Is your Sterilizer Old? Does it fail frequently?

Upgrade your unit now with in-stock STERIS models of almost every size.

If your steam sterilizer is aging, the warning signs usually show up long before a complete failure. Longer warm-up times, cycle interruptions, door issues, inconsistent vacuum performance, and frequent service calls don’t just create headaches—they create workflow bottlenecks that ripple through your entire department. When your sterilizer becomes unpredictable, everything downstream becomes harder to schedule, harder to document, and harder to keep on time.

At Auxo Medical, we help facilities replace “problem units” with dependable, refurbished STERIS steam sterilizers that fit real-world space and throughput needs—from compact chambers to high-capacity recessed configurations. If you’re tired of patching the same issues over and over, upgrading now can be the simplest way to reduce downtime and get back to consistent, repeatable processing.

When “old but running” stops being good enough

A sterilizer that fails frequently doesn’t only cost money in parts and labor. It costs you in missed loads, delayed cases, rushed turnaround, and constant uncertainty for your team. Many departments reach a point where:

  • Repairs become more frequent than preventive maintenance
  • A single fault shuts down the day’s schedule
  • Staff lose time troubleshooting instead of processing
  • Documentation and printouts become unreliable or inconsistent
  • Obsolete components make lead times and pricing unpredictable

Upgrading gives you a cleaner path forward: stable operation, modernized controls on many refurbished models, and a better fit between your capacity needs and your actual chamber volume.

More chamber capacity without jumping to a full recessed house unit

Steris 400 Series 20″ Sterilizer
When your current sterilizer feels “just a little too small” load after load, stepping up to a larger chamber can noticeably reduce the number of cycles you run per day. This refurbished model includes a rack and shelving configuration and is designed to support efficient day-to-day processing with modern operator controls and printed cycle documentation.

Steris AMSCO C Series 20″ Sterilizer 
Refurbished small steam sterilizers designed for healthcare use, built for fast, efficient sterilization of heat- and moisture-stable materials.

High-volume, department-scale processing

Steris AMSCO Century V-148 Steam Sterilizer
A larger-capacity pre-vacuum sterilizer designed for fast, efficient processing with cycle versatility (including common pre-vacuum and gravity-style cycles). If you’re looking to increase throughput and reduce the strain on your schedule, the V-148 class is a strong step up for busy departments that need chamber space and dependable performance.

Steris AMSCO 400 Series 48” House Steam Sterilizer Recessed
A recessed, high-volume option built for efficient loading and consistent processing. This configuration is designed around high-throughput workflows and includes features that support practical day-to-day operation—especially in busy sterile processing environments where capacity and reliability matter most.
