OR shoes
OR shoes made of
temperature-sensitive material and/or
insoles must be thermochemically
cleaned and disinfected at 60°C
(program CHEM-DISIN).
A thermal disinfection program
(SHOE-TD) can be used as long as the
manufacturer has confirmed the
thermal stability of the product(s).
For information on the efficacy of
thermochemical disinfection, contact
the disinfectant manufacturer directly.
OR shoes should only be cleaned
and disinfected in a
washer-disinfector that has been
installed for that application.
If OR shoes are processed with
other applications in a
washer-disinfector, the operator
must assess the risks associated
with this.
The following baskets can be used:
–
O 167 for shoe sizes up to 40 (7 1/2
in Canada),
–
O 173 for shoe sizes up to 41 (8 in
Canada), and
–
U 168/1 for shoe sizes up to 45
(11 1/2 in Canada).
Alternatively, you can use E 484 inserts
with E 487 supports for surgical shoes
or E 489 for insoles in a suitable lower
basket, e. g., U 874.
When OR shoes are cleaned, large
quantities of lint can accumulate. For
this reason, be sure to check the
wash cabinet filters frequently and
clean as needed (see the “Cleaning
the wash cabinet filters” section in
“Maintenance of the
washer-disinfector”).
