Miele innovations for particularly critical
cases. Milestones in the optimisation of
cleaning results:
1994 innovation
VarioTD
The Vario TD method can now be seen
as the standard programme for routine
instrument cleaning and disinfection,
achieving good removal of protein-based
contamination (blood, secretion) from
instruments which do not pose a particular
challenge. Thermal disinfection takes
place at a temperature of at least 90°C
for 5 minutes. To protect instruments,
the final rinse is ideally performed with
demineralised water without surfactant.
• Intensive cleaning below protein
denaturation temperature
• Disinfection according to EN ISO 15883
• Exceptional material compatibility
* Programme selection may vary from
country to country
2005 innovation
ORTHOVARIO
Special programme on PG 8536 washer-
disinfectors for orthopaedic instruments
including motor systems and other medical
products made from aluminium.
• Excellent cleaning performance
• Good material compatibility even on
instruments sensitive to alkalinity
2011 innovation
ROBOTVARIO *
The complexity of the robotic-assisted
instruments used in minimally invasive
surgery poses extreme challenges with
respect to the safety and reliability of
reprocessing. The new ROBOTVARIO
reprocessing system from Miele
Professional consists of a specially
designed load carrier, a new reprocessing
programme and matching process
chemicals. The outcome is an innovative
approach to the safe and cost-efficient
cleaning and disinfection of robotic-
assisted surgical instruments.
• Excellent cleaning performance
• Economical and gentle
reprocessing of expensive instruments
2004 innovation
OXIVARIO
Special programme on PG 8535 and
PG 8536 washer-disinfectors for the critical
instruments used in trauma surgery as well
as high-frequency cauterising instruments
requiring higher standards of cleaning.
• Excellent cleaning and removal of organic
soil
• Time-saving as there is no need for pre-
and post-treatment
OXIVARIO PLUS
Special programme on PG 8535 and PG
8536 washer-disinfectors to prevent the
iatrogenic spread of vCJD according to
guidelines published by the task force set
up by Germany's Robert Koch Institute.
• Excellent cleaning and removal of organic
soil
• Time-saving as there is no need for pre-
and post-treatment
