Specialised PC3-Compliant Autoclave Requirement

Specialised PC3-Compliant Autoclave Requirement

NSW Pathology required a pass-through autoclave  specifically designed for use in a PC3 (Physical Containment Level 3) environment. Maintaining full compliance with biosecurity regulations was a critical factor.

The installation site had significant space restrictions, and floor levels on either side of the pass-through differed, complicating alignment. Standard trolleys were not suitable, and any compromise would have risked barrier integrity.

Custom-Built Trolley for Seamless Integration

A custom-built trolley system was designed to bridge the differences in floor levels, ensuring safe and seamless transfer of materials between rooms. The installation process was carefully managed to preserve the barrier seal and containment requirements.

Secure, Compliant Operation with Maintained Barrier Integrity

The autoclave was successfully installed, providing a secure and compliant sterilisation solution for the PC3 facility. Barrier integrity was fully maintained, ensuring both safety and operational reliability.
