DESIGN AND TECHNICAL FEATURES
FOB5 autoclave series has a wide range of chamber volumes and come with both single and double vertical sliding door:
- FOB5C-TS: 362 liters – single vertical sliding door.
- FOB5-TS: 455 liters – single vertical sliding door.
- FOB5S-TS: 481 liters – double vertical sliding door.
- FOB5SL-TS: 590 liters – double vertical sliding door.
- FOB5L-TS: 615 liters – single vertical sliding door.
- FOB5SXL-TS: 7698 liters – double vertical sliding door.
- FOB5XL-TS: 729 liters – single vertical sliding door.
FOB5 series can be designed with a single or double stainless steel sealing flange (BIOSEAL), making it suitable for laboratory risk category L3 and L4 and operating theater. FOB5 Lab Sterilizers have two high-efficiency internal 316L stainless steel plates which can be used as heat-exchanger system for steam preheating, to cool the chamber temperature down by using cold water.
Moreover – as an option – these plates can be used to perform final drying.
FOB5 autoclaves are made of 316L stainless steel as well as pneumatic valves and hydraulic components.
Full and easy accessibility to technical area from the front and lateral side allows service and regular maintenance. External trolleys are fully compatible with FGW Fedegari Glassware Washer Series to assure integration between cleaning and sterilization processes in your laboratory.
FOB5 series is equipped with DCS20 process controller: 30 cycles easy to customize in a multi-user environment. Large touch-screen color display and interface for remote monitoring via Ethernet control. DCS20 process controller is fully validated and documented.

RECOMMENDED KIT
DCS20
The DCS20 process controller was specially designed for laboratory machines manufactured by Fedegari.
The result is a modular system that offers a wide range of functions and high reliability.
The system includes a supervisor module and other individual ones dedicated to specific functions such as: programs management, cycles, phases, configurations, and alarms for the module.
Options
- REMOTE GUI allows remote connection to a PC by Ethernet connection. This connection allows the operator to view the machine display on the desktop.
- REMOTE CONTROL allows remote connection to a PC by the Ethernet connection port. This connection allows the operator to fully interact with the machine. This excludes door closing and data backup operations.
Data management in compliance with the requirements of the 21 CFR PART 11 protocol.
Life cycle and Validation
DCS20 is designed, developed, tested, maintained, and validated according to a defined life cycle according to regulatory requirements stated in the current GMP.
Life cycle management complies with FDA 21 CFR Part 11, up to the current operational stage in defining product management practices in accordance with the principles of the GAMP5 guideline.
According to the system classification defined in GAMP 5 – Appendix M4 Categories of Software and Hardware, DCSPLUS20 is classified as:
- Software Category 4 – Configurable system
- Hardware Category 1 – Standard hardware components
Tests on software and hardware components are performed, during project and engineering activities, by applying functional risk analysis according to ALCOA+ principles, as defined in the Change Control procedure, dedicated to DCS20, part of the Fedegari Quality System.
