New W&H Lina:Class B under $10K

A-dec has unveiled its most affordable steriliser yet during ADX18 held at Sydney's International Convention Centre in Darling Harbour.

The W&H Lina, manufactured in Europe, offers optimised B-type cycle times with complete loads being reprocessed faster, which ensures not only more efficient time management, but also more rapid availability of the instruments for subsequent treatments.

The device also boasts additional strengths such as the short ECO-B cycle, which has been specially designed for smaller loads. This allows users to cut their cycle times by up to half - the instruments can now be sterilised, dried and removed from the W&H device in less than 30 minutes.

Lina also has an inbuilt data logger offering added security for the seamless documentation of sterilisation cycles via USB download and a simplified keypad for ease of operation.

The added option of delayed start saves time by running the performance cycles (vacuum test, Helix test) prior to staff arriving in the morning or allowing sterilisation of instruments overnight ready for the next day's patients.

The patented Water Separation System ensures quiet operation and stops contaminants from reaching the vacuum pump membranes for added reliability and speed.

Lina can also be directly connected to W&H's MultiDEM demineraliser to allow automated water filling or can be filled manually via the inbuilt funnel.

Lina joins the flagship W&H Lisa VA steriliser, the latter providing even faster cycles and added features including customisable colour keypad with user I.D. and password protected load-release function, plus wireless monitoring of cycles on the Lisa App.
