How To Load The Washer-Disinfector - Miele PG 8527 Operating Instructions Manual

How to load the
washer-disinfector
Select mobile units, baskets and
inserts appropriate for the
application.
– Always load items in such a way that
all surfaces will be exposed to the
cleaning water. This ensures that the
items will be properly cleaned.
– Do not nest any items inside other
items. Keep each item separate.
– Hollow items must be arranged for
complete inside exposure to the
cleaning water.
– Instruments with long, narrow hollows
must be loaded so that they can be
completely flushed with washwater
and rinsewater.
– Hollow items should be inverted and
placed in suitable mobile units,
modules and inserts so that water
can flow in and out unrestricted.
Protective netting can be used to
avoid damage to sensitive
instruments or glass breakage.
– Lightweight items can be secured
with cover nets (e.g. A 6), and small
parts can be placed in a small item
mesh tray, so that they do not block
the spray arms or become attached
to the magnetic strip on the automat-
ic mobile unit recognition.
– Deep based items should be
arranged at an angle, so that water
can run off easily.
– Tall, narrow hollow items should be
placed in the center of the mobile
unit for best water coverage.
– Mobile units with an adapter must be
properly connected.
– Modules must be properly
connected to the mobile unit.
– The spray arms must not be blocked
by items that are too tall or hang
through the baskets. Gently rotate
the arms by hand to check mobility.
– To avoid corrosion, use only
unblemished instruments made of
stainless steel.
– Heat-sensitive instruments should be
cleaned and disinfected with a
thermochemical process only.
,
NEVER process disposable
instruments in the
washer-disinfector.
Prepare items before loading
Empty all items before loading into the
machine. Comply with all applicable
infection-control regulations.
,
Ensure that no acid or solvent
residues, especially hydrochloric
acid or chlorides, get inside the
washer-disinfector.
Instrument sorting
Whenever possible, instruments should
be reprocessed in washer-disinfectors
without pre-soaking.
