Wash pressure and spray arm monitoring
The washer-disinfector is equipped with a sensor for monitoring the
wash pressure during the active cleaning process stages.
Spray pressure monitoring is carried out according to the general
validation guideline and routine monitoring of machine cleaning and
disinfection processes for thermostable medical devices of the
Deutsche Gesellschaft fuer Krankenhaushygiene e.V. (German
Society for Hospital Hygiene) (DHKG), the Deutsche Gesellschaft fuer
Sterilgutversorgung e.V. (German society for sterile supplies) (DGSV)
and the Arbeitskreis Instrumentenaufbereitung (Instrument
Reprocessing Working Group) (AKI) in accordance with
EN ISO 15883.
The result of the spray pressure monitoring is recorded via the
process documentation.
Spray arm speed can also be monitored, e.g. for prompt detection of
blockages due to misloading or foam in the water circulation system.
Spray arm monitoring can be activated or deactivated by the Miele
Customer Service Department.
