Examples of Tuttnauer TVET 11E Maintenance
To tell you more about our program, we’re using the the maintenance schedules of one of Tuttnauer’s best automatic veterinary autoclaves, the Tvet 11E Veterinary Autoclave.

How Was That All Related?
All of this was related to the thought process of our Free Preventative Maintenance Program. While those instructions were not word-for-word, that basic summary, the article we’ve written on this subject, and the parts and materials we sell should give you a bit of insight. We have the know-how on how it should work, a variety of parts for selection should yours not work, and our free tech support to help you schedule, order parts if needed, and time your maintenance so that your autoclave CAN work.

Final Thoughts
A huge part of any practice is ensuring that all equipment is running safely and efficiently. If it’s not working properly you can have a sudden failure or not get equipment properly sterilized. With different manufacturers come different autoclaves, which means different maintenance methods. Maintenance scheduling and instructions can be daunting. Add more than one machine and that task becomes even more complex. But that’s why we’re here to help at no cost anytime you need. The purpose of our Free Scican Preventive Maintenance Program is to remove the stress and worry of what maintenance is due for which machine, and when it’s time for it to be done.
We’ll be there to remind you when things need cleaning or replacing. And you’ve got 24/7 access to our library of videos and articles about anything you may need help with. With all these extras you can focus on your practice and patients instead of the equipment. So you can sit back and relax until you hear from us again!
