A systematic approach to the safe
and efficient reprocessing of instruments
Manual reprocessing entails a multitude
of risks
The manual cleaning and disinfection of
medical instruments requires considerable
time and effort. It also represents a source
of errors with respect to maintaining
exposure times, dispenser concentrations
and the renewal of disinfectant solutions.
Many instruments – such as long lumened
items – can scarcely be reprocessed
by hand. On the economical side,
high consumption of water as well as
detergents and disinfectants result in
excessive costs.
Benefits of automatic reprocessing
compared with manual cleaning:
•More thorough cleaning as pre-condition
for effective sterilisation
• Simple cleaning of lumens on minimally
invasive instruments
• Gentle treatment of materials and
preservation of the value of expensive
instruments
• Lower cycle costs through the reduced
use of water, electricity and process
chemicals
• Safe results guaranteed by automatically
monitoring programme parameters
• Automatic instrument reprocessing
preferred method according to Robert
Koch Institute
• Safest approach to instrument
reprocessing, offering maximum
compliance with regulations
