In the U.K. reference should be made
to your local infection control officer for
guidelines of disinfection temperatures
and holding times at temperature in
accordance with HTM 2030.
In Germany, the parameters for
disinfection of a temperature of 93 °C,
with a holding time of 10 minutes,
correspond to effective areas A and B.
These have been adopted into the
official list for disinfection of instruments
in washer-disinfectors and
decontamination units, according to
section 3.2 § 18 IfSG by the Robert
Koch Institute (RKI) in Berlin (institute
for infectious diseases and non-
communicable illnesses). (Programme
DESIN-BSG-93/10).
The effective areas are defined as
follows:
A = Suitable for the destruction of
vegetative bacteria, including
myco-bacteria, fungi and fungal
spores.
B = Suitable for inactivating viruses
(including HBV and HIV).
The cleaning programme must be
chosen according to the type of soiling
and product requiring processing in
order to ensure that disinfection is
carried out correctly, no residues are
left behind and that subsequent
sterilisation can take place. Medical
devices are best reprocessed using the
DESIN vario TD programme, or the
OXIVARIO programme where
applicable.
This washer-disinfector is programmed
to carry out the final rinse with mains
water or AD water (aqua destillata =
purified or de-ionised water (VE), H
2
O
pure, demineralised water or distilled
water where the application requires
this standard).
The water quality is of particular
importance for applications requiring
analytically clean laboratory glassware.
The type of chemical agents used will
depend on the analysis or analytical
methods being used.
Optional extras
Drying unit (TA)
Steam condenser (DK)
Report printer (PRT)
Dispensing systems DOS 2 and
DOS 4
OXIVARIO kit
Water softener
If the mains water hardness level is
more than 70 mg/l (4°d), a water
softening system should be provided
on site, such as the Miele G 7897
"Aqua-Soft system" which is effective up
to approx 720 mg/l (40°d).
