VS G2 & VS Series
Steam Sterilizers - for Centralized Sterile Reprocessing.
The VS and VS G2 Series of high-capacity steam sterilizers for centralized sterile reprocessing, characterized by versatility, safety, and state-of-the-art technology, represent the perfect solutions from the smallest facility to the largest central sterilization supply department, with a processing capacity of 4 STU up to 18 STU per cycle. The series’ devices combine high productivity with cost efficiency, improving CSSD running costs. Leading-edge technologies such as NCG & 4DIR Sensors, respectively the only sensor that can measure the Non-Condensable Gases (NCGs) and quantify them in every steam sterilization process and the only commercially available instrument that ensures the control of sterilization conditions by direct measuring the sterilant conditions, available as an option.
A high-quality AISI 316 L squared design chamber minimizes dead space for optimal loading and throughput. The best possible jacket covering ensures fast heating and reduces cycle times and areas of potential condensation. High-quality AISI 316 L steam process circuits guarantee long-term reliability and steam cleanliness. Advance Eco Options guarantees unrivaled levels of efficiency, energy, and water consumption reduction with the lowest operating costs per load, assisting our customers in their goals toward environmental sustainability.
Safety, Design and Strength
The sterilization chamber and the steam process piping are made of high-quality AISI 316 L stainless steel, a guarantee for long-term reliability and steam cleanliness. Easy to remove and refit CFC-free thermal insulation isolates the acid-proof stainless steel chambers and piping. With the ease of service in mind, most piping is connected using stainless steel tri-clamps, and principal components such as the vacuum pump are installed on sliding rails.
Integral Traceability
VS series of steam sterilizers are compatible with SteelcoData suite software for management and traceability. SteelcoData Live instantly displays and stores your sterilizers’ performance, cycles performed, and consumption. In addition, SteelcoData Pro tracks the localization and status of your sets and instruments through each stage of reprocessing.
Layout Optimization Solutions
Steelco is renowned for developing tailored solutions facilitating users in their daily tasks. A comprehensive range of models and the combination from manual up to robotized (un)loading systems allows the optimization of layout solutions. In addition, an integrated system planning service based on 3D architectural modeling helps customers define the optimal layout configurations for new or refurbishment projects.
Multiple Loading Option
Steelco’s range includes accessories to improve the efficiency of the CSSD, loading carts, systems for stacking baskets and containers, motorized transfer trolleys with adjustable height, and conveyors and pass-through hatches. The “Easy-Load System” accessories for stackable loads eliminate the need for loading racks and pass-through hatches or windows.

Process Quality Focus
A series of advanced process safety and quality features, such as a direct steam injection into gaskets, jacket, and chamber; a high-efficiency heat transfer jacket system or the built-in degassing device.
Optimized Process Speed
The two-stage liquid ring vacuum pump ensures faster processes and perfectly matches the chamber size. Vacuum pump options and Eco options also help to shorten process times.
Ergonomics
Fixed or adjustable transport trolley from 4 up to 12 STU capacity, also on floor loading version.
Full Traceability
Full history cycle traceability, compatible with Steelco Data Pro. Ethernet Port for network communication.
7" or 10" User-Friendly HMI
A sizeable intuitive touchscreen control panel supports operators in every step of their interaction—hands-free cycle programs selection via a barcode scanner.
NCG Sensor
NCG Sensor is the revolutionary sensor that implements automated and constant monitoring of non-condensable gases during every steam sterilization process. NCG Sensor is much more than a test, as it is an integrated independent and always active control system, unique in the market. For the duration of each cycle, it measures the percentage of non-condensable gases, ensuring recordable measurable and reproducible processes in real-time, in full compliance with EN 285:2015. Process automation, maximum efficiency, and reliable results.
4D Sensor
Yet another step forward in instrument steam sterilization process consistency, safety, and traceability. Steelco 4DIR sensor is a breakthrough innovation in steam sterilization monitoring: steam penetration is continuously proven, monitored, and registered in real-time during the sterilization plateau. It is currently the only commercially available instrument that ensures the control of sterilization conditions as required by regulations such as EN 285: 2015 and ISO 17665-1:2006 clause 10.1.
R-APPIT
R-APPIT packaging robot for automatizing the sterile packaging process in sterilization plants eliminates the need for manual intervention and the risk of human error or contamination while maintaining packaging integrity. With the distribution of R-APPIT, Steelco adds one more piece to its path of redefinition and technological innovation in instrument reprocessing for enhanced efficiency, sustainability, and safety.
Advanced Eco Option
Steelco’s range of high-end solutions to save water and energy: our sterilizers are engineered to offer best-in-class technologies providing unrivaled levels of efficiency for the reduction of energy and water consumption, giving users the lowest operating costs per load, assisting our customers in their sustainability goals.
