90-Day Warranty

Getinge 433HC Vacuum/Steam Sterilizer

  • 4.6 Cu. Ft chamber
  • Temperature range: 219°F to 275°F
  • Up to 22 cycles
  • 90-day warranty

The Getinge 433HC Vacuum/Gravity Steam Sterilizers employ both gravity/downward displacement with positive pulse conditioning and pressure/vacuum pulsing for dynamic air removal. Up to 22 cycles can be easily accessed in two easy steps. Custom cycle names can be designated for each cycle and re-ordered for easy access. All cycle phases are sequenced and monitored by the control system, providing both audible and visual notification of deviation from key operating parameters.

The 433HC is ideal for general-purpose gravity or vacuum steam sterilization of hospital instruments and supplies. The selectable temperature range is from 230°F to 275°F (110°C to 135°C) and from 219°F to 275°F (104°C to 135°C) for liquid cycles. Applications include wrapped and unwrapped porous and non-porous hard goods, gowns or towel packs and liquids in self-venting or unsealed containers. The liquid exhaust is microcomputer controlled for linear and consistent liquid cool down, programmable within a specified range.

Getinge Sterilizers employ a Hitachi 20 MHz microprocessor on a dedicated controller (CPU) with 8 MB of RAM. The control panel consists of an operator interface panel (called OP30), a thermal printer, mechanical chamber and jacket pressure gauges, status indicators, active touch sensitive switches, and controls On/Off switch. Controls are located above the door for convenience. An internal deflection barrier routes steam vapor and moisture away from the door and behind the electronic controls to maintain temperatures at or below temperature limits. The OP30 user interface panel is a durable 1/4 VGA 5.7” diagonal color screen with 320 x 240 pixels. Below the screen are five soft keys to access other screens or displays and to make changes to cycle parameters.

Audible and visible operator feedback is provided when a selection is made, or a fault message is displayed. Temperature can be set, controlled, and displayed in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit and pressure in psia, bar or kPa.

The chamber drain is continuously monitored for the presence of water during a cycle. If water is detected and cannot be automatically corrected, a high-water alarm alerts the user.

Most of our equipment is used and reconditioned. Our technicians test all equipment to confirm that it operates properly and to the manufacturer’s specifications. While we can’t test for a specific analytical application, we will do our best to simulate the conditions under which the equipment will be run. If you have particular testing requirements or requests please let us know and we’ll work with you to make sure these requirements are addressed during testing.

The photos above are representative. Please bear in mind that the equipment shown is currently in storage in our warehouse and that in addition to testing each machine we will clean all the equipment thoroughly prior to shipment. We often have multiple units of each model in stock and sometimes we're unable to feature photos of every single unit. At your request, we can provide photos of the equipment in your order after it has been tested and cleaned.

FAQ

Does the equipment come with a warranty?

Yes, all equipment from American Instrument Exchange comes with a warranty.
Used/reconditioned/refurbished equipment is tested to make sure it operates to the manufacturer’s specifications and comes with a 90-day warranty (unless otherwise noted). New equipment comes with a warranty from the manufacturer.

How do you test and recondition the equipment?

Testing requirements vary across all the equipment categories we sell. Temperature controlled units are tested with NIST traceable probes and data loggers. Gaskets, external housing, glass, handles, controls and control screens are all thoroughly inspected for integrity and functionality.
We test all equipment using the manufacturer's parameters and specifications to confirm that the unit operates properly. While we may not be able to test for specific analytical applications we do our best to simulate the conditions under which the equipment will be used in your lab. If you have particular testing requirements please let us know and we’ll work with you to make sure these are addressed during testing. 

How do products ship from American Instrument Exchange?

We can ship products both nationally and internationally using a well-established network of transporters. Smaller items will ship via UPS. Larger equipment will be palletized and shipped either LTL or air-ride, depending on the specific equipment and/or delivery requirements. In many cases we can offer inside delivery. Customers are also welcome to make pick-up arrangements using their own preferred carrier. 

All shipments are FOB Haverhill, MA. American Instrument Exchange will take reasonable steps to protect the equipment during shipment and the equipment will be fully insured. The customer will be charged for all shipping and handling charges, and fees incurred in the process of delivering the order.  

For local customers in and around New England we can offer shipping and delivery using a local moving company trained by our staff to handle and deliver lab equipment. Our local movers can provide either standard dock-to-dock delivery or bring the equipment into your lab and set it in place. 

Prior to signing the POD (Proof of Delivery), you are responsible for inspecting the goods for any damage.  You MUST note any damage on the POD prior to letting the driver leave.  This is to protect you, the receiver of the goods in the unlikely event of any damage.  Once you sign the POD free and clear from damage, the goods are then deemed delivered in good order and no further claims would be applicable.  This is the standard for all transportation so we want to protect you, our valued client.

American Instrument Exchange will accept the return of any product that is not working as represented and could not be replaced or repaired to the customer’s satisfaction by American Instrument or a technician hired by/vetted by American Instrument Exchange’s during the warranty period. The customer will be responsible for proper packaging of the equipment and all included accessories. 

Customers who cancel orders after refurbishing has begun or after delivery where there are no equipment performance issues will be subject to a cancellation and restocking fee of between 20% and 40% and responsible for the full total of the  shipping & handling costs for both the delivery and the return of the equipment. 

Are discounts available for educational or non-profit institutions, or for bulk purchases?

Yes – call or email us today with a list of equipment you’re looking for and we can potentially put together a quote that includes a discount. 

How does your price matching policy work?

We strive to keep our pricing competitive and reasonable. If you find comparable items for sale at a lower price from other vendors please send us a link and or quote for the item and we’ll do our best to match or beat the price.

Can I see the equipment in person before committing to a purchase?

Customers are welcome to make an appointment to view equipment in our warehouse. Given our workload we may not be able to test or clean the equipment prior to your arrival if you have not committed to an order. 

1023 Western Avenue is a working warehouse, not a showroom, and customers should dress appropriately and wear closed toe shoes.

Can I ship products that I purchased elsewhere to American Instrument for repair?

Yes – please see our repair services page for more information.
