Midmark Introduces New M9 and M11 Steam Sterilizers

Midmark has announced the launch of its new Midmark M9 and M11 Steam Sterilizers. These sterilizers are designed with durability and ease-of-use in mind, with features aimed at streamlining instrument processing and documentation compliance, according to a press release from Midmark.

"Effective instrument processing starts with dependable equipment and a simple, standardized workflow," said in the press release by Michael Couch, marketing director at Midmark Dental. "Next generation Midmark M9 and M11 Steam Sterilizers are designed with dental clinicians in mind, providing durability, automation, and easy-to-use operation to deliver safe, efficient care.”

Key features of the new sterilizers include:

• A user interface with a clear, fingerprint-resistant 5-inch touchscreen, usable with gloves and containing both a light and dark mode.
• Compliance recordkeeping that device reminders, user authentication, and automated cycle recordkeeping help for optimal audit readiness.
• A re-engineered chamber that reportedly increases device life to 25,000 cycles, reducing maintenance frequency by more than half.
• Lower operating and care costs compared to competitive models.
• The dynamic-air-removal steam sterilizers provide preset cycles that meet CDC and AAMI recommendations for wrapped instruments.
• Optional Autofill + Auto-Drain enables fresh water for every cycle, easing the burden on staff.

The units are inspected and certified to the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code by a licensed third-party inspector, per the press release. Accessories are available to optimize instrument processing, including a cool hand tool, USB kit, vertical cassette rack, and pouch racks.
