Application
The daily use of B-D and Helix test cycles is mandatory in all high-standard medical facilities, particularly dental and surgical clinics where hollow instruments (Type A) and porous loads (like textiles) are routinely sterilized. This includes oral surgery centers, ambulatory surgical centers, and hospital central sterile services departments (CSSD). The B-D test is performed at the start of each operating day or after major repair to ensure the autoclave is functioning correctly before processing patient instruments. The Helix test is used to validate the performance for instruments with long, narrow lumens, which are common in minimally invasive surgery and specialized dental procedures. Consistent passing of these tests provides crucial legal and quality assurance documentation, confirming that the facility's infection control protocols are effective. Failure to pass these tests means the sterilizer must be immediately taken out of service, underscoring the critical nature of this feature for continuous clinical operation and patient safety compliance.
Transaction Details
Procurement of test-compatible autoclaves involves standard B2B terms, with a 30% T/T deposit and the balance due against shipping documents. Due to the requirement for calibration verification, many buyers request a factory witness test (FAT) report prior to shipment. CIF terms are common for shipping to international distributors. The equipment is packaged in reinforced, anti-shock crating to protect the delicate vacuum pump system during long-distance transit. Comprehensive technical documentation, including the test cycle validation certificate, is provided with the shipment. Customers should ensure they procure the correct, certified B-D or Helix test devices locally for daily use. Warranty coverage focuses on the performance of the vacuum system and pressure vessel. Lead times are typical for Class B equipment (3-6 weeks). Air freight is available for urgent replacements, though sea freight is standard for cost reasons.
