HP-N19 is a vertical autoclave sterilizer and model 3 of 7 in the HP-N17–N23 group, the largest design family in the vertical range. Like its siblings it has a hand-wheel lid and a control panel on the upper side of the cabinet; what separates HP-N19 from HP-N18 and HP-N20 is on its data sheet, sent with the quotation.
Key Features
- Top-loading vertical chamber – baskets and dressing drums are lowered straight in from above.
- Perforated cabinet panels – as pictured, the lower cabinet panels are perforated, with the pressure gauge on the front and castor wheels underneath.
- Seven-model group – HP-N19 is listed between HP-N18 and HP-N20; ratings are confirmed per model.
- Saturated steam under pressure – the standard method for heat- and moisture-tolerant instruments, dressings and glassware.
Applications
Vertical autoclaves serve hospital wards, theatres without a central sterile department, busy clinics and microbiology labs. HP-N19 takes instrument baskets, dressing drums, textiles, glassware and media within the limits in its manual. Maternity and surgical wards that sterilize linen packs and dressing drums on site can shortlist HP-N19 alongside HP-N18 and HP-N20.
How to specify when requesting a quote
- Model – quote HP-N19; add HP-N18 and HP-N20 if you are still choosing a size.
- Freight – ask for packed dimensions and gross weight of HP-N19 to plan courier, air or sea freight.
- Baskets and drums – ask how many baskets come with HP-N19 and whether your dressing drums fit.
- Drying – for wrapped packs or linen, ask whether HP-N19 dries the load or a drying model such as HP-P11 fits better.
- Quantity and destination – units, delivery country and shipping terms.

An autoclave is both a pressure vessel and an electrical appliance, and import rules differ by country. Tell us where HP-N19 will be installed and we will confirm which pressure-vessel, electrical-safety and registration documents apply; ask for the data sheet and operating manual with your quote.
Frequently asked questions
+What is the working principle of a vertical autoclave?
Water in the base of the chamber is heated to make steam; as steam fills the sealed chamber, air is pushed out through the exhaust, pressure rises and the temperature climbs above 100 °C. Held at that temperature for the set time, saturated steam sterilizes heat- and moisture-tolerant loads. HP-N19 works on this pressure steam principle.
+How long does an autoclave take to sterilize?
The sterilizing hold is only one part of the cycle: heat-up, air removal, exhaust, cooling and any drying all add time, lower-temperature programs hold longer than higher-temperature ones, and wrapped or dense loads take longer than unwrapped instruments. The programmed temperatures and times of HP-N19 are listed in its manual, which we send with the quotation.
+How do you use a vertical autoclave machine like HP-N19?
Fill the chamber base with water to the mark, load baskets loosely, close and lock the lid, set the program and start. When the cycle ends, let pressure fall to zero and the load cool before opening. The HP-N19 manual lists its program settings.
+How does HP-N19 compare with the other HP-N17–N23 models?
All seven models in the HP-N17–N23 group share the pictured design; HP-N19 is listed between HP-N18 and HP-N20. Models in one design group usually differ in chamber size and power, so we send the data sheets for HP-N19 and its neighbors with the quotation for a side-by-side check.
