The Ministry of Defence in the UK has placed an order for 50 new steriliser validation kits from the UK company Anville Instruments based in Aldershot.

The order is set to provide validation teams with advanced equipment for checking the accuracy of sterilisers and washer-disinfectors in defence medical facilities.

With responsibility for tri-service hospital, dispensary and dental facilities, the MoD’s validation teams carry out a continuous programme of steriliser and washer-disinfector validation and calibration around the world, both on land and at sea.

Calibration equipment by definition has to be robust, portable, easy to use and most importantly highly accurate. The existing paper chart recorder and logging technology was more than 10 years old and the Ministry decided to open tendering for a replacement system.

Because of the value of the contract, EU regulations demanded the bidding was opened throughout Europe. The contract was awarded to Anville, who met all the MoD requirements both technically and commercially.

The fifty steriliser validation kits currently on order each consist of an Anville Series 825 data logger, Anville EaziVal software, Anville Series 275 UKAS temperature reference, Anville Series 300 dry-block temperature bath, pressure transducer, thermocouple set, autoclave fittings and carrycase with software training provided by Anville.
