Surgical Instruments - Miele PG 8527 Operating Instructions Manual

Application

Surgical instruments

The wait-time before processing
surgical instruments should be as short
as possible and should not exceed two
hours.
The instruments should be processed
using the program DES-VAR-TD.
For surgical instruments with a longer
wait time, use the OXIVARIO or
ORTHOVARIO process (see section on
"Optional features").
Surgical instruments, even those for
minimally invasive procedures, should
be thermally disinfected for best
results.
Whenever possible, demineralized
water should be used for rinsing
(conductivity ~ 15 ZS/cm) for a spotless
result and to avoid corrosion. The use
of tap water with more than 100 mg
chloride/L entails the risk of corrosion.
When processing instruments for
minimally invasive procedures, e.g.,
minimal invasive surgery an intensive
internal cleaning result is imperative.
Only the programs DES-VAR-TD and
OXIVARIO are suitable for thorough
cleaning. Always observe the specific
loading instructions, and all applicable
procedures, including for the use of
appropriate detergents for these
sensitive instruments.
For rinsing, use demineralized water
with a conductivity of ~15 ZS/cm.
Very narrow-lumen instruments must
be pre-cleaned manually where
necessary. Follow the instrument
manufacturer's instructions!

be processed thermally with the
CONTAINER program. For anodized
alumium containers, demineralized
water must be used for cleaning and
rinsing.
They should not be cleaned at 93 °C
mit and 10 min holding time with an
alkaline detergent.
When processing surgical container
with a disinfection standard A
program CONTAINER-600 must later

instruments and sterilization
containers come with their own
operating instructions.
