A
-dec is providing Australian
dental practices with access
to one of Europe’s best steri-
lisation solutions, Dürr’s
Hygoclave range.
The Hygoclave was launched in
Australia at ADX Melbourne in 2023
after successful prior “road testing” in
local dental practices where it proved a far
superior experience to existing brands in
terms of ease of use, effectiveness, speed
and reliability.
The Hygoclave represents the next gen-
eration of sterilisers, marked by a clear
and intuitive touchscreen, one-touch oper-
ation capability, flexible water connection
options and inbuilt water quality testing.
The Hygoclave has proven quick, quiet
and a delight to use, winning instant fans
among those who have experienced it.
Although the Hygoclave is a relatively
new introduction to the Australian market,
Dürr has a proud history in infection con-
trol solutions, extending some six decades
back to 1965.
This has culminated in the more recent
development of a superior autoclave,
incorporating advanced technology and
simplicity of operation with fast and secure
B class cycles meeting users’ needs.
A-dec Australia has thrown its full sup-
port behind the Dürr Hygoclave range,
with the appointment of Dr Wee Teo, who
is highly experienced in clinical devices,
as Dürr product manager to provide tech-
nical and clinical support for the Dürr
Hygoclave range to A-dec customers.
Smart cycles
Dr Teo said the Hygoclave can process
dental instruments in as little as 30
minutes, including drying using the 134o
C
B Flash cycle with minimal water and
power use - illustrating both its efficiency
and environmental credentials.
“The 134o
C B Standard sterilisation
program ensures reliable reprocessing of
instruments. And being a ‘smart’ machine,
drying time is automatically extended
according to load size - while additional
vacuum cycles can be pre-selected on the
Hygoclave 50 using the 134o
C B Standard
Plus program to accommodate hard to dry
complex, hollow loads,” he said.
“The result is properly processed, dry
loads every time.”
Dr Teo said feedback from dental prac-
tices is that the Hygoclave is a joy to use
with next to no training thanks to the
intuitive layout of its colour touchscreen
display and easy to understand icon-based
buttons. Key day-to-day functions are just
a simple button-press away.
“It has a simple, easier-to-understand
and smarter user interface,” Dr Teo said.
“For example, one press on the coloured
5” [125mm] touch screen can select the

most recently used sterilisation cycle to
be used again; produce a batch report; or
initiate a test program directly from the
home screen without having to go deep
into menus to set parameters.”
Traceability
An automated powered door with
locking mechanism and integrated
user management system guarantees
secure and easy workflows, supporting
full traceability back to an individual
operator and cycle.
The Hygoclave has a dedicated inter-
face for practice management and hygiene
software, as well as internal storage
capacity for a massive 100,000 cycles,
which are automatically captured in
accordance with ADA Infection Control
Guidelines. It can also produce barcode
labels and batch reports on an optional
attached Dürr printer to assist with label-
ling and storage of sterilised items.
The premium Hygoclave 50 is also
“future proof” with an interface for
remote monitoring and operation via
Dürr’s VistaSoft Monitor mobile app and
computer software.
VistaSoft Monitor enables remote
cycle history backup and downloading
of reports to a user’s PC, together with
remote service diagnostics ability. The
latter is expected to be a popular feature
among Australian users by enabling ser-
vice items to be identified and ordered
ahead of time by equipment technicians to
help speed up servicing.
These convenient features are available
to users using the free VistaSoft Monitor
program exclusive to the Hygoclave 50.
Flexible water
supply options
Another unique feature of Hygoclave
50 is its extremely flexible water
supply options, making it easy to install
in any practice, as well as its built-in
automatic water quality test function with
alerts should water quality fall below
acceptable levels.
The Hygoclave 50 can be filled manu-
ally via the internal tanks accessed by
top-mounted “butterfly” door covers;
alternatively, via a suction system from
a canister of treated water; or by being
connected to a fully automated Dürr water
treatment system.
Hygoclave is manufactured from
quality stainless steel and special high
temperature and ionised water-resistant
plastics for sustained trouble-free opera-
tion. It is available with either a 17L or
22L chamber matching the size and
throughput of the practice.
The product is also easy to maintain
and very service-friendly due to its intelli-
gent and modular design, making internal
access easy which has already won a big
thumbs up from dental equipment techni-
cians in Australia.
