THIS WASHER ELIMINATES MANUAL CLEANING
Many surgery centers continue to clean surgical instruments by hand.
This process includes manual scrubbing, exposure to sharps and chemicals, and
many steps that are prone to human error. Miele compact washer-disinfectors
G7899 and G7889 provide an affordable method to automatically clean and
disinfect surgical instruments. Even instruments with long, narrow lumens such as
rigid endoscopes or laparoscopic instruments can be processed. The washerdisinfector controls and monitors all critical parameters (time, temperature, pump
pressure, dispensing) and creates an error condition should anything go wrong.
A printer can be connected to verify and document that each cycle was
successfully completed. The Miele Vario TD program is proven to remove blood
and protein residues that have dried on surgical instruments for up to 6 hours.
The final step is a thermal disinfection, so that instruments coming out of the
washer are safe to handle for inspection and packaging for sterilization.
