The P2131 Automated Field Steam Sterilizer is a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cleared pre-/post-vacuum steam sterilizer. It is a modernized, fully automated version that replaces the M138 (Bertha) previously used by the U.S. military. This sterilizer handles up to 36 lb of wrapped instruments per load and is perfect for any military Role 3 field hospital. The Water Recovery System (WRS) is an integral part of the P2131 that recovers water from each cycle and provides the mechanical means to create the pre-/post-cycle vacuum.

FDI offers military-grade Field Water Systems designed to manage the challenges of water distribution and wastewater disposal in extreme conditions. These systems are crucial for field hospitals, delivering potable water to essential areas such as intensive care units, pharmacies, and laboratories, while managing wastewater transfer efficiently. The systems boast laser etched subassemblies for easy identification, quick disconnect fittings for rapid setup, and NSN-based components, allowing simplified selection and ordering. This comprehensive system can be delivered in preferred shipping containers to minimize logistical challenges. The application of these systems spans armed forces operations and humanitarian aid efforts, ensuring effective water management throughout varied operational environments.

FDI's Military Field Water Heater is engineered to prevent water supply systems from freezing in extreme cold conditions frequently faced by military field hospitals. This specialized heater effectively circulates water from the main supply through advanced heating elements, controlled by precise thermostat regulation. It is constructed with durable, all-welded aluminum alloy and features a light powder-coated frame, ensuring reliability and longevity. The heater employs a Cam-and-Groove hose fitting system for quick and secure connections, supplemented by local on/off switches and a Mil-Spec Class L connecting plug for safe, user-friendly operation. Its design integrates safety elements such as a pressure safety valve to prevent overpressurization and overheating. This system seamlessly works with FDI’s extensive water distribution systems, making it an imperative component for potable and wastewater management in field applications.

The FDI Potable Water Pump is a versatile solution primarily designed for use in military field hospitals to ensure reliable water circulation. It is not only easy to install and operate but also supports maintenance processes for both rapid and sustained deployments. The pump effectively draws potable water from collection units, such as collapsible water bladders, and efficiently distributes it through an integrated hose network to various necessary points. It provides sufficient pressurization of water management systems within a facility, aiding clean water delivery. This pump is advantageous in settings where consistent water flow is paramount, compatible with large-scale water distribution systems. This equipment is integral for operations requiring assured and systematic water circulation in challenging environments, enhancing operational adaptability and readiness.
