The Cost of an Aging Sterilizer

An outdated sterilizer is more than an inconvenience. Older units often suffer from:

• Increased downtime due to frequent breakdowns and hard-to-find replacement parts
• Inconsistent cycle performance that may fail to meet ANSI/AAMI standards
• Higher operating costs from inefficient energy use and repeated service calls
• Compliance risks that can result in failed inspections or compromised instrument processing

If any of these sound familiar, upgrading to a reliable, refurbished Steris sterilizer is a cost-effective path forward.

Introduction

In the healthcare industry, ensuring the safety and efficacy of medical equipment is of utmost importance. Sterilizers and autoclaves play a critical role in preventing the spread of infections and maintaining a sterile environment in healthcare facilities. To ensure the proper functioning of these devices, it is essential to implement regular preventative maintenance measures.
