External cleaning
The instruments are first cleaned 5 times with cold water in a pulse-wash
procedure (multicyclic cleaning method).
Then warm external cleaning / thermal disinfection is conducted up to
120°C (248°F).
The total number of washes is 5 cold and 1 warm, in total 6 washes.
The chamber is then heated to 134 °C (273 °F) or 121 °C (250 °F),
depending on the chosen program, for the disinfection process.
Thermal disinfection
After external cleaning, the instruments are thermally disinfected.
Saturated steam is forced through the instruments and then extracted
back through the air and water channels (if available) of the instruments.
This is known as the backflush method.
Three different thermal disinfection programs are available:
● 134°C (273°F) with a holding time of 3 minutes
● 134°C (273°F) with a holding time of 18 minutes
● 121°C (250°F) with a holding time of 15 minutes
