Africa Health 2016 was a valuable Medical and Clinical Laboratory Exhibition meeting different people from all over Africa and around the World. The video below was taken during the exhibition of General Manager, Bradley Rautenbach about how he felt during the exhibition.

Rauserv Laboratory and Medical Equipment attended the Africa Health Exhibition 2016. Displaying our complete range of medical and clinical laboratory equipment. Rauserv exhibited with two of our suppliers including Mesa Labs and Mediwise Equitron.

Mesa Labs supply a large range of sterilization validation consumables including biological indicators (EZTest BI's, Spore Strips, Pro-Line PCD, Spore Suspension, Tryptic Soy Broth), chemical indicator strips (EXT, SSI, SSE, SSW, OK) and ProChem Bowie Dick Test Packs.

Rauserv has 30 years experience with large steam sterilizers and autoclaves. With our brand Rautoclave Series, we can supply any size autoclave for any application from Laboratory to Medical. 

Mediwise supply us with SANS 347 approved Equitron (SLE-FA and SLE-DD) autoclaves as well as Electric and Hydraulic Theatre / Operating tables.

Rauserv c.c. was founded in 1986 with the sole focus of maintenance and repairs of large steam sterilizers.

In 1991 Rautoclave was started with the aim to manufacture some of the best autoclaves available on the market. The main autoclaves sizes manufactured were 160 and 400 Litre Hospital Autoclaves.

In 1995 Rauserv started importing small autoclaves from all around the world for Dental, Medical and Laboratory use. At this stage the main brand of autoclaves were Rexmed or Rexall including the LS-1, LS-6A, LS-2D and RAU-530D.

In 1998 Rauserv started to expand it's product range into other Laboratory and Medical (Theatre Tables, Theatre Lights, etc) Equipment.

Rautoclave's were manufactured until 2010 when the founder fell terminally ill. Rautoclave Autoclaves are still widely in use today, some of which have been in use for over 20 years.

In 2015 Rauserv c.c. launched a whole new range of 44 new Laboratory Equipment products. These products are exceptional quality at exceptional prices.

In December 2016, Rauserv will have been in business for 30 years and has continued the legacy of providing the best possible technical backup while offering excellent pricing.

We are now relaunching the Rautoclave autoclaves as the "Rautoclave Series" available in sizes from 150 to 4275 litres custom made to the customers specifications.

Rauserv continues it's legacy:
"We Take Pride In Our Service, We Strive For Perfection and We Guarantee Satisfaction!"

The World Health Organization defines sterilization as any process, physical or chemical, that leads to the destruction of all life forms, and in particular all microorganisms in vegetative form and spore state, both pathogens and saprophytes (bacteria and fungi).
​
The EN 556-1:2002 standard defines the concept of sterile: “An article or product is considered sterile when it is free of viable microorganisms”. The standard establishes the Sterility Assurance Level (SAL), according to which the likelihood of finding a surviving microorganisms inside a sterilization batch must be lower than 1 in 1 million (SAL = 10-6).
​
True sterilization is the end result of physical and/or chemical procedures that use standardized, repeatable, and documentable methodologies with the goal of destroying all living microorganisms, both pathogens and non, in vegetative phase and as spores. Theoretical and experimental models have shown that a microbial population subjected to a sterilization process is destroyed at a rate that is a constant percentage per unit of time: only infinitely long treatment can deliver certainty of zero microbial groups; what's more, this certainty cannot be acquired through sterility tests which are destructive in nature. Consequently, today we assign a relative value to the concept of sterilization, the SAL. Sterilization is therefore a process that ensures an acceptably low probability that one of the treated articles is not sterile. It is therefore correct to define sterility as a condition in which the survival of a microorganism is highly improbable. Because microbial load is strictly linked to the presence of organic material, complete removal of the latter is an essential condition for achieving sterilization.
