Comprehensive annual testing and maintenance of sterilisation equipment for dental practices, clinics, day surgeries and veterinary centres — AS5369:2023 compliant, certificate issued on completion.
Your autoclave is one of the most critical pieces of equipment in your facility. If it fails validation, or if your qualification records aren’t in order, you’re looking at a compliance breach that can halt your operations. U-Tech Medical removes that risk with a reliable, well-documented autoclave qualification service that keeps your practice or facility perpetually audit-ready.
We carry out annual qualification, performance re-qualification after repairs or changes, and preventative maintenance visits for bench-top autoclaves across medical, dental and veterinary settings. Every service ends with a compliance certificate you can submit to your accreditation body with confidence.

AS5369:2023 requires annual qualification (APQ) as a minimum. Preventative maintenance (APM) is required every six months, typically during the annual APQ visit and again six months later. Performance re-qualification is also required after any repair, relocation, software update or significant parameter change.
Annual qualification is a comprehensive validation covering all active sterilisation cycles and is carried out once per year. Performance re-qualification is a targeted test carried out after a specific change event to confirm the unit is still within validated parameters.
Yes. Warranty is not related to the APQ and APM requirements. Validation is a compliance obligation under Australian Standards regardless of warranty status, and is also required after any repair or re-calibration.
U-Tech technicians undergo full factory training and ongoing refresher training as part of their professional development. Factory-trained technicians have the specialist tools, test equipment and access to genuine factory-certified parts required to service your autoclave correctly.
We issue a clear written report identifying the failure and recommending corrective action. We can carry out repairs, arrange a loan unit to maintain your operations, and re-qualify once the issue is resolved.
Book your autoclave qualification and have your certificate issued the same day.
