Abstract
A condensate collector is combined with a sterilizer support base that includes a base housing having a holding shelf slidably mounted within a cavity in the base housing, and top surface for receiving and supporting a sterilizer unit. The condensate collector is fixedly attached at a front edge of the top surface so that a first edge of a drain surface of the condensate collector is positioned near a vertical surface of the sterilizer unit through which a sterilization chamber of the sterilizer unit is accessed, and a second edge of the drain surface is positioned over an area defined by the holding shelf. The drain surface is pitched toward the second edge, and further includes first and second rails respectively positioned along at least a portion of third and fourth edges of the drain surface. The drain surface thereby enables condensation flowing from the sterilization chamber to be discharged into the holding shelf.
