How a Periclave Cycle Runs

1

Load & Seal

Wrapped instruments and packs are loaded into the chamber. Door is sealed via radial-locking hinge or pneumatic sliding mechanism.

2

Pre-Vacuum

Pre-vacuum pulses through the inbuilt vacuum pump remove air from the chamber, ensuring even steam penetration into porous loads and lumens.

3

Sterilize

Saturated steam at standard hospital cycle conditions destroys microbial life, including bacterial spores. PLC or microprocessor maintains time, temperature, and pressure.

4

Post-Vacuum Dry

Post-vacuum pulses remove residual moisture from the load, returning instruments dry and ready for sterile packaging.

5

Validate & Release

Cycle parameters are recorded by the optional printer or HMI. Biological indicator results (e.g. Terragene Bionova) confirm sterility before release.

The CSSD Workflow — Dirty to Clean Zone

A modern Central Sterile Supply Department is laid out as a one-way flow from the dirty zone (where used instruments arrive) through a sterilization barrier to the clean zone (where sterilized items are stored and dispatched). The pass-through autoclave is the physical boundary that separates these zones — instruments are loaded from the dirty side and unloaded on the clean side, never crossing back. This layout is required by infection-control standards and is what auditors verify during JCI accreditation.

Dirty Zone
Stage 1

Receipt & Sorting

Used instruments arrive from OT, wards, and clinics. Logged, sorted by type, gross debris removed.

Dirty Zone
Stage 2

Cleaning & Decontamination

Manual pre-rinse + automated thermal washing and disinfection. Validated cycle removes organic load and reduces microbial count before sterilization.

Stage 3

Inspection & Packaging

Cleaned instruments inspected for damage and assembled into surgical sets. Wrapped in sterilization wrap or loaded into sterilization pouches.

Steam Sterilization

Pre-vacuum steam sterilization at the standard cycle profile. The double-door pass-through autoclave physically separates the dirty and clean zones.

Sterile Storage

Sterilized packs cooled, validated against batch records and biological indicator results, then stored in a controlled clean storage area.

Distribution

Sterile packs released and dispatched to OT, wards, ICU, and clinical departments via dedicated clean trolleys. Batch records archived.

Standards referenced: Workflow stages above follow infection-control and reprocessing standards published in ANSI/AAMI ST79 (Comprehensive guide to steam sterilization and sterility assurance in healthcare facilities), HTM 01-01 (UK Department of Health Health Technical Memorandum — Management and decontamination of surgical instruments), ISO 17664-1:2021 (Processing of health care products — Information to be provided by the medical device manufacturer for the processing of medical devices), and EN 285 (Sterilization — Steam sterilizers — Large sterilizers). The dirty-to-clean unidirectional layout with a pass-through sterilization barrier is the standard configuration these documents specify for JCI-aligned hospital CSSDs.

For Nepal

Validated CSSD Autoclaves Across Every Hospital Tier

For NABH-aligned and JCI-aspirant Nepali hospitals, the CSSD autoclave is the centrepiece of every accreditation audit — and the validation documentation chain (DQ/FAT/IQ/OQ/PQ) is what auditors actually inspect. Periclave delivers that chain by default. JHS also supplies premium European brands (Belimed, Getinge, Steris) for projects that require them — the recommendation is matched to your project's scale, accreditation target, and budget.

Is the autoclave compliant for Nepal hospital accreditation audits?

Yes. The autoclave is designed in compliance with EN 285 (European standard for large steam sterilizers), HTM 2010 (UK Department of Health Health Technical Memorandum for sterilizers), JCI infection control requirements, and USFDA documentation expectations. It carries the CE mark and is manufactured under an ISO 9001:2008 quality system. Every installation includes the complete DQ, FAT, IQ, OQ, PQ documentation, MoC test certificates, calibration certificates, and test worthiness certificates required for hospital accreditation audits in Nepal.

What sizes of Periclave autoclaves are available?

Periclave manufactures the widest CSSD range available — from the 79 L P79C bench-top sterilizer for small clinics and labs, through mid-size hinge-door models (250–810 L) for district and zonal hospitals, to large rectangular sliding-door pass-through units (1,000–6,750 L) for tertiary care, university teaching hospitals, and pharmaceutical production. Custom sizes available on request.

What is the difference between hinge door and sliding door autoclaves?

Hinge door autoclaves use a radial locking hinge mechanism — robust, simpler to service, cost-effective. Best for small to mid-size CSSDs and labs. Sliding door autoclaves use a pneumatically operated sliding mechanism and are typically configured as double-door pass-through units, separating the dirty and clean zones of a CSSD as required by JCI and HTM 2010 infection control standards. Pass-through sliding door units are the standard for tertiary hospital CSSDs and pharmaceutical sterile manufacturing.

Does JHS provide installation, training, and after-sales support for Periclave?

Yes. As Periclave's authorized distributor in Nepal, JHS Analytic Traders provides the complete project lifecycle: site survey, installation drawings (electrical, plumbing, foundation), commissioning, validation documentation (DQ/FAT/IQ/OQ/PQ), operator training, and ongoing maintenance through Periclave's network of trained engineers. Spare parts and consumables are stocked through our authorized supply chain.

Can Periclave autoclaves be used for pharmaceutical sterilization?

Yes. Periclave manufactures sterilizers for both hospital CSSD and pharmaceutical applications, including bung processing sterilizers, super heated water sterilizers for sterile liquid (LVP/SVP) production, and dedicated pharma R&D, process, and production division equipment. All units are constructed in SS 316, SS 316L/Ti, or SS 304 as per the application's regulatory requirement.

Does the autoclave support biological indicator validation?

Yes. The autoclave is designed to support routine cycle validation including Bowie-Dick test cycles and biological indicators. JHS supplies Terragene Bionova self-contained biological indicators alongside the autoclave installation as part of the complete CSSD validation programme — the standard approach for JCI and USFDA-aligned hospital accreditation.
