Anaesthetic instruments (AN)
The Vario TD AN programme with thermal disinfection is intended for
the reprocessing of anaesthetic instruments.
To protect instruments from material damage, please observe
the instrument manufacturer's instructions regarding permitted
disinfecting and drying temperatures.
This will be below 85°C for some elastomers used in respiration
bags.
Anaesthetic instruments should only be reprocessed in mobile
injector units designed for them.
Mobile units are supplied with their own operating instructions.
If the process is not to be followed by sterilisation, the load
should be dried completely before storage to avoid the
development of water-borne bacteria.
The drying result must therefore be checked at the end of a
programme.
Tube interiors in particular must be completely dry. The programme
drying time must be adjusted as necessary to achieve this.
