With the introduction of da Vinci racks (Si and Xi)
in the US, Getinge now provides reprocessing for
central sterile departments with comprehensive
robotics instrumentation.
Each da Vinci Si and da Vinci Xi rack holds up to eight Si
or Xi EndoWrist instruments, equal to two full surgical sets
plus two spares. This generous capacity helps promote an
increase in the number of da Vinci surgeries that can be
scheduled daily. Both the Si and Xi rack can be used in
conjunction with Getinge's 4-level wash cart, and the Si
rack can accommodate Si Base, Single Site and Stapler
EndoWrist instruments all in the same process.
The validated Getinge racks, coupled with a dedicated,
advanced frequency-pulsating processing program, make
it possible to rinse and disinfect complex da Vinci
EndoWrist instruments in Getinge's 86 Series Washer-
Disinfectors and installed base of 88 Turbo units. 86 Series
Washer-Disinfectors' high-capacity chambers are designed
to accommodate up to 18 DIN trays per cycle. This helps
ensure uninterrupted surgical workflows and eliminates the
risk that critical instrument sets may not be available when
and where they are needed.
The S-8668T Washer-Disinfector from Getinge features turbo
(multitasking) functionality that reduces the non-productive
time needed for filling and draining process water. This
efficiency reduces process time by as much as 25% — no
comparably sized unit is more productive.
Getinge high-capacity washer-disinfectors feature an intuitive
user interface that displays only the information operators
need at each critical point in the cycle. This streamlined
communication helps reduce the potential for human error.
The large, 7-≠inch high-resolution color screens are easy to
read and staff can monitor cycle progress, even at a distance.
From pre-cleaning, manual cleaning and ultrasonic
cleaning through thermal disinfection, prep and pack,
instrument tracking and sterilization, Getinge has the
reprocessing solution.
