MEDICAL REPROCESSING CLEANING EQUIPMENT

In certain applications, manual cleaning methods are irreplaceable. However, for specific components, automated cleaning systems demonstrate superior efficacy. The cleaning protocol generally encompasses multiple stages, starting with enzymatic treatments using proteases, α-amylases, lipases, and cellulases to hydrolyze various contaminants on surgical instruments.

Subsequent to enzymatic digestion, the process typically involves sequential rinses with solutions of varying pH levels, followed by sterilization procedures. The Vacuum Cycling Nucleation (VCN) technique is ideal for processing multiple cleaning solutions, where one treatment cycle is recycled; during this process, the device and chamber are dried before introducing the next cleaning cycle. VCN ensures comprehensive coverage, reaching all device surfaces, including porous and confined areas.

A single processing tank can be integrated with multiple auxiliary solution reservoirs. The process can be programmed with predefined recipes, allowing precise control over solution selection and immersion duration to optimize decontamination efficacy.

Our aqueous cleaning systems are capable of cleaning components without the need for disassembly. The trocar referenced was cleaned after being disassembled into two segments. As illustrated on the left, the standard procedure involves cleaning the trocar after separation into 11 components. This process streamlines the cleaning cycle, reduces processing time, and minimizes the potential for human error.
