Midmark M3 UltraFast® Autoclave

Video Transcript:
When it comes to purchasing an autoclave, dentists expect reliability and dependability. But they are also looking for speed and safety. Midmark, one of the most trusted names in dental sterilizers, introduces the M3 UltraFast automatic sterilizer, a state-of-the-art sterilizer that combines simplicity, intelligence and speed to deliver fast, effective sterilization of all your dental instruments. This module will introduce you to the M3 UltraFast automatic sterilizer and show how its sophisticated design and technology enable you to dramatically improve workflow by sterilizing dental instruments in as little as six minutes. In today's busy dental practices, faster sterilization can save you time and money. The M3 is the perfect solution. It's ideal for practices that have a limited inventory, instruments that can't afford to wait for conventional autoclaves to finish the sterilization cycle, and for larger high-volume practices that need a constant supply of freshly sterilized instruments in order to maximize patient flow. The M3 sterilizes unwrap cycles in only six minutes and pouch cycles in 10.5 minutes, about three and a half minutes faster than the leading competitor. With studies showing that pouch cycles account for half of all sterilization cycles in today's dental practices, the M3 is a real time saver. Faster sterilization time also minimizes heat exposure which helps to prolong the life of your costly instruments and handpieces. With 3 pre-programmed cycles to choose from unwrapped, pouches and low temp, the M3 effectively sterilizes the load without any operator assistance. The patented tray door automatically opens to begin the drying process at the end at the sterilization process. And to ensure that all instruments and packaging meet CDC guidelines for drying, after sterilization, the M3's chamber surface heaters remove moisture during the dry cycle allowing the M3 to effectively dry an instrument load in as little as 25 minutes. With the M3, there's no babysitting or worrying about when to switch to the drying cycle. All you do is load it, set it and forget it. There's more to like about the M3 then it's automatic operation. The ASME certified chamber provides 10% more capacity than similar-sized competitive sterilizers for added sterilization space. The top-fill design provides excellent visibility and convenient access to the water reservoir. The built-in water level sensor provides intelligent system monitoring and feedback. The front reservoir drain with on-board drain tube storage facilitates fast and easy draining. Connected to the back of the unit, the condensation tank efficiently traps and contains expelled steam to prevent re-contamination of your sterilized instruments. It comes with a convenient carrying handle, is opaque to hide water discoloration, and has its own water sensor to prevent overflow. Most important, your instruments are dry and ready to use at the end of every complete cycle. Designed and engineered to the same quality standards as the market-leading M11 and M9 UltraClaves, the M3 gives you sophisticated technology without the hassles. The single use water feature ensures that particles are not recycled. It offers better steam penetration as well as low maintenance and cost. The pulse-air removal technology maximizes air removal, providing better steam penetration, consistent sterilization and low system maintenance. The M3's open door heating efficiently removes moisture during the drying cycle while heaters attached to the top, bottom and front of the chamber ensure that all instruments are quickly and evenly dried. Intelligent technology in action, the M3 takes care of all the little things offering speed, simplicity and safety. The convenient push button control panel makes it easy to select and use the M3 sterilization functions. The easy-to-read LCD display indicates cycle, exposure time, temperature and pressure. The unwrapped option sterilizes instruments or handpieces at 270 degrees Fahrenheit for a cycle time of six minutes. The pouches options sterilizes pouched or loosely wrapped instruments, handpieces or cassettes at 270 degrees Fahrenheit for a cycle time of 10.5 minutes. The low temp option sterilizes unwrapped, wrapped or pouched instruments, handpieces, cassettes, rubber or plastic items at 250 degrees Fahrenheit for a cycle time of 24.5 minutes.
