Benefits of a Medical Washer?

According to the US Food & Drug Association (FDA), a medical washer or washer-disinfector is a medical device intended for general medical purposes to clean, decontaminate and disinfect surgical instruments, anaesthesia equipment, hollowware and other medical devices. A medical washer-disinfector works similarly to dishwashers, removing dirt using a mix of water circulation and cleansers but with the added disinfection cycle.

Disinfection is a process of destroying microorganisms. Australian Standards 4187 (AS-4187) describes disinfection as a process of inactivation of non-sporing organisms using either heat or chemical means. Thermal disinfection has relatively tight boundaries, which are described in AS-4187. For example, a surface must be subject to a temperature of 90^oC for a period of no less than 60 seconds. This must be verified or verifiable, and only then can the item be considered to be disinfected, but only if they are clean.

Why do You Need a Medical Washer?

The answer is simple: high-level cleaning, disinfection, and sterilisation process. The world has experienced first-hand an unprecedented, terrifying pandemic. If medical instruments are not properly cleaned, disinfected, and sterilised, there is a substantial possibility of contamination.

The World Health Organization states that Respiratory secretions or droplets expelled by infected individuals can contaminate surfaces and objects, creating fomites. Contacting surfaces in the local surroundings or things contaminated with viruses from an infected individual, then touching the mouth, nose, or eyes, can also result in transmission.

Therefore, using a medical device washer, like the washer-disinfector, is essential in performing a high-level disinfection process on medical devices – thus, preventing COVID-19 infliction and other viruses.

Benefits of Rhima Medical Washers

In the medical business, medical washers are essential. Cleaning at the ward level is typically a dangerous manual task. All reusable objects on the ward should be considered contagious. Before moving on to the next level of processing, they must be made safe.

Rhima’s washer-disinfector is the best instrument washer on the market. Our engineers have paid maximum attention to detail in designing and building the washers. They have been developed to endure continuous usage in all medical, pharmaceutical, and veterinary facilities.

In addition, our medical washers clean and disinfect at a high level without going beyond the appropriate water usage. Hence, you get the most out of your time, effort, and money.

Rhima’s first aim is to provide a medical washer with high efficiency and cutting-edge technology. We also undertake regular inspections such as safety, sanitation, and temperature checks to verify that the machine you’re using meets the highest possible requirements.

How to Decide if a Medical Washer is for You?

When it comes to medical washers, you always look at the instrument washer’s safety, effectiveness, productivity, cost, and timeliness.

A pulp macerator is used to dispose of a single-use utensil and its contents. The bedpan and its contents are sliced into fine slurry by the machine. It is subsequently discharged into the ordinary drainage system through the pipes. This method significantly increases the strain on the sewage system, and is not environmentally friendly. The risk is that incontinence pads, diapers, and other things get stuck in the macerator and pipes, effectively clogging it up.

Hence why, a bedpan washer is what you’re looking for! Environmentally friendly and safer with fewer contamination risks to staff.

The Rhima Deko-190 is a washing machine that can swiftly, efficiently, and hygienically handle nearly any ward cleaning duty. It’s also suitable for prisons, nursing homes, clinics, hospitals, and other infection-control institutions.

A bedpan flusher disinfector is a device that empties and disinfects a bedpan. The Deko-190 follows ISO 15883-3 and flushes, washes, rinses, and disinfects a bedpan using steam.

The Rhima Deko-190 is the only machine that cleans like a dishwasher using hot soapy water and disinfects with steam after a hot rinse. It disinfects not just the utensils but the whole interior cabinet and piping system as well. The Deko 190 is unlike any other flusher/sanitiser/disinfector in terms of cleaning power.

Here are some of the many features and benefits that the Rhima Deko 190 prides on:

• The Deko 190 is a washing machine that can swiftly, efficiently, and hygienically handle nearly any ward cleaning duty.
• Bedpans and lids, urine bottles, hand wash basins, suction bottles, buckets, kidney bowls, theatrical overshoes, and vases are automatically flushed, washed, and disinfected by the Deko 190.
• The integrated drop-down shelf on the Deko 190 gives space for four-hand wash basins or a mop bucket.
• You may also use the shelf to store and process inserts and wash accessories such as kidney dishes, bowls, vases, toilet brushes/holders, and other hollowware.
• Optional holders and baskets allow for the proper placing and loading of various goods, such as carpet squares, suction jars, and medication pots, and increase the Deko 190’s capacity and adaptability.
• The Deko 190 features a big wash chamber and can empty and process 2 bedpans with lids and 4 urine bottles simultaneously.
• It also cleans equipment before CSSD, preventing exposure from manual handling. As a result, one Deko 190 not only replaces two traditional machines but also saves your employees hours of clumsy manual labour. It leads to increased employee productivity, significant space, power, and water cost reductions, and, most importantly, enhanced infection control procedures.
• Optional Descale pumps/kits can be put on your machine at an additional cost to avoid scale buildup for regions with hard water.
• The Australian Register for Therapeutic Goods (TGA) has approved the Deko 190 and its accessories and detergent.
• The Deko 190 is Watermark licensed and conforms with all applicable Australian standards, including ISO 15883-1 and ISO 15883-3.

It is highly recommended because of its advantages, especially if you search for cost-effectiveness and get the job done swiftly and efficiently.
