CYCLE DESCRIPTION

Once the treatment cycle has been started, it will automatically progress through the applicable program phases.

Pre-Wash Phase—Building supplied cold water fills the sump. The water is recirculated, to hydrate dried soils for the programmed time period. Upon completion of treatment, the solution is pumped to drain.

Enzyme Wash Phase—Building supplied hot and/or cold water fills the sump and is recirculated over the load for for the programmed time period. A predetermined amount of enzymatic detergent is automatically added to the sump as the solution is recirculated and heated to the programmed wash temperature. Wash temperature and time are adjustable to meet specific needs. Upon completion of timed phase, the solution is pumped to drain. Enzyme wash phase is an optional treatment that is included based on the pre-established program configuration.

Detergent Wash Phases—Building supplied hot and/or cold water fills the sump and is recirculated over the load for the programmed time period. A predetermined amount of detergent is automatically added to the sump as the solution is recirculated and maintained at the programed wash temperature. Wash temperature and time are adjustable to meet specific needs. Upon completion of timed phase, the solution is pumped to drain. Cold water is automatically added to the discharge solution to reduce the effluent temperature to 140°F (60°C) or lower. Up to two detergent wash phases can be included for cleaning with various detergent strategies (alkaline/ acid, etc...).

Rinse Phase(s)—Building supplied hot or purified water fills the sump and is recirculated over the load for the programmed time period to dilute and remove wash residues. Rinse time is adjustable from 15 seconds to 10 minutes. Upon completion of time the solution is pumped to drain. Up to 2 rinse phases can be included for assuring minimum residual detergents remain on the load.

Thermal Disinfection/Final Rinse Phase—Purified or hot water fills the sump from the final rinse booster tank or directly from a high quality water supply system such as RO or DI. Water is recirculated over the load as the heating coil increases the water temperature. to the desired disinfection temperature setting. Once the disinfection temperature is achieved, the temperature will be maintained for the predetermined exposure time. Exposure temperature is adjustable from 194°F to 198°F (90°C to 92°C) with adjustable exposure time of 1 to 15 minutes.

HEPA-Filtered Non-Recirculated Drying—Fresh air is taken from the clean side and pulled through a heat exchanger by brushless fan motors, forced through a HEPA filter and across the PTC electric heaters before being circulated over the load. Heated chamber air exits the machine through the heat exchanger, which helps warm the incoming cold air, improving efficiency of the dryer. Drying time is adjustable from 1 to 60 minutes.

Advisory Note: Getinge 8666 Washer/Disinfectors perform a critical cleaning and microbial reduction step in the processing of soiled reusable medical devices. Medical devices that will be used in sterile areas of the human body or will be contacting compromised tissues, must be terminally sterilized before each subsequent use in a human patient.

AUTOMATED LOADING AND UNLOADING FOR MORE EFFECTIVE WORK

When the disinfector is ready for loading or unloading, this is done automatically. The wash carts have sensors that start the right wash program for the particular cart.

Automatic loading and unloading is a handy option that reduces handling time and means that the operator can periorm other tasks.

Getinge AGS system (Air Glide System)
The principle of the Getinge AGS is "no waiting". Wash carts are loaded into the washer-disinfector in the order of their arrival, since the wash carts for all washerdisinfectors queue up at one single point. The system handles all loading, program selection and unloading automatically. AGS - How it works The washer-disinfectors are aligned side by side, with one shuttle that moves smootly along the front of the loading and another along the unloading side. Wash-carts are taken to a single point with a loading conveyor, and don't have to be moved manually again. As soon as one of the washer-disinfectors is available, the shuttle automatically picks up the next wash cart from the loading conveyor and delivers it to the free washer-disinfector. The Getinge AGS automatically sets the washer-disinfector to the correct program. No supervision is needed, and it can all be automatically documented for full traceability. The AGS has a control system separated from the washer-disinfectors. The control system is equipped with a built-in safety system which stops the shuttle if a person or object is touched.

Transfer Trolleys—Wheeled transfer trolleys are used to move the wash carts and racks within the decontamination and prep/pack areas to perform loading and unloading of the washer-disinfector. The transport trolleys feature angled handles and swivel casters on all wheels to ensure proper ergonomics and ease of motion for varying user heights.

Hold/Transfer Table—Stationary stainless steel table holds one (1) wash cart. Slots in runners hold wheels of wash cart to prevent cart from moving until ready. Table can be positioned in front of load and/or unload door to be used as a work table for manual operations such as: hold wash cart for loading and unloading operations, without exchanging the wash cart; transfer wash cart from mobile trolley to await loading in manual pass-through operations; withdraw wash cart on the unload side to hold for dispatch using a transfer trolley. The table can also be used as a pass-through window accessory, in one or more end-to-end units.

SYSTEM FOR TOTAL CONTROL

Control system Getinge's PACS control system is used in thousands of Getinge sterilizers and washer-disinfectors around the world.

The system is easy to use for operators and service technicians. The similarity with Getinge sterilizers gives a familiar environment for the user.
