Product Overview
Getinge 433/533HC-E Series Steam
Sterilizers deliver an unmatched
combination of sterility assurance,
cycle flexibility, real-time information
access, and advanced operator
control. These sterilizers are ideal for
new construction or replacing older
models, offering increased chamber
loading capacities within the same wall
openings and footprints of your current
units. An updated touchscreen display
makes it easier than ever to custom
name cycles for fast, accurate
identification. The 433HC-E and
533HC-E Series offer cycles
employing either gravity/downward
displacement or pressure/vacuum
pulsing. The sterilizers offer up to 24
cycles in two easy steps for
applications including wrapped and
Getinge 433/533HC-E Series Sterilizers
unwrapped porous and non-porous
hard goods, utensils, gowns or towel
packs and liquids in self-venting or
unsealed containers.

132°C and 135°C Validated Cycles Continued
The 433/533HC-E Series Steam Sterilizers are validated with pre-vacuum and gravity sterilization
cycles at 132°C (270°F) and 135°C (275°F). Preprogrammed cycles include gravity cycles and
pre-vacuum cycles for immediate-use steam sterilization (IUSS). This saves you time
programming custom cycles and self-validating sterilization efficacy.*
*Deviation from pre-programmed cycle parameters requires user validation

CYCLE PROGRESSION
Gravity/Wrapped Goods (Pressure pulse conditioning)
1. Conditioning—steam flows into the chamber for a time period, followed by a series of positive
pressure pulses to remove chamber air.
2. Heat-Up—to the selected temperature.
3. Exposure—selected chamber temperature is attained and timed.
4. Exhaust—chamber vented to atmospheric pressure.
5. Dry—filtered air is drawn through the chamber for the duration of time selected. (Either Gravity or
Vacuum Dry is selectable; Vacuum Dry is recommended)
6. Cycle Complete—signaled by a tone, light and display a message on the Avanti touch screen.
Specifications Continued
Gravity/Unwrapped Goods (3 minutes for nonporous items or 10 minutes for porous items)
1. Conditioning—steam flows into the chamber for a time period to remove air. The 10-minute Flash
cycle for porous items has a series of positive pulses for dynamic air removal.

Liquids
1. Conditioning—steam flows into the chamber for a time period to remove air.
2. Heat-Up—to the selected temperature.
3. Exposure—selected chamber temperature is attained and timed.
4. Exhaust—an adjustable linear exhaust.
5. Cycle Complete—tone, light and display message signals.
PERFORMANCE
When installed and connected to specified utility services, the system provides accurate and repeatable
performance.
During the timed exposure phase, the temperature will be controlled by the chamber sensor at 1.44°F (0.8°C)
above the set point (±0.1°C).
Temperature selectivity is in 0.1°F (0.1°C) increments.
Timing functions are selectable in one-second increments, and accuracy is within 0.04%.
Temperature is controlled by a time proportioning continuous algorithm, called Proportional Integral (PI).
A battery with a 10 year life holds programmed cycle values in memory.
In the event of a power interruption, current cycle status is stored for up to 1 minute.

CONTROL SYSTEM
Intuitive Touchscreen Control Streamlines Operations
The new, large 8.4” AVANTI SVGA color touch screen display makes on-screen navigation, cycle
selection and modifications to cycle parameters easier than ever. Customize your sterilization cycles
after names of surgeons or procedures for quick, accurate identification. You now have the ability to
program up to 18 different pre-vacuum cycles for increasing numbers of IFU’s with slightly different
parameters.
The operator panel is mounted above the door and provides the following features:
Getinge Sterilizers employ the PACS 3500 modular PLC control system (CPU) to monitor and control all
sterilizer operations and functions.

CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
Recessed or Freestanding With Cabinet Package
Single or Double-Door for Pass-Thru Operations
Water-Ejector Vacuum or Vacuum Pump
Stainless Steel Piping to Jacket and Chamber
CONSTRUCTION
The chamber is constructed of an inner shell reinforced by a series of “U” channels that form the outer
jacket of the chamber.
The gasket ring and backhead (on single door models) are formed and welded to the chamber body.
Chamber, door, and jacket material are constructed of 316L stainless steel.
The interior chamber finish is polished to a high luster finish.
All pressure vessel construction meets ASME code requirements for working pressures up to 45 psig
(310 kPa).
The gasket ring holds a continuous, one-piece silicone gasket, 0.63” (16 mm) in diameter.
The body assembly is thermally insulated with 1.5” fiberglass insulation and is double thick between
the jacket “U” channels.
A steam baffle is provided to prevent condensation from wetting the load.
An extra threaded opening permits passage of thermocouple leads to monitor interior and load
temperatures.
Steam connection to the chamber and jacket is 316L stainless steel material.
A manual gasket retract valve is provided for emergency chamber access.
When rack and shelves are supplied, shelf adjustments will be approximately every 2.5” (63.5 mm).
Individual rack supports and shelves are easy to remove for cleaning.

CONSTRUCTION Continued
VERTI-GLIDE DOOR
The vertical sliding door is counterbalanced for ease of operation.
When open, it is totally out of the way, allowing safe and complete access to the chamber.
Opening or closing the manual door requires only gentle upward or downward hand pressure.
Optional Power Door
Operated by a footswitch, and the door will stop automatically if an obstruction is encountered.
If the footswitch is actuated while the door is opening or closing, the direction will be reversed.
The Power Door can be opened or closed manually.
Beginning of the Cycle
Steam pressure behind the gasket automatically seals the door and retracts automatically at the end of
the cycle.
Sealing is positive and consistent.
The gasket is recessed for added protection and long life.
Once the cycle begins and the chamber is pressurized, the door cannot be opened.
A safety switch prevents steam from entering the chamber when the door is not in the sealed position.
The door is insulated with fiberglass insulation and covered with a stainless steel panel.
PANELING
The front paneling is constructed of nominal 0.050” (1.27 mm) No.3 brushed finished stainless steel
and is hinged for easy access to components, the manual gasket retract valve and, if specified, the
electric steam boiler.
The trim panels are built-in to fit within a recessed wall or optional cabinet.
When specified, the cabinet model will be made of the same material.

OPTIONAL – INTEGRAL STEAM BOILER
The carbon steel or 304L stainless steel steam boiler will have a 30 kW capacity at standard 3-phase
voltages and include an automatic fill valve to ensure the correct water
level at all times.
The unit includes ASME CSD-1 low water cut-off safety device.
The sterilizer control on/off switch controls the boiler control power (115V).
The steam boiler is automatically controlled to generate and maintain a supply of steam to the sterilizer
at a minimum of 40 psig (3.72 Bar).
An automatic feed water pump is provided as standard.
