Enigma 8 STE-8-C Steam Sterilizer
Enigma STE-8-C Class B Steam Steriliser Autoclave — 8 Litre
The Enigma STE-8-C is a compact Class B fractionated vacuum bench-top steam steriliser designed for dental, podiatry, aesthetic and clinical settings requiring reliable sterilisation of the full range of instrument load types. Class B certification means the STE-8-C is capable of processing solid, porous and hollow instruments — including handpieces, turbines and hollow A and B loads — in both wrapped and unwrapped configurations, in full compliance with BS EN 13060. A built-in independent steam generator provides a dedicated steam source for faster cycle initiation and consistent steam quality without reliance on a mains steam supply. All sterilisation cycles are fully automated with pre-programmed settings at 121°C and 134°C. An automatic drying phase at the end of each cycle removes residual moisture from wrapped loads. Two fast cycle options are available for high-throughput sessions. A built-in printer generates a printed cycle record at the end of each run for compliance and audit documentation. Supplied with two sterilising trays. Compliant with BS EN 13060, HTM 01-05 and MDD 93/42/EEC.
