Flight Clave16+ Class S Dental Autoclave
16L Chamber. Built-In Printer. Compliance Documentation Handled Automatically.
The Flight Clave16+ is a fully automatic Class S steam sterilizer built for dental, medical, and veterinary practices that need dependable, well-documented sterilization in a compact tabletop footprint. With a 16-liter chamber, integrated compressor, and steam injection pressure-pulsing technology, the Clave16+ delivers consistent sterilization performance with flexible cycle options to suit a wide range of instruments.
Class S sterilizers like the Clave16+ combine steam pulsing with pressure displacement technology for more thorough air removal than a basic Class N unit, while remaining a more accessible option than a full Class B system for practices that don't routinely process wrapped porous loads.
Key Features
- 16-liter chamber (9″ x 14.2″): Ample interior space for daily clinical instrument processing, with 3 standard trays.
- Steam injection pressure-pulsing technology: An independent steam generator drives more thorough air removal before each cycle for improved sterilization effectiveness and speed.
- 5 programmed sterilization cycles: Solid/Unwrapped, Wrapped, Liquid, Textile, and Prion cycles cover a wide range of daily clinical needs.
- Fast cycle times: Solid/unwrapped loads sterilize in about 4 minutes (approximately 44 minutes total including drying); wrapped loads in about 10 minutes (approximately 55 minutes total including drying).
- Integrated compressor for air-assisted drying: Speeds drying performance and reduces residual moisture, so instruments come out ready to store.
- Built-in thermal printer and USB data logging: Every cycle is automatically documented for compliance recordkeeping — no separate printer or software required.
- Accessible water reservoir with level sensor: Easy to fill, with enough capacity to run 5–6 cycles between refills.
- Compact tabletop design: Fits easily into sterilization bays and operatories without a large footprint.
- Solid, stress-tested construction: Built for reliable everyday clinical use.
Clinical & Workflow Advantages
- Compact footprint with a 16L chamber that still handles a broad range of dental, medical, and grooming instruments
- Automatic printer and USB logging remove the need for manual compliance recordkeeping
- 5-cycle program library covers solid, wrapped, liquid, textile, and prion protocols in one unit
- Integrated compressor means faster turnaround between cycles
Why Choose the Flight Clave16+
The Clave16+ delivers Class S sterilization — validated for solid instruments and specific hollow loads — with the documentation and reliability practices expect from a premium autoclave, in a compact, budget-conscious package. Flight Dental Systems positions the Clave16+ as offering a chamber comparable to leading tabletop sterilizers while still delivering a built-in printer, USB logging, and 2-year warranty support standard. For practices that sterilize primarily solid instruments and select hollow loads rather than routinely processing wrapped porous items, the Clave16+ offers dependable, well-documented sterilization without paying for Class B capability you may not need.

Flight Clave16 Frequently Asked Questions
What does Class S sterilization mean?
Class S autoclaves are designed to sterilize specific instrument types validated by the manufacturer — typically solid instruments and certain hollow items — combining features of Class N and Class B sterilizers, but not all wrapped or porous loads like a full Class B unit.
Who should use a 16L Class S autoclave?
General dental, veterinary, and medical practices, hygiene and restorative dentistry, and clinics seeking dependable sterilization with a compact footprint at a lower cost than a full Class B system.
How fast are the Clave16+'s sterilization cycles?
Solid/unwrapped loads sterilize in about 4 minutes (approximately 44 minutes total including drying). Wrapped loads take about 10 minutes to sterilize (approximately 55 minutes total including drying). Liquid, textile, and rubber loads take about 10 minutes to sterilize, with a total cycle of approximately 60 minutes including drying.
Does the Clave16+ include drying?
Yes. The Clave16+ features an integrated compressor for air-assisted drying, reducing residual moisture and speeding turnaround between cycles.
How are sterilization cycles documented?
Every cycle is automatically recorded using the built-in thermal printer and can also be saved digitally via USB data logging.
How many trays does the Clave16+ hold?
The Clave16+ ships standard with 3 trays.
How often do I need to refill the water reservoir?
The water reservoir holds enough for approximately 5–6 cycles and includes a level sensor for easy monitoring.
What's the difference between the Clave16+ and Flight's Class B autoclaves?
Class S units like the Clave16+ are validated for solid instruments and specific hollow loads at a lower cost than a full Class B system. Flight's Class B autoclaves (such as the Flight Clave B) add full vacuum-cycle capability for wrapped, porous, and more complex instrument loads.
Does the Clave16+ come with a warranty?
Yes. The Clave16+ includes a 2-year manufacturer's warranty.
