Products to Watch: Tuttnauer USA

Tuttnauer EZPlus series fully automatic sterilizers are designed to meet the most current sterilization standards ANSI/AAMI ST55. The EZGlide self-locking door is ergonomically friendly and can be opened and closed effortlessly. The EZView display screen is full color and easy to read, even from a distance. When a cycle is not running, by keeping the door open, the operator can use the EZPad and scroll through to select a program and review all program parameters. When a cycle is running, EZView not only shows the actual temperature and pressure in the chamber, but also each stage of the cycle. As the color wheel moves, the colors change for each stage of the cycle.

As a convenience for the operator, the EZFill water reservoir can be filled with distilled water from the top of the unit, as well as through the front fill funnel located inside the door. The EZ11Plus model features an 11-inch chamber and includes five large trays. For those offices using cassettes, it can accommodate four full-size cassettes and four half-size cassettes. The EZ9Plus model features a 9-inch chamber and three large trays. For those offices using cassettes, it can accommodate two full-size and two half-size cassettes.

All models feature the dynamic air removal technology and an active closed-door HEPA filtered air-drying system to maintain sterility and ensure efficient drying of packs and pouches. This ensures that the door remains closed throughout the dry cycle, encouraging the staff to leave the pouches/packs in the unit until all items are completely dry. This very important feature helps ensure the safety of patients, staff and doctors.

The EZPlus sterilizers come standard with a USB port to transfer cycle data, a network port to connect a local network and provide remote monitoring of the system and an optional printer.
Tuttnauer is the only manufacturer to offer a two-year warranty on parts and labor and an additional 10-year warranty on the chamber for all of its fully automatic autoclaves. The company’s single focus on sterilization and infection control enables it to offer products to help practitioners meet today’s challenging workloads and regulatory requirements.
