HP-N15 is model 3 of 4 in the HP-N13–N16 group: a top-loading vertical autoclave machine that seals with one hand wheel on the lid instead of a ring of clamps. That means a single closing action for the operator; the HP-N15 manual gives the closing and opening steps.
Key Features
- Top-loading vertical chamber – baskets and dressing drums are lowered straight in from above.
- Single hand-wheel closure – as pictured, one spoked wheel on top of the lid closes the chamber, above a front panel with a gauge and a digital display.
- Four-model group – HP-N15 is listed between HP-N14 and HP-N16; ratings are confirmed per model.
- Verifiable cycles – checked with chemical indicators in each pack and routine biological tests.
Applications
HP-N15 suits sites that need more capacity than a table top unit without a CSSD: district hospitals, maternity and surgical wards, university labs and veterinary hospitals. University and hospital labs that open and close the chamber many times a day can compare HP-N15 with HP-N14 and HP-N16.

Frequently asked questions
+What capacity do vertical autoclaves have?
A vertical range normally covers several chamber volumes in the same top-loading design, so the choice comes down to your largest basket or drum and your loads per day. The HP-N13–N16 group spans four models; the exact volume of HP-N15 is confirmed on its data sheet with the quotation.
+How often should an autoclave be tested?
Most infection-control guidance combines checks on every cycle (time, temperature, pressure and chemical indicators in each pack) with a biological spore test at least weekly and after repairs; vacuum-type units also run a daily air-removal test. Follow your local rules and the HP-N15 manual for safety-valve and maintenance checks.
+How do you use a vertical steam sterilizer?
Top up water, load baskets loosely, close and seal the lid, select or set temperature and time, run the cycle, then let the chamber exhaust and cool until the gauge reads zero before opening. Follow the HP-N15 manual for water type, load limits and program settings.
+How does HP-N15 compare with the other HP-N13–N16 models?
All four models in the HP-N13–N16 group share the pictured design; HP-N15 is listed between HP-N14 and HP-N16. Models in one design group usually differ in chamber size and power, so we send the data sheets for HP-N15 and its neighbors with the quotation for a side-by-side check.
