Flight Clave16+ 16L Class S Autoclave for Clinics in Canada

The Flight Clave16+ is a compact 16-litre tabletop steam sterilizer for dental, medical, veterinary, podiatry, chiropody, tattoo and beauty offices. Flight Dental Systems is a Canadian-owned manufacturer based in Brampton, Ontario. Many listings call this model the "Flight Clave 16" or "Clave16". The current version is the Clave16+. The Flight Clave16+ is Health Canada licensed.

The Clave16+ is a Class S sterilizer. An independent steam generator injects pulses of pressurized steam into the chamber, which pushes air out through the drain before sterilization starts. Flight says this removes air more completely than older heating-element units that rely on downward displacement. It also means less mineral build-up to clean out of the chamber.

Flight compares the 16L chamber to a Statim: the Clave16+ holds more, with similar sterilization times.

Why clinics choose the Clave16+

Fast cycles in a bigger chamber

Sterilization hold times at 134 °C are 4 minutes for unwrapped loads, 6 minutes for wrapped loads and 10 minutes for rubber and textiles. The 9″ × 14.2″ chamber holds three trays.

Instruments come out dry

A built-in compressor drives air-assisted drying with the door closed. Flight rates the drying stage at about 30 minutes, so instruments are dry and ready to use when the cycle ends.

Cycle records without extra paperwork

Every cycle can be printed on the built-in printer and saved to the included USB key as a .txt file that opens on any PC. The internal memory holds 9,999 cycles. Automatic records support inspection readiness for College and Health Department audits. They are not a compliance guarantee, so please check your own college's or health authority's requirements.

Built to be serviced

The Clave16+ has a powder-coated solid steel housing, a 304 stainless steel chamber, quality parts made in Europe and removable panels for easy servicing. The water pump, circuit board, steam generator, heat exchanger and solenoid valves are all separate components. Flight stress tests every unit for quality and reliability.
