Meet regulatory decontamination requirements with rented autoclaves, ultrasonic cleaners, washer-disinfectors, and tracking systems on flexible terms.
Dental sterilization is a regulatory requirement in every country where dentistry is practised. A properly equipped decontamination room typically includes a washer-disinfector (or ultrasonic cleaner), packaging equipment, a Class B autoclave, and a traceability system. Rental agreements include annual validation as mandated by EN 13060, HTM 01-05, and equivalent standards.

| Washer-disinfector (bench-top) | ISO 15883 compliant | $180 / month |
| Washer-disinfector (under-counter) | ISO 15883, thermal A0 = 3000 | $240 / month |

| Sealer / pouch-sealing machine | Impulse sealer, validation | $30 / month |
A Class B autoclave is required for sterilizing porous loads such as wrapped instruments, hollow items, handpieces, and tubular devices. It uses a pre-vacuum cycle to remove air before steam penetration. A Class S autoclave is suitable for a more limited range of loads defined by the manufacturer and is not suitable for wrapped instruments or hollow items in most European jurisdictions.
Most European regulators (including CQC, ANSM, and the German RKI) require a Class B autoclave for full compliance in a multi-use instrument practice.
EN 13060 annual validation (type test, operational test, performance qualification) included in rental — no hidden costs.
Autoclaves require Type 3 water (conductivity ≤15 µS/cm). Suppliers can include a distilled water unit in the rental package.
Modern autoclaves record all cycle data electronically. Integration with instrument tracking software available.
A failed autoclave is a patient safety issue. Rental agreements include next-day replacement guarantee.
Yes — EN 13060 requires an annual performance qualification (PQ) test by a competent person. This is included in all Dental.Rent autoclave rental agreements and the documentation is acceptable to dental regulatory inspectors.
Yes — short-term rentals from 1 month are available. A portable Class B unit can be delivered, set up, and validated within 5 business days.
Under-counter washer-disinfectors require a cold-water supply (15 mm inlet), a drain connection, and a 230 V (Europe) or 110/220 V (North America) power supply. Site survey is conducted before installation.
Rental agreements include a breakdown guarantee with next-business-day replacement. In most major cities, a loan autoclave can be delivered same-day.
