Review: Solo medical practice, works great. READ INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. - This passed a spore test on the first try. You HAVE to read the instructions and make sure that the feet are adjusted to the correct pitch so that the correct amount of water will enter the chamber so that it will hold pressure long enough. My only complaint is that when I went to level the feet, the brass nut inside the unit that holds on one of the feet spun off inside because it wasn't screwed on all the way at the factory and I had to carefully unscrew/open three side panels to fish it out and screw it back on. I was not able to find any vertical racks for lining up pouches side by side, so I could only fit one pouch on each rack horizontally. So you can only do 3 tools at a time if you use self-sealing pouches. Also, it's a really tight fit for IUD tools. It is hard to find pouches for a reasonable price that are long enough but not too wide. I just got 7.5x13" pouches that I will try and will update this review if they don't fit. My idea for a workaround is to sterilize them loose before doing the IUD and keep them in the sterilizer until ready to use them and set them out on a sterile covered field. That would probably only work if you don't do too many IUDs.
Review: quality product - My prior Tuttnauer lasted 17 years! Great autoclave!

## Questions & Answers

upke**
A: Maintenance and upkeep is easy. You have a before use, weekly and monthly service that takes a minute. Monthly spore tests should be done. Water changed weekly and autoclave cleaned monthly. Serviced once a year by a company that services them.

A: no we just sell units. not the gasket. thanks

My prior Tuttnauer lasted 17 years! Great autoclave!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great value- totally MANUAL
*by H***Y on October 17, 2021*

Well made, good enough capacity for a small office . It does require attention to operation. Meaning, you just can’t set it and walk away. Other than that, it’s a great buy. With its’ manual operation, a lot less to go wrong!!!
