The cleaning result must ensure that
instruments can be disinfected
correctly, that no residues are left
behind, that subsequent sterilisation
can be carried out and that the
instruments can be used again safely.
Medical devices are best reprocessed
using the DESIN vario TD programme,
or the ORTHOVARIO or OXIVARIO
programme where applicable.
The use of a suitable carrier (mobile
unit, module, insert etc.) is important to
ensure the adequate cleaning of the
load. Examples are given in the section
"Areas of application".
The washer-disinfector is programmed
to carry out the final rinse with mains
water or with processed water of a
quality to suit the application (e.g. aqua
destillata, purified water, de-ionised
water, demineralised water). The water
quality is of particular importance for
applications requiring analytically clean
laboratory glassware.
This washer-disinfector complies with
EN ISO 15883 for validation purposes.
User profile
Daily operatives
Operatives using the machine daily
should be familiar with the basic
functions of the machine and its loads
and trained on a regular basis. They
require basic knowledge about how to
reprocess medical devices by
machine.
Generally they would be using the
machine in Operating levels A and C.
Supervisory level
More advanced functions such as
interrupting or cancelling a programme
requires more in-depth knowledge
about machine reprocessing of medical
devices.
This level of functionality is carried out
in Operating level B.
Service and Administration
Changes to processing methods and
alterations to the washer-disinfector,
e.g. concerning the type of accessories
used in it or the conditions in which the
machine is used requires additional
knowledge about the machine.
Validation also requires additional
knowledge about how to reprocess
medical devices, which procedure to
use and any Standards and regulations
that may apply.
Service and validation work is carried
out using Operating level D.
