Built for high-throughput Central Sterile Supply Departments. SS 316L zero-joint rectangular chamber delivers superior tray loading, double-door pass-through for NABH clean/dirty zone compliance, and PLC automation with full audit trail. 300L to 1,000L.
The SHIVcare Rectangular High-Pressure High-Vacuum (HPHV) Steam Sterilizer is engineered for the demanding requirements of large Central Sterile Supply Departments (CSSD) in tertiary care hospitals, medical colleges, and multi-speciality chains across India.
The rectangular chamber design provides significantly better utilisation of instrument trays and DIN baskets compared to cylindrical designs of equivalent volume — reducing the number of sterilization cycles required per OT session and improving CSSD throughput for busy surgical departments.
The double-door pass-through configuration places the unloading door in the clean zone while the loading door opens in the dirty/decontamination zone — a mandatory design feature for NABH Chapter 4 (CSSD) accreditation and CSSD best practice guidelines.
Like all SHIVcare sterilizers, the rectangular model is constructed from AISI 316L (Low Carbon) Stainless Steel with hydraulically formed zero-joint end rings, operating at 1.2 kg/cm² to 2.2 kg/cm², and controlled via Siemens/Allen-Bradley PLC with 7-inch colour touch HMI and tamper-proof batch recording.
Rectangular SS 316L Zero-Joint ChamberHydraulically formed end panels in AISI 316L Low Carbon Stainless Steel. No weld seams on the pressure boundary. Superior tray-loading geometry versus cylindrical chambers.
Double-Door Pass-Through DesignAvailable on all models 300L and above. Entry door in decontamination zone; exit door in sterile/clean zone. Mechanical interlock prevents both doors opening simultaneously — mandatory for NABH CSSD compliance.
Operating Pressure: 1.2 – 2.2 kg/cm²Supports 121°C gravity cycle and 134°C high-vacuum SFPP cycle. Design pressure 3.0 kg/cm² with pressure relief valve factory-set per IS 3829 Part 1.
Multi-Stage Pre-Vacuum (SFPP)Steam-flush pressure-pulse vacuum system achieves residual air below 1 mBar — critical for sterilizing complex instrument trays, wrapped sets, and hollow goods in large-volume rectangular chambers.
PLC Touch-Screen with Batch RecordsSiemens S7 / Allen-Bradley PLC with 7-inch colour HMI. Pre-validated cycle programmes. USB export and printer interface for complete electronic batch records meeting NABH and CDSCO requirements.
Temperature Uniformity ±0.5°CSS steam jacket and chamber geometry engineered for ±0.5°C temperature uniformity during holding phase per IS 3829 Part 2 — validated across the full volume of the rectangular chamber.
IQ / OQ / PQ Validation PackageComplete Installation Qualification, Operational Qualification, and Performance Qualification documentation provided at commissioning — directly accepted for NABH accreditation submission.
