Instruments suitable for processing in a thermal disinfector
All instruments, accessories, and other items to be cleaned and disinfected in the DEKO 260
Washer Disinfector should have the following properties:
- Heat resistant to a temperature of up to 138
0
C
- Corrosion resistance in the presence of heat and alkalinity
The high heat retention capacity of stainless steel allows for fast drying. Plastics and rubber have
a lower heat retention capacity, thus needing a longer drying time. In this case a machine with an
integrated drying unit and/or a separate drying cabinet is recommended.
Aluminium discolours. Aluminium only has a limited suitability for processing in this machine.
Carbon steel may corrode in the process. Please try the corrosion resistance of carbon steel
instruments with initially one instrument, or do not process carbon steel items at all.
Dental hand pieces, drill bits, grinders, root canal instruments or other rotating instruments only
have a limited suitability for the thermal disinfector. Please ask the manufacturer's advice on the
suitability for processing their items in this system.
Rhodium coated specula must be arranged so that their surfaces do not suffer any mechanical
damage. Not all specula with glass are suitable for machine treatment.
In case you have any questions regarding the suitability of instruments for being processed in the
DEKO 260 Washer Disinfector, please contact the instrument manufacturer for advice.
