Autoclave & Sterilizer Repair in Kelowna and the Okanagan

Services for Okanagan clinics, labs and studios

Autoclave and sterilizer repair in Kelowna

We diagnose on site and repair to manufacturer specifications. We carry a wide selection of OEM replacement parts on our service vehicles, so door seals, sensors, heaters and other wear items can often be replaced during the visit. This is medical and laboratory sterilizer repair, not household appliance repair: we work on steam autoclaves used to reprocess instruments and lab materials.

Dental sterilizer and dental equipment repair

Dental offices rely on tabletop sterilizers and ultrasonic cleaners every day. We repair and maintain dental sterilizers from the brands Okanagan practices use most, and help you keep instrument reprocessing moving.

Lab autoclave service

University, research and industrial labs need high-throughput sterilizers that run reliably. We supply, install and service large Tuttnauer autoclaves, including the 5596 and 66 series, and we look at the details that shorten component life, such as feed-water quality. See why water quality matters.

Preventive maintenance

A maintenance visit includes inspection and testing of door seals, valves, sensors, heating and controls, calibration checks against manufacturer specifications, an operational cycle test, and a written findings report. Details: autoclave maintenance & calibration.

Spore testing and verification support

When a biological indicator fails, we troubleshoot sterilizer performance and help you get back to passing results. Our records give you a clear evidence trail that supports inspection readiness. Requirements vary by college and facility type, and we do not guarantee inspection outcomes.

Sterilizer sales and ultrasonic cleaners

We sell tabletop and large and lab sterilizers from Flight Clave and Tuttnauer, plus ultrasonic cleaners. Call for a Quote on any model.

Common faults we fix
