Autoclave Fomos Foster 8 L class B, white

Safe sterilisation for a wide range of instruments

Fomos is a manufacturer of medical equipment specialising in autoclaves and sterilisation devices for beauty salons, dental practices and medical clinics. The Fomos Foster 8 L is a professional autoclave for beauty salons, nail studios and any other setting where instruments must be kept sterile.

The autoclave meets medical class B, the highest sterilisation class, providing an effective and safe process that makes it easier to maintain high hygiene standards. It sterilises both medical and non-medical instruments – wrapped and unwrapped, porous, solid and those with cavities and channels.

The device may only be operated by qualified staff with the knowledge and training to use this type of equipment. Read the instruction manual carefully before use.

Features

• Medical class B – fractionated pre-vacuum for effective sterilisation of wrapped and unwrapped instruments of any type
• 8 L stainless steel chamber – durable medical-grade material; holds a rack with 3 trays
• Control panel with LED display – select programmes and set parameters easily; temperature, pressure and time are shown during the cycle
• Built-in thermal printer – prints a record of every cycle with date, time, temperature and pressure; no ink to replace
• USB port – save sterilisation data digitally to a USB stick
• Built-in water tanks – one for distilled or deionised water and one for used water, so no external container is needed
• Self-diagnosis – error messages, for example for a leaking door seal or a sensor fault, help prevent damage
• Automatic cleaning reminder after 300 cycles; the cleaning programme takes 15–20 minutes
• Adjustable sterilisation and drying times to match the cycle to the instruments and packaging
