Operating theatre shoes
OP shoes made of thermolabile
material and/or insoles can be cleaned
and disinfected chemo-thermally at
60 °C with the CHEM-DISIN
programme.
A thermal disinfection process
(SHOE-TD programme) can be used if
thermostability has been confirmed by
the manufacturer.
To establish the effectiveness of
chemical disinfecting agents for
chemo-thermal disinfection, consult the
manufacturer.
Theatre (OP) shoes should only be
cleaned and disinfected in a
machine installed specifically for this
purpose.
A risk evaluation should be carried
out by the user when using other
applications in addition to the
preparation of OP (Theatre) shoes in
the washer-disinfector.
The following baskets can be used:
– O 167 for theatre shoes up to size
40,
– O 173 for theatre shoes up to size
41, and
– U 168/1 for theatre shoes up to size
45 .
Alternatively insert E 484 can be used
in a suitable bottom basket, e. g. U 874
together with holder E 487 for shoes or
E 489 for insoles.
A large amount of fluff can build up
in the machine when cleaning
theatre shoes. The filters in the wash
cabinet should be checked regularly
and cleaned when necessary. See
"Maintenance, Cleaning the filters in
the wash cabinet".
