GET BETTER PERFORMANCE BY DESIGN

Quality construction. Outstanding performance. Simplified operation.

Just one look will confirm that a Getinge 733HC-E Series Sterilizer is
designed with safety, productivity and longevity in mind. It features a
chamber and jacket constructed of 316L stainless steel – selected for its
superior post-weld corrosion resistance.

Along with form comes great functionality and performance. The new
8.4" touchscreen display makes it easier than ever to custom name
cycles for fast, accurate identification. The Getinge 733HC-E Loading
Car provides increased loading capacity – up to 33% compared to older

DELIVER SAFETY WITHOUT

COMPROMISE
Validated 25 pound sterilizer tray loads
The Getinge 733HC-E Series Sterilizer is compliant with AAMI ST8 for processing wrapped tray sets up to 25 pounds each.
This means that productivity can increase without risking SPD staff health or patient safety.

Model Chamber dimensions Trays per load Pounds per tray Pounds per load

733HC-E-39 26.5"W x 36"H x 39"L 10 25 250

733HC-E-53 26.5"W x 36"H x 53"L 15 25 375

733HC-E-61 26.5"W x 36"H x 61"L 20 25 500

135˚C and 132˚C validated cycles

Medical devices are becoming more complex and now manufacturer’s written instructions are becoming more differentiated.
Now, patient safety doesn’t have to be at risk when one device IFU requires a 135˚C (275˚F) three-minute cycle, and a second
IFU requires a 132˚C (270˚F) four-minute cycle. Thanks to validated gravity and pre-vacuum cycles at the AAMI ST79 minimum
exposure time for each exposure temperature, sterile processing gets easier and provides greater peace of mind.*

Cycle type Exposure temperature Exposure time

GRAVITY 2 135˚C (275˚F) 10 min

GRAVITY 3 132˚C (270˚F) 10 min

PREVAC 1 135˚C (275˚F) 3 min

PREVAC 4 132˚C (270˚F) 4 min

*Deviation from pre-programmed cycle parameters requires user validation

Clean steam construction
Getinge 733HC-E Series Sterilizer models can be
fitted with stainless steel piping to the jacket and
chamber for clean steam applications. Stainless
steel piping allows the use of steam produced from
treated water such as RO. High-quality steam can
prolong instrument life.
Vacuum source
The water ejector provides cost-effective,
maintenance-free vacuum. The Getinge 733HC-E
Series Sterilizer offers the option of mechanical
vacuum pump for dynamic air removal of the
chamber. The liquid-ring vacuum pump provides
quick, efficient chamber air evacuation. Combined
with a heat exchanger and a temperature regulated
cooling system, the vacuum pump will pull a
deep vacuum, resulting in faster cycle times with
excellent drying results.

BENEFIT FROM ECO-FRIENDLY

DESIGN AND OPERATION
Getinge is constantly working to reduce the environmental impact
of our steam sterilizers, without sacrificing quality, reliability or cycle
times. Getinge 733HC-E Series Sterilizers have been validated to
AAMI ST8 with an upper limit of 25 pounds per tray. The result is
that the per cycle productivity of Getinge 733HC-E Series Sterilizers
increased by more than 50% by instrument weight, without increasing
utility consumption. You can now sterilize more instruments, in less
time, with less energy and water.

The Getinge 733HC-E Series Sterilizers offer several systems to help

reduce water consumption and save on energy and utilities.

Vacuum pump option

• Consume up to 80% less water per cycle, compared to vacuum
ejector design without water-saver
• Pre-vacuum cycles are more efficient
• Reduce overall cycle time by up to 10%, while reducing steam
consumption by approximately 5%

RTD sensors
• Control drain discharge temperature at less than 140°F (60°C)
• RTD sensors help conserve water by cooling the steam condensate
effluent only when needed

Utilities control system

• Provides a seven-day timer for programmed startup and shutdown
of the sterilizer
• When activated, the control system shuts OFF water and steam to
the sterilizer to conserve energy

Vacuum ejector water-saver with water-chiller option

• Reuse up to 80% of vacuum ejector water
depending on load and cycle parameters
• Connect water-saver to building chilled water
loop to cool recycled ejector water
