Residue in the final rinse water can
have a negative impact on reprocessing
performance, sometimes even with
catastrophic implications. Alkaline
residue in ophthalmology, for instance,
can in extreme cases result in serious
complications when instruments are
reused. Excessive residue can also result
in corrosion and deposits on instruments.
Hence, there is great call for a system
able to warn users of the presence of
undesirable substances in the wash liquor
in reprocessing systems. On request, the
PG 8536 can be fitted with Miele's new,
patented PerfectPure conductivity monitor.
Conductivity monitoring reliably detects
the presence of minerals in the rinse water,
such as the dissolved salts introduced
with alkaline or acidic process chemicals,
limiting them to a threshold level defined
by the user.
of instruments is also a key benefit to
users. Recording conductivity over the
entire process offers increased safety in
ensuring the precise reproducibility of
validated processes.
Residue is determined as a function of
conductivity. Measuring and monitoring is
achieved using a contact-free and hence
maintenance-free system which is able
to monitor conductivity conditions with
exceptionally low tolerance levels in ranges
from 5 – 40 μS/cm.
Depending on machine settings,
conductivity readings can even be used to
control the programme cycle. This allows
the number of necessary rinse cycles to
be determined automatically if conductivity
is outside the predetermined range:
Recording conductivity over the entire
process helps ensure the reproducibility
of validated processes. Monitoring
results can be shown in the display and
documented accordingly.
Conductivity monitoring using Miele's
PerfectPure sensor technology reliably
ensures that the maximum residue
concentrations on surgical instruments
stated by chemistry suppliers are not
exceeded. This, in turn, ensures that
residuals on instruments do not pose
any risk to patients in the operating
theatre. Alongside toxicological safety
considerations, the reduced depreciation
