Another steriliser for the Diospi Suyana mission hospital in Peru
In October 2007, German doctors Dr Martina and Dr Klaus-Dieter John and their team opened the Diospi Suyana mission hospital in Peru. The new, modern hospital for the rural Indian population was built entirely with donations and continues to provide free care to the mostly needy population. The Diospi Suyana hospital needed a new steriliser capable of sterilising four containers of instruments at a time. The owners of the Lautenschläger company in Cologne have been friends with Diospi Suyana for many years. This time they radically reduced the bill for the new purchase by half. The Aumund Foundation also wants to support the work of the hospital in 2023 and has taken over the second half of the bill. Diospi Suyana is very grateful to the decision makers for taking over the costs.

5 Years Fully Electric Car Fleet
Since purchasing the first fully electric car in 2017, Lautenschläger has relied on electromobility and is thus also making a significant contribution to environmental protection in its car-fleet.
Only fully electric cars have been procured for the last 5 years, so that the car fleet is now almost completely electric. The electricity for these vehicles cis produced by the photovoltaic plant installed in 2020 in our facilities and is therefore 100% from renewable sources.
The next steps are already planned: With the growing fleet of electric vehicles, the demand for electricity at our Cologne facility is also increasing - additional solar technology should cover this demand. We are also following current developments in electrified commercial vehicles and vans and we expect the first electric service vehicles being in operation very soon.

Lautenschläger - Powered by the Sun
Ressource efficiency and environmental protection of our products and in our production facilities is one of our primary business objectives. Now, we completed the next step to a sustainable sterilizer production.
A new photovoltaic system was put into operation at our production site in Cologne. The amount of electricity generated covers the need for electrical energy for lighting and equipment across the entire site. The system also produces energy for our charging stations for electric vehicles. From now on, electricity only has to be purchased to cover peak loads.

A New Sterilizer for the Mission Hospital Diospi Suyana in Peru
In October 2007 the mission hospital Diospi Suyana in the Peruvian Andes opened its doors. The married couple Dr. Klaus-Dieter John and Dr. Martina John built and run a modern hospital financed by donations funds to improve the in- and out-patient medical care for the mostly Indian rural population. With the last increase in the number of operating theaters, it became necessary to also increase the sterilizer capacities for surgical instruments. We did not miss the opportunity to provide Diospy Suyana a fourth steam sterilizer - a ZentraCERT 3200 with 4 StU capacity. We are pleased that we were able to support this great success story!

Lautenschläger introduces electronic Bowie-Dick Test
For more than 15 years, Lautenschläger offers the DMA as an integrated process challenge device and process control system. The new measuring module BD upgrades the DMA to work as an electronic Bowie-Dick test. Additional cycle control systems are no longer necessary and the daily Bowie-Dick test no longer requires a standard test pack or any other alternative indicator system. Most older DMAs installed in Lautenschläger sterilizers are economically upgradeable with the new measuring module.
