The FOB4 Stand-alone Lab Sterilizer is an autoclave that combines excellent performances with overall high quality materials and ease of use.

The FOB4 Lab Sterilizer is suitable for the use in laboratory for many different applications, such as:

  • Microbiology and analytical labs.
  • Research institutes and examination agencies.
  • Bio-Technologies and life sciences.
  • Animal facility and clinical diagnostic labs.
  • Pharmaceutical, food, chemistry industries, QC labs.
  • Agricultural, environmental and veterinary labs.

These sterilizers have been specially designed with ergonomical features for easy handling of higher volume sterilization materials and goods as: glassware, media preparation, liquids, in open and sealed containers, mixed regular and high risk waste, as well as surgery instruments, textiles, rubber articles and packaged tools.

FOB4 Stand-alone Lab Sterilizer is easy to be configured, thanks to its conceptual design and modular construction with a convenient portfolio of optional kits. In fact, all the models can be configured using various customized systems guaranteed by the wide range of processes, software options and an extensive choice of accessories. Please, click on the link “recommended kit” to check out all possible configurations referred to FOB4 series.

DESIGN AND TECHNICAL FEATURES

FOB4 can be designed in two chamber dimensions: 147 liters (FOB4-TS) with single vertical sliding door or 210 liters (FOB4S-TS – FOB4/L TS), 226 liters (FOB4L) with double vertical sliding door for pass-through purposes. The vertically automatic sliding doors are pneumatically activated for space efficiency in laboratory and hospitals.

FOB4 autoclave has internal 316L stainless steel plates fed by steam used both as heat-exchanger system for steam pre-heating and to cool the chamber temperature by means of cold softened water. As an option these plates can be used for drying purposes at the end of the cycle.

Fedegari designs laboratory autoclaves combining operators’ safety as well as equipment performances. Thermal blocking system to prevent door openings in hazardous situations. Temperature probes and pressure transducers ensure constant process monitoring, as well as precision and optimal temperature distribution in the chamber, guaranteeing a high level of safety for the operator and performance and reproducibility of the sterilization process.

FOB series is equipped with DCS20 process controller: 30 cycles easy to customize in a multi-user environment. Large touch-screen color display and interface for remote monitoring via Ethernet control. DCS20 process controller is fully validated and documented.

    DCS20

    The DCS20 process controller was specially designed for laboratory machines manufactured by Fedegari.

    The result is a modular system that offers a wide range of functions and high reliability.

    The system includes a supervisor module and other individual ones dedicated to specific functions such as: programs management, cycles, phases, configurations, and alarms for the module.

    Options 

    • REMOTE GUI allows remote connection to a PC by Ethernet connection. This connection allows the operator to view the machine display on the desktop.
    • REMOTE CONTROL allows remote connection to a PC by the Ethernet connection port. This connection allows the operator to fully interact with the machine. This excludes door closing and data backup operations.

    Data management in compliance with the requirements of the 21 CFR PART 11 protocol.

    Life cycle and Validation

    DCS20 is designed, developed, tested, maintained, and validated according to a defined life cycle according to regulatory requirements stated in the current GMP.

    Life cycle management complies with FDA 21 CFR Part 11, up to the current operational stage in defining product management practices in accordance with the principles of the GAMP5 guideline.

    According to the system classification defined in GAMP 5 – Appendix M4 Categories of Software and Hardware, DCSPLUS20 is classified as:

    • Software Category 4 – Configurable system
    • Hardware Category 1 – Standard hardware components

    Tests on software and hardware components are performed, during project and engineering activities, by applying functional risk analysis according to ALCOA+ principles, as defined in the Change Control procedure, dedicated to DCS20, part of the Fedegari Quality System.
