PC3-Compliant Sterilization at Nepean Hospital with the Systec HX-Series 2D
Delivered, installed, and supported in Australia by our distribution partner Bioline Global Pty Ltd.
Systec GmbH & Co. KG is pleased to highlight a major healthcare installation in Australia, carried out in close partnership with our exclusive national distributor Bioline Global Pty Ltd.
Through their specialist expertise in hospital environments, Bioline Global Pty Ltd. successfully sold, installed, validated, and commissioned a Systec HX-150 2D pass-through autoclave at the Pathology Department of Nepean Hospital in Penrith, NSW.
This project demonstrates how German-engineered high-containment sterilization technology, delivered through a knowledgeable and locally embedded partner, can solve critical challenges in advanced clinical laboratories.
The Challenge: PC3 Standards in a High-Volume Clinical Laboratory
Nepean Hospital sought a modern sterilization solution to meet PC3 laboratory requirements for handling high-risk, potentially infectious materials.To meet these standards, the hospital required a system capable of:
• Supporting PC3 contamination control through a double-door pass-through design
• Providing validated sterilization for complex and porous materials
• Delivering rapid cycle performance for urgent pathology workloads
• Integrating with the hospital’s existing infrastructure and workflows
• Meeting Australian compliance documentation requirements
This need for a high-performance solution, combined with hospital-grade installation protocols, called for a trusted supplier with proven experience in the Australian healthcare environment.
Our Solution: Systec HX-150 2D autoclave, Delivered Locally by Bioline Global Pty Ltd.
Bioline managed the complete project on behalf of Systec, ensuring an end-to-end solution tailored to the hospital’s needs.
Bioline’s responsibilities included:
• Sale of the Systec HX-150 2D autoclave to Nepean Hospital
• Project management and hospital coordination
• Delivery and on-site installation
• Commissioning and system validation
• PC3 documentation compliance
• Personnel training and certification
• Ongoing service, maintenance, and local spare parts support
System capabilities delivered by Systec:
• 150 L chamber capacity for high-throughput processing
• Vacuum technology for reliable sterilization of complex loads
• Quick cooling system for reduced cycle time and workflow optimization
• Double-door pass-through design for PC3 contamination control
• Full compatibility with hospital-grade safety protocols
The result is a high-containment sterilization system that combines German engineering precision with Australian technical execution and service continuity.
