Hi All

Hoping someone can offer some advice.

We have not be able to find definitive specifications for water and steam quality required for benchtop sterilisers (Dental Autoclaves).

We have two questions:

1. Some manufacturers suggest the use of distilled or de-ionised water. If a water distiller is used how is the water quality controlled when refilling the reservoir?

2. What are the steam quality specifications for benchtop sterilisers, and where is the reference for these?

Thank you for any assistance you can provide.
