Miele unveils new devices to disinfect surgical instruments

Washer-disinfectors from Miele fully disinfect surgical equipment and medical instruments with user-specific load carriers and tailor-made programs. End-to-end process documentation solutions facilitate recorded data to ensure effective wash optimization.

VAUGHAN — Miele Professional has unveiled a solution for cleaning and disinfecting medical and surgical instruments in Canada.

Miele has made available the PG 8582 and PG 8592 Medical Undercounter washer-disinfectors. They each feature application specific wash programs, tailored process chemicals and flexible basket configurations.

The new machines offer a solution to medical instrument and device reprocessing for a range of applications, such as Ophthalmology, ENT, Plastic Surgery and OBGYN/Fertility.

According to Miele’s announcement, healthcare professionals face increasingly complex practice management issues, with busy schedules, staff shortages and patient care demands. With this in mind, the company hopes that the introduction of its washer/disinfector solutions will assist healthcare practitioners to ensure that they do not compromise cleanliness while keeping up with the demands of their roles.

“The preparation of medical instruments and devices for the sterilization process is only as good as the initial cleaning and disinfection process,” said Steve Timpano, V.P., professional division, Canada, in a statement. 

“Whether it be in a hospital or clinic, we understand the necessity of fully disinfected instruments and equipment and have built and tested our machines to provide a consistently clean end-result every time, providing peace of mind on infection control.”
