Surgical Instrument Washers, Tunnel Washers, Washer Decontaminators Washer Disinfectors products are designed and constructed to exceed the standard performance design requirements stated in ISO/DIS 15883-1.
Surgical Instrument Washer Decontaminator Washer Disinfector products are designed to clean surgical instruments and the working channels of scopes inside-and-out thereby reducing the costs and avoiding the risks associated with manual cleaning.
Cost Analysis compares the cost of manually cleaning reprocessing surgical instruments and/or scopes versus automated cleaning reprocessing using washer decontaminators, tunnel washers, and /or washer disinfectors. The Cost Benefit Analysis offers national average benchmark cost values that can be replaced actual cost values to produce a personalized cost benefit analysis. This “Washer decontaminator Cost Benefit Analysis” can also be used to forecast future changes in reprocessing costs and/or compare other alternative methods for cleaning surgical instruments and/or scopes.

cleaning prerequisite for sterilizing surgical instruments.
To protect stainless steel surgical instruments against corrosion and pitting the manufacturers provide a Surgical Instrument Stainless Steel passive layer. Enhancing the passive layer of stainless steel surgical instruments is critical to optimize the usable life and quality of surgical instrument performance.
The manufacturers of surgical instruments are consistent in their recommendations for surgical instrument cleaners and the "proper sequence of instrument cleaning treatments". The proper use of surgical instrument cleaners will optimize the care of surgical instruments and facilitate the sterilizing surgical instruments. Their recommendations for surgical instrument cleaners are based on a sequence of chemical and mechanical treatments which include using:
Neutral pH for surgical instrument cleaner chemicals,
cold water pre-wash surgical instrument cleaners ,
elevated temperature surgical instrument cleaners,
redundant purified water rinses to remove cleaners, and
elevated temperature (above boiling point) hot air drying.
Four enzymes are necessary to breakdown bioburden. Surgical instrument cleaners that do not contain these four enzymes cannot remove all forms of proteinaceous bioburden. For the optimal use of surgical instrument cleaners and surgical instrument cleaning process to be thorough, four surgical instrument cleaner enzymes are necessary.
