Hospitals, day clinics and laboratories across Southern Africa choose Rob Dyer Surgical and stay with us. Here is why.
Quality assurance and global compliance
As an ISO 13485:2016 approved manufacturer, we run a Quality Management System that checks every product against customer and regulatory requirements.
- SAHPRA registered: fully registered with the South African Health Products Regulatory Authority (formerly MCC).
- Certified standards: our pressure vessels comply with SANS 347:2012 and the PD 5500 welders code (equivalent to EN 13445).
- Complete documentation: every autoclave arrives with a full data pack containing operating manuals, manufacturing certificates, technical drawings and pressure testing certificates.
An industry-leading pressure vessel guarantee
We guarantee our complete pressure vessels for up to 10 years, more than double what our closest competitors offer.
Superior material engineering: “RO ready”
Our autoclaves are built to last in the harshest environments. We are the first and only manufacturer in the industry to utilise Duplex Stainless Steel (LDX2101).
- Full stainless construction: the jacket, chamber, door, steam generator, pipework, frame and solenoid valves are all high-grade stainless steel.
- Uniform heat: our unique 6 mm chamber with a 3 mm channel-jacketed system delivers uniform steam and heat distribution while acting as structural support.
- Reverse osmosis (RO) ready: the all-stainless construction is fully compatible with RO water systems without risk of corrosion.
Smart technology and paperless records
Sterilization, fully automatic, on a PLC HMI touch-screen interface.
- Paperless record keeping: no printers, no paper rolls, no ink ribbons.
- 3-tier backup system: records are stored simultaneously on the local PC, in the Cloud and in internal static memory.
- Wireless diagnostics: we are the only company offering wireless fault-finding, which diagnoses problems remotely and saves call-out costs and downtime.
Safety, alarms and fail-safes
Safety is not an optional extra; it is our standard.
- Electrical sliding door: direct-drive motor with a braked gearbox for maximum operator safety.
- Switch-gear protection: we are the only manufacturer providing standard complete switch-gear protection for the PLC, contactors, pumps and motors.
- Standard fail-safes: low-water alarms, no-water cut-outs, and alarms that prevent the machine starting during power failures or utility issues.
Eco-efficiency: electricity and water smart
Our autoclaves are designed for a sustainable future.
- Ultra-low water usage: cycles consume as little as 8 litres, against roughly 100 litres for conventional sterilizers.
- Energy saving: “Electricity Smart” technology pre-heats boiler water and runs an automatic blowdown system.
- Standby mode: power consumption drops during periods of inactivity.
- Modern garment cycles: specialised gown and garment reprocessing cycles handle contemporary theatre demands.
Versatile cycle capabilities
Standard and customised cycles meet your specific clinical requirements at 134°C, 121°C, 115°C and 105°C:
- Packs and containers
