Astell gets Logicolor-ful

Astell are now fitting their world class LogiColor controller to all their autoclaves from the smallest 30L Benchtop units to the largest Square Section models.

The Astell LogiColor controller provides the precision, accuracy and flexibility that are essential in today's most demanding medical and laboratory environments. The integral PLC combines with a variety of analogue and digital input/output modules to provide a range of standard features including cycle selection, cycle progress, temperature and pressure displays, timed start and auto start facilities, timed safety valve testing and fault display.

The operator interface is a wipe-clean, full colour touch screen with a multi-lingual, icon based operating system. The system is password protected and has multiple access levels. An integral flash card provides continuous data archiving and sterilisation cycle records can be printed for validation purposes.

The control software has been developed by Astell's in-house design team, based on the company's 80 years experience in autoclave manufacture. The Astell range meets all current standards including the requirements of the Medical Devices Directive 93/42/EEC and Pressure Equipment Directive EN/97/23/EC.
