The sterilizers belonging to the FOM series is the Fedegari response to the needs of laboratories and the pharmaceutical industries for machines that are easy to use and competitively priced, but nevertheless reliable in sterilizing non thermolabile products. The pharmaceutical environment, as the hospital environment has the need

on a daily basis to sterilize products that are not so critical to sterilize as a drug. For example, machine parts for production or packaging of drugs, accessories employed in sterile environments, containers, and also culture media, animal cages or laboratory waste.
The equipment destined for such applications, considered to be secondary applications, are generally chosen considering economic evaluations over the technical characteristics with the belief that there are no appreciable differences in the vast range of steam sterilizers available on the market. But not all sterilizers offer the same performance, even if destined to be used in less critical processes. However, even a low priced machine can have very prominent features: this is the result achieved by Fedegari with a product at the forefront, at a high technological level and strongly competitive with respect to other alternatives on the market.
The FOM steam sterilizers are simple machines but very reliable and easy to operate. Born as a rationalization of the FOF sterilizers, and with the help of the experience of Fedegari in PLC programming, they are equal in design and construction features.
Even in the development of economically competitive sterilizers, Fedegari has chosen not to compromise on high quality: the materials used, the solutions adopted for guaranteing the safety of the machines as well as the components installed are the same as in the FOF series and not even the software compilation and validation procedures are different from those utilized in the more sophisticated process controllers. The only difference consists in eliminating some sensors and devices found on more complex sterilizers, but superfluous to these specific applications.

Thanks to the current economies of scale and to the operating procedures characteristic to the company, Fedegari today, certainly the most innovative manufacturer in the field is able to offer at a competitive price a sterilizer capable of the same performances as a more sophisticated equipment.

However, for those who have a broad knowledge of sterilization processes and are looking for maximum flexibility with maximum safety, it is not necessary to re-invent the wheel: just look at our current sterilizers which have already satisfied the most demanding pharmaceutical companies worldwide.
