AUTOCLAVE 85l, hospital grade, class B, Tuttnauer HSG
Definition
This device is an AC-powered steam sterilizer (autoclave) designed to eliminate or inactivate microorganisms from medical devices and related materials using moist heat. It is intended for use with items not sensitive to high temperatures, water, or steam. The autoclave has an 85-litre chamber for placing devices or instruments and includes standard safety and control features. It can be used for both wrapped and unwrapped medical instruments.
The 3870 HSG is classified as a hospital-grade Class B autoclave. It is suitable for health facilities that require sterilization of complex hollow instruments, including devices with narrow lumens, such as internal fixators. It can run continuous sterilization cycles.
The HSG-WS variant incorporates a water-saving feature that recycles water within the cycle, reducing daily water consumption to approximately 5 litres. This supports more sustainable and efficient resource use in all settings.
Specifications
Pre & Post vacuum performance is achieved with a built-in vacuum pump used for fractionated pre vacuum air removal eliminating air pockets from all load types and maximizing efficient steam penetration throughout the entire load. After the sterilization stage the vacuum pump is used for post-vacuum drying.
Utility Connection Features
- Dependent on Utilities: the HSG can be operated as a stationary sterilizer connected to building utilities for distilled water, tap water, drain and electricity.
- Independent of Utilities: the HSG-WS comes with a standard “Plug and Play” option to operate only with an electric power connection. In this mode there is no need to connect the autoclave to the building utilities for distilled water, tap water and drain. With this option it is also possible to connect to utilities.

Precautions for Use
The project must consider access to quality water (either using a distiller or Reverse Osmosis plant). Contact your biomedical or water/sanitation referent for more information.
MSF requirements
This autoclave is essential for reprocessing complex hollow-body instruments with narrow lumens—such as internal fixators— ensuring effective steam sterilization.
Routinely monitor the sterilization procedure using mechanical, chemical, and biological indicators (BIs). This combination evaluates sterilizing conditions and the microbiologic status of processed items.
Quality Assurance tests required for the Tuttnauer Class B autoclave include:
- ESTEBIRE02- BIOLOGICAL INDICATOR READER / INCUBATOR (MiniBio)
- ESTEBIRT0201 – BIOLOGICAL INDICATOR, steam, air-removal, BT224
- ESTETBOD1-- BOWIE-DICK test pack, ready to use
- ESTETSTI51- TST INDICATOR STRIP, Type 5
