1. Our technicians use high pressure and high temperature data loggers to map the internal chamber pressure, heat and penetration over time at various locations inside your autoclave. It is important to also identify your chamber “cold spot”.
2. In addition to this we conduct steam penetration and bio enzymatic tests with a challenge pack and full challenge load. We place sealed vials of bacterial media inside your autoclave in specific locations and run multiple test cycles, we then incubate the vials to ensure the cycle was effective and all bacteria was killed.
3. We plug the autoclave into our electrical safety analyser which runs through a series of electrical tests to ensure the autoclave is safe to operate.
4. Visual examination of door locking hardware, seals, chamber, pumps and general condition of the autoclave.
5. Issue you with your autoclave validation certificate and report.
All our processes are completed in line with manufacturers recommendations and Australian Standards and can take up to 4 hours to correctly complete.

Absolutely. You will definitely need to have your autoclave validated even if it has been serviced regularly. Servicing your autoclave is also a very important task but is not the same as autoclave validation.
Autoclave validation checks to confirm that the heat, time, pressure and steam penetration of the autoclave are performing correctly and reaching the correct values and that bacteria is killed as a result.
Autoclave servicing is completed in line with the manufacturers requirements to ensure things like filters, seals, sensors, pumps, and chamber are correctly maintained to avoid breakdowns and faults from occurring. Similar to taking your car to the mechanic for a service. Service intervals will depend upon the type of autoclave and frequency of use, some practices may require a service annually others quarterly.
Autoclave Validation is a mandatory requirement and is required normally every 12 months sometimes more frequently depending upon frequency of use any changes that may have been made to the autoclave or sterilisation cycle and calibration history.
Most definitely! Our highly trained and experienced technicians can carry our routine services on your autoclave, validations and emergency repairs quickly and cost effectively. We also have loan units on hand ready to be dispatched to our clients in the case of a breakdown to minimise loss of income from the downtime associated with autoclave breakdowns.

Yes. NES Group can also test and tag regular electrical equipment in accordance with AS 3760 in the same visit to minimise disruption to your practice and managing of multiple testing companies and testing registers at surprisingly affordable rates even though our technicians are specialised, we offer this service at the same rate as most electricians and test and tag companies to make life easier for our customers.
No. Medical equipment testing is a specialised service and has different standards to basic electrical testing and tagging and needs to be function tested with specialised biomedical testing equipment to simulate and calibrate the specific piece of medical equipment. Testing of medical equipment cannot be carried out by general electrical testing and tagging companies or general electricians as this is a specialised service that requires knowledge of medical equipment and its application.
If we find equipment that is out of calibration or requires attention we will either fix it on the spot if the fault is minor, usually at no charge if parts are not required. If parts are required we can provide you with a obligation free quote for repair or replacement depending upon the cost to repair and the age of the piece of equipment. We can supply loan equipment to our testing customers to ensure that there is no disruption to your practice and no issues with compliance as part of our testing and calibration service.
Medical equipment testing and calibration is a crucial task which is required by Australian Standards to be carried out regularly and in line with an equipment maintenance plan as well as to the manufacturers specified calibration intervals. We recommend testing annually to ensure compliance with AS3551, RACGP and AGPAL requirements.
Routine testing and calibration ensures that your medical devices are performing correctly and delivering peace of mind for patients and providers while maintaining practice accreditations. NES Group Medical qualified technicians are trained and have the required equipment to thoroughly inspect and test all medical equipment/devices in accordance with AS 3551 and specific state/territory legislative requirements in a convenient and cost effective way.
