Features and Advantages The Cloud Upgrade Kit enables a Consolidated sterilizer with an existing Advantage-Series (ADV-PB, ADV-PLUS or ADV-PRO) controller to be upgraded with the same cloud capabilities as newer-model sterilizers. Cloud Upgrade Kits give you the ability to monitor your autoclave, store all cycle data and electronically receive cycle alerts, cycle reports and preventative maintenance reminders.

Notifications for alerts such as “cycle over” and reminders such as “check gasket” can be sent via email or text message. Data Storage All sterilizer cycle data and reports are automatically transmitted and stored to a secure cloud platform. Data can be accessed, downloaded, and shared in PDF or CSV format from any device by logging into a secure website.
