A glass bead sterilizer complements, rather than replaces, a full autoclave program. Confirm its suitability for your instruments and protocols with your infection control officer.

No water, ever

Never add water or any liquid to the heating chamber. This unit operates entirely on dry heat.

Cool completely first

Allow the unit to reach room temperature before cleaning or maintenance.

Metal instruments only

Do not insert plastic or heat sensitive components. The chamber reaches up to 240°C.

Clean beads regularly

Clean the glass beads approximately every two weeks. Replace them every three months or as the manufacturer recommends.

Keep the chamber clear

Remove debris from the chamber and keep it clean between sessions.

Handle instruments hot

Instruments are extremely hot after processing. Use appropriate forceps or handling tools.

Dry storage

Store in a clean, dry environment when not in use.

Professional use only

Operate according to the manufacturer’s instructions and applicable infection control protocols.

Read before use: the chamber and instruments reach temperatures up to 240°C. This page is for product information only and is not clinical guidance. The UPD-14 must be operated by trained dental or medical professionals in line with the manufacturer’s instructions for use and all applicable local infection control regulations.
