A & E Lab – Dental Autoclave

What is class B & class N autoclave? 
The class B autoclave has vacuum cycle.It is the highest class autoclave,which is conforming to the most stringent demands and therefore can be unrestrictedly used for the sterilization of all possible loads for all kinds of sterilization packaging (solid ,hollow road type A and hollow road instruments with wrapped and unwrapped). A “class B” autoclave must in any case pass a Helix test as per EN 13060 by test body per EN 867-5:2001. According to expert opinion, that can only be achieved with a fractionated pre-vacuum procedure. Post vacuum drying provides complete drying of porous loads and hollow instruments at the end of thesterilization process. The class N autoclave do not have vacuum cycle. If you only sterilize unwrapped non hollow instruments, you only need an autoclave capable of running class N cycles.
