Systec Launches New and Improved HX-150 Autoclave at MEDICA 2019

Systec GmbH (Nuremberg, Germany) launched the first product from its re-designed Systec H-Series: the new and improved Systec HX-150 autoclave at the MEDICA 2019 International Trade Fair on November 18-21 in Düsseldorf, Germany. In addition to the new generation of autoclaves, visitors at MEDICA 2019 got a closer look at several other Systec devices, including not only autoclaves, but also advanced media preparators and the Systec Mediafill dispensing and dosing system. Systec’s partner company Evidencia GmbH also introduced innovative concepts for qualifying and validating equipment and sterilization processes.

MEDICA is the world's largest medical trade fair for medical technology, electromedical equipment, laboratory equipment, diagnostics and pharmaceuticals. More than 5,000 exhibitors from 70 countries presented their newest products and ideas at MEDICA 2019 which drew 120,000 trade visitors from over 170 countries.


The Systec H-Series floor-standing autoclaves of the performance category HX can be used for all laboratory applications, even for sophisticated sterilization processes and are available in 16 different sizes with 65 to 1580 liters chamber volume. All additional optional accessories can be fitted to obtain validatable processes. In spite of the high loading capacity, these autoclaves are compact and have a comparatively low weight.

The Systec HX-150 autoclave is the world’s first device from the new, improved Systec H-Series – a new generation of autoclaves in a new design, with a completely overhauled interior, and a touchscreen control that has been newly developed from scratch. This combination guarantees more precise work, easier to maintain equipment, and up to 25% faster autoclaving processes. In addition, the new autoclaves come with an Ethernet port as standard and optional Wi-Fi hardware to optimise updating processes, remote maintenance, and remote control of the devices via a computer network. An integrated USB port allows the automated export of documentation data in CSV or PDF format. The volume of the extended internal memory also allows storage of up to 10 years of documentation data. This eliminates the need for separate programs for documentation and archiving that are the otherwise necessary. This integrated documentation function is also interesting from a regulatory point of view, because the new generation of the Systec H- Series automatically fulfils an essential point of the FDA guideline 21 CFR Part 11. Additional features of the series also serve to satisfy regulatory requirements from the pharmaceutical industry, such as automatically distributed, tamper-proof signatures for the PDF and CSV files that are generated, and the tracking of all actions, adjustments, and alerts using AuditTrail.
