INTENDED USE OF THE MACHINE
The DEKO 25 Washer Disinfector is suitable for automatic cleaning and thermal disinfection of
medical devices intended for re-use such as;
* Surgical instruments
* Instrument trays
* Instruments for minimum invasive surgery
* Rigid endoscopes
* Anaesthetic and respiratory equipment
* Hollowware
* Glassware and
* Transit containers
More information in standards:
- ISO/FDIS 15883-1 Washer-disinfectors, Part1: General requirements, definitions and tests
- ISO/FDIS 15883-2 Washer-disinfectors, Part2: Requirements and tests for washer-disinfectors
When processed in the instrument washer-disinfector, the medical devices may be intended for
immediate use or packed and sterilised. In both cases the efficacy of the cleaning and
disinfection is of major importance. In the first case this is for the well being of the patient, in the
latter case it is for the safety of the staff who handles the instruments in the process of
inspecting, testing and packing the instruments.
The efficacy of disinfection may be impaired if soil removal is incomplete before the start of the
disinfection process. Some medical devices may require pre-treatment e.g. soaking, brushing,
ultra sonic pre-cleaning, lumen irrigation or any combination of these techniques.
