Ensuring reproducible cleaning results in accordance with EN ISO 15883 for compliance with RKI guidelines.
Time and cost savings through automated program sequences and optimized use of process chemicals.
Minimizing the risk of injury and infection for staff by eliminating manual pre-cleaning.
Precision in instrument reprocessing
A modern thermal disinfector combines mechanical cleaning power with precise thermal action. For medical professionals and laboratory experts, choosing the right washer-disinfector is crucial for preserving the value of high-quality instruments. While our steam cleaning machines are used for special surfaces, the thermal disinfector offers a standardized, complete solution. Combined with comprehensive occupational safety measures , this creates a safe environment for both team members and patients.
Technical check: What experts look for when buying an RDG
- ▶ A0 value control: A crucial parameter for the thermal disinfection effect (usually A0-3000 for medical instruments).
- ▶ Drying systems: Integrated active drying prevents corrosion and ensures immediate readiness for use or sterilizability.
- ▶ Batch documentation: Interfaces (USB/network) for digital archiving of processing protocols.
Expert guide: Thermal disinfectors
What is the difference between a dishwasher and a thermal disinfector?
Unlike household dishwashers, thermal disinfectors have calibrated sensors, powerful circulation pumps for narrow-lumen instruments, and maintain defined temperatures constant over a precise period of time to guarantee legally compliant disinfection.
Why is automated reprocessing standard in washer-disinfectors today?
Manual reprocessing is prone to errors and difficult to validate. A washer-disinfector protects the instruments through precise dosing of the cleaning agents and protects personnel from needlestick injuries and aerosol formation during the cleaning process.
How is a thermal disinfector maintained?
In addition to daily visual inspections by staff, annual maintenance and validation by certified technicians is required to demonstrate functionality and compliance with hygiene standards.
"Pay attention to water quality during the planning phase. Using a water treatment system (deionized water) protects your thermal disinfector from limescale deposits and prevents staining on high-quality surgical instruments."
