FDI - Model P2131 -Automated Field Steam Sterilizer
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.
This autoclave combines the safety and efficacy of microprocessor-controlled pre-vacuum 270°F sterilization cycles with the ruggedness, portability, and reliability required for various harsh environments. Whether the ambient conditions are 40°F at 8,000 feet altitude or 130°F at sea level, the P2131 sterilizer was designed and has been rigorously tested to ensure consistent, dependable operation regardless of extreme conditions.
The P2131 can process up to 100 loads while using only 10 gallons of potable water, which conserves this valuable resource often scarce in remote locations. The P2131 also features automated cycles, easy-to-set-up-and-use design, and a host of safety features, making it the obvious choice for steam sterilization in a field environment.
