The Miele washer-disinfector is
designed to clean, rinse and thermally
disinfect re-usable equipment.
Always comply with the particular
manufacturer's instructions
(EN ISO 17664).
Examples of items that can be
processed in this appliance are
instruments, suction equipment,
transfer instruments, etc.
For standardized results, it is preferable
to machine-wash equipment.
When disinfection is required, the
preference is for thermal disinfection,
e. g., using the Disinfection vario
program.
According to the A
0
concept under
EN ISO 15883-1, thermal disinfection
occurs at 90 °C (+ 5 °C, - 0 °C) and a
holding time of 5 min (A
0
3000). The
efficacy standard A
0
3000 includes the
inactivation of HBV.
Regional and/or other official directives
may apply (e. g., §18 of the IfSG for
Germany).
The cleaning parameters should always
be optimally matched to the type of
soiling and items involved.
Processing chemicals are to be
selected to suit the particular cleaning
needs involved.
For re-usable items to be safe for
continued use, the cleaning result must
meet certain minimum standards for
disinfection, sterilization and residue
levels.
Re-usable products are best cleaned
using the Disinfection vario program.
Also important for acceptable cleaning
results on equipment is the use of
suitable loading accessories (baskets,
modules, inserts). See the section on
"Applications" for examples.
The washer-disinfector is designed to
rinse with tap water or processed water
(e.g., distilled water, pure water,
deionized water, demineralized water)
depending on the quality required for
your application(s).
Under EN ISO 15883, this
washer-disinfector is suitable for
process validation.
