Small Steam Sterilizer Refurbishment and Quality Assurance Process at Auxo Medical
Refurbished steam sterilizers from Auxo Medical offer a cost-effective and reliable solution for sterile processing needs, without compromising on quality or performance. With over 25 years of experience in process development and improvement, Auxo Medical takes a unique approach to refurbishment – a complete rebuild, ensuring “like new” warranties and performance.
The Auxo Medical Refurbishment Process: A True Rebuild
Unlike typical refurbishment processes, Auxo Medical’s approach involves a comprehensive rebuild of each steam sterilizer, guaranteeing optimal performance and longevity. This meticulous process includes:
1. Complete Disassembly at the Component Level
Every unit is completely disassembled, allowing for thorough inspection, cleaning, and replacement of worn or damaged parts.
2. Vessel and Frame Refurbishment
- Pressure Vessel Chamber: The pressure vessel chamber (“core”) undergoes bead blasting and hydrostatic pressure testing to ensure structural integrity.
- Frame/Stand: The cast iron framing/stand is bead blasted, repainted with rust-resistant paint, or completely replaced, ensuring a solid foundation.
- Insulation: A new insulation blanket encases the chamber/core, optimizing thermal efficiency.
3. Plumbing Rebuild
Both upper and lower plumbing systems are meticulously rebuilt, with:
- Steam, Exhaust, and Water Manifolds: Rebuilt to ensure optimal flow and pressure.
- New Components (Upper Plumbing): Air filters, pressure gauges, pressure transducers, ball valves, and screens are replaced with new components.
- Rebuilt Components (Upper Plumbing): Pressure regulators and strainers are rebuilt to like-new condition.
- New Components (Lower Plumbing): Chamber sensor, ball valves, pressure switch, screens, o-rings, RTD, jacket, and chamber drain are replaced.
- Rebuilt Components (Lower Plumbing): Check valves, Venturi Water Ejector, heat exchanger, strainers, and steam traps are rebuilt.
4. Door Refurbishment
Doors are disassembled, cleaned, and bead blasted as needed. Specific attention is given to different sterilizer models:
- 400 Series and Century Sterilizers (Vertical Power Door): Rebuilt with new door cable, sensors, stainless components, and a recertified motor.
- Eagle 3000 (Radial Handwheel Door): Rebuilt with refinished nickel-coated door bars, new guides, and a new door cover.
5. Controls Recertification
- Displays/Touchpads: Reconditioned or replaced to ensure clear and responsive operation.
- Printer Components: Replaced for reliable documentation.
- Control Board, Connector Board, Power Supply Board, Control Housing: Tested and recertified using an independent testing station.
- Wiring: All wiring is verified and replaced if necessary.
6. Framing/Stainless Panels
All other stainless and framing side panels are either new or regrained to achieve a “like new” condition, ensuring a professional appearance.
Quality Assurance: Ensuring Reliability and Performance
Auxo Medical’s commitment to quality extends beyond the refurbishment process. Every unit undergoes rigorous testing and calibration:
- Calibration: All units are meticulously calibrated to meet original manufacturer specifications.
- Leak Testing: Each unit must complete 20 cycles without exceeding a manufacturer-accepted leak rate of 1.0.
