Ear, nose and throat instruments (ENT)
The Vario TD ENT programme with thermal disinfection is intended for
the reprocessing of ENT instruments.
Please use a special insert such as the E 417/1 for reprocessing ear
and nasal speculum.
To ensure coverage of all surfaces by the wash liquor please open
speculum and place in the insert.
Lightweight ENT instruments e.g. ear speculum can be reprocessed
in a lockable E 374 insert.
Please be aware that thin chrome plating can be very sensitive to
neutralising agent.
ENT fibre optics
The Vario TD ENT Optic programme with thermal disinfection is
intended for the reprocessing of ENT fibre optics.
To avoid mechanical damage only process rigid fibre optics in
inserts made by the rigid fibre optic manufacturer or in a special
insert such as the E 460.
Instruments should be pre-cleaned, e.g. with a cloth dipped in a
non-fixing disinfecting agent or ethanol, prior to machine
reprocessing.
