Intended Use - Miele G 7823 Operating Instructions Manual

This washer-disinfector can be used to
clean, rinse, disinfect (thermally and
chemically) and dry a wide range of
reusable medical devices.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions
(according to EN ISO 17664) on how to
process their items by machine.
Examples of application areas:
– surgical instruments,
– minimally invasive instruments,
– anaesthetic and intensive care
instruments,
– baby bottles and teats,
– stainless steel and aluminium
containers (including anodised
aluminium),
– operating theatre shoes.
Processing medical devices by
machine achieves reproducible results,
and should be used in preference to
processing them by hand.
Where disinfection is required for the
protection of staff and/or patients, a
thermal disinfection programme, e.g.
the DESIN vario TD programme, should
be selected.
The parameters for thermal disinfection
according to EN ISO 15883-1 (A
concept) vary depending on the
disinfection standard required. They
are 80 °C (+ 5 °C, - 0 °C) with a 10 min
holding time (A

value of 3000 is
National health and safety regulations
regarding disinfection must also be
observed.
The cleaning programme as well as any
chemical agents must be chosen
according to the type of soiling and
load being processed.
The agents used for processing the
products should be selected to suit the
level of cleaning required as well as the
method of analysis used.
The cleaning result must ensure that
the instruments can be disinfected
correctly, that no residues are left
behind, that subsequent sterilisation
can be carried out and that the
instruments can be used again safely.
Medical devices are best processed
using the DESIN vario TD programme,
or the ORTHOVARIO or OXIVARIO
programme where applicable.
The use of a suitable carrier (mobile
unit, module, insert etc.) is important to
ensure the adequate cleaning of the
load. Examples are given in the section
"Areas of application".
The washer-disinfector is programmed
to carry out the final rinse with mains
water or with processed water of a
quality to suit the application (e.g. aqua
destillata, purified water, de-ionised
water, demineralised water).
This machine complies with EN ISO
15883 for validation purposes.
