Overview of Axis Steriliser Cabinets
Axis large capacity ethylene oxide sterilisers provide an efficient solution for facilities requiring higher throughput than benchtop systems while maintaining precise process control. Designed for low temperature sterilisation at 54°C, the system allows heat-sensitive and complex devices to be processed safely and reliable.
With integrated in-chamber aeration, negative pressure aeration and flexible shelving configurations, AXIS cabinets support consistent sterilisation performance while simplifying load handing for busy clinical and production environments.

What is an AXIS Large Capacity ETO Steriliser?
AXIS large capacity ethylene oxide sterilisers provide a reliable solution for facilities requiring higher sterilisation throughput wile maintaining precise process control.
Designed for medium to large volume loads, the cabinet system enables efficient sterilisation of complex and heat-senstive equipment within a controlled ETO sterilisation cycle.
Key features include:
- Low temperature sterilisation at 54°C
- Suitable for delicate instruments and materials
- Double-walled stainless steel cabinet construction
- For durability and thermal stability
- Negative pressure operation
- To safely extract ethylene oxide gas
- Integrated exhaust system
- For controlled gas removal
- In-chamber aeration included within the sterilisation cycle
The standard 16-hour cycle incorporates aeration, meaning instruments and materials can be safely handed immediately after processing.
Designed for reliability, safety, and ease of operation, AXIS cabinet deliver consistent sterilisation performance for demanding clinical and production environments.
Who are the AXIS large capacity sterilisers suited for?
AXIS large capacity ETO sterilisers are designed for facilities that require reliable sterilisation of larger instrument volumes while maintaining controlled, low-temperature processing.
They are particularly suited to organisations that need increased sterilisation capacity without moving to full industrial systems.
Typical users include:
-
Hospital departments and sterile services units (CSSD) processing specialist instruments
-
Large veterinary hospitals and veterinary groups sterilising laparoscopic and surgical equipment
-
Medical device production facilities preparing sterile products
-
Clinical environments requiring higher throughput than benchtop systems can provide
The cabinet design allows multiple loads to be processed across adjustable shelving, maximising chamber capacity while maintaining flexible loading options.
Integrated cycle logging also supports facilities that require traceability and documentation for each sterilisation cycle, including chamber pressure, temperature and cycle duration.
