datalogger built in rather than added on, and it shares the independent steam generator and chamber construction of the wider Flight Clave line.

FAQs

Flight Clave B Class B Dental Autoclave 23L With Pre/Post Vacuum Air Removal

Q: What is the difference between a Class B and a Class S sterilizer?

A: A Class B cycle uses a fractionated pre-vacuum to pull air out of the chamber before steam enters, then a post-vacuum to dry the load. That allows it to sterilize hollow, porous and wrapped items reliably. A Class S sterilizer such as the Flight Clave8+ or Clave23+ uses pressure displacement instead and is validated for a narrower set of load types. If you routinely process handpieces, wrapped cassettes or textiles, Class B is the specification to buy.

Q: Can the Clave B sterilize handpieces?

A: Yes. Hollow items including handpieces and air/water tips are among the load types a Class B cycle is designed for. Always follow the handpiece manufacturer's own instructions for use, since some handpieces have their own temperature or lubrication requirements.

Q: What electrical supply does the Clave B need?

A: 220 to 240 volts at 50/60 Hz, drawing 10 amps and 2200 watts. This is not a standard 120 volt operatory circuit. Have a qualified electrician install a dedicated circuit before your delivery date.

Q: How many trays does it hold?

A: Four trays are supplied and the chamber accepts a maximum of five.

Q: How long is a typical cycle?

A: An unwrapped cycle runs 4 minutes at 134°C, with a total of 15 to 35 minutes including drying. A wrapped cycle is 4 minutes at 134°C with a total of 30 to 50 minutes. Prion and textile cycles run longer.

Q: Does it keep records for compliance?

A: Yes. A printer and datalogger are built in, so each cycle produces a physical record without an add-on module.

Q: Are the Bowie and Dick and Helix tests included?

A: Yes. Three test cycles are built into the software: Bowie and Dick, Vacuum Test and Helix Test.

Q: What maintenance does it need?

A: Clean the door seal and external surface daily, the water reservoir and chamber weekly, and the chamber and tank filters monthly. The door seal is replaced every three to six months, and silicone tubing, filters and the seal annually. The full schedule is in the manufacturer documentation supplied with the unit.

Q: What water does it use?

A: Distilled water, filled into the integrated reservoir. A water level sensor warns before the reservoir runs low.

Q: How does it compare to a Midmark M11 or a SciCan Statim?

A: The Midmark M11 is a gravity displacement sterilizer with a larger chamber than a Statim but without a vacuum phase. The Statim cassette autoclaves are fast but small. The Clave B sits differently again: full Class B vacuum validation at 23 L, with the printer built in. Which is right depends on your load mix and how much wrapped and hollow work you run.
