Getinge's design are based on the barrier principle, ensuring clear seperation of SOILED, CLEAN and STERILE ZONES.
The zones are seperated by pass-through washer-disinfectors and sterilizers. The following describe accessories offered for each zone, starting with the soiled zone.
Unclean items from the operating theatres, wards, outpatient and other departments arrive at the reception area - for soiled goods by covered trolleys or by lift - in the same instrument trays, baskets and containers as they were delivered in. After visual inspection, the items are either put straight on racks and loaded into the pass-through washer-disinfectors or manually cleaned by soaking, spray-gun rinse and/ or ultrasonic cleaning, and then put into the washer-disinfector.
Intelligent transducers, the generator always checks and optimizes how to get the power into the system in the best way; High-performance transducer systems.
Electronic time and temperature control & auto start temperature-controlled / temperature pre-selection.
Sweep funtion guarntees and optimum sound fielddistribution in the cleaning bath which makes the cleaning effect equally effective in every part of the bath.
The system generally used in modern hospitals is a centralized department for disinfection and sterilization, also known as the CSSD (= Central Sterilization Supply Department). The other system is a decentralized system of sterilization. This could be a decentralized sterilization facility, or substerile department, a relatively small unit usually located close to where the sterilized items are used. At a central surgical department, this type of unit is known as a TSSU (= Theater Sterile Supply Unit). The main advantage is that the instrument circulation time is shorter and transport is more or less eliminated.
Ultrasonic cleaning unit with 6- or 10- liter bath capacity, suitable for cleaning a few small instruments, needles or rigid endoscopes. Often used for decentralized cleaning, e.g. outside the CSSD. Equipped with dry-run protected heating to further support the cleaning process. The operator panel shows the set and remaining cleaning times. The present and actual temperature of liquid is also shown. The unitis microprocessor controlled, with sweep technology for optimum distribution of sound in the cleaning bath. THe cleaning tank is made of cavitation resistant stainless steel. The operator panel is splash-proof. For simple and effective draining of liquid from the tank, just turn a knob.
A lid is included for protection as well as noise reduction.
Ultrasonic cleaning unit with 14 liter bath capacity, ideal for clearing medical norm tray baskets. The operator panel shows the set and the remaining cleaning times. The ultrasonic cleaning process in microprocessor-controlled, with sweep technology for optimum distribution of sound in the cleaning bath. The cleaning tank is made of cavitation resistant stainless steel and the operator panel is splash-proof. For simple and effective draining of liquid from the tank, just turn a knob.
A stainless steel lid is included for protection as well as noise reduction.
Note: This is only one of the Getinge's Ultrasonic model that is not available in a a heated version.
Ultrasonic cleaning unit with 18 liter bath capacity, suitable for cleaning flexible endoscopic accessories. Equipped with dry-run-protected heating to further support the cleaning process. The operator panel shows the set and the remaining cleaning times. The ultrasonic cleaning process in microprocessor-controlled, with sweep technology for optimum distribution of sound in the cleaning bath. The cleaning tank is made of cavitation resistant stainless steel and the operator panel is splash-proof. For simple and effective draining of liquid from the tank, just turn a knob.
Ultrasonic cleaning unit with 28 liter bath capacity, for cleaning up to 3 medical-norm tray baskets. Equipped with dry-run-protected heating to further support the cleaning process. The operator panel shows the set and the remaining cleaning times. The ultrasonic cleaning process in microprocessor-controlled, with sweep technology for optimum distribution of sound in the cleaning bath. The cleaning tank is made of cavitation-resistant stainless steel and the operator panel is splash-proof. For simple and effective draining of liquid from the tank, just turn a knob.
Ultrasonic cleaning unit with 45-liter bath capacity, for cleaning of instruments either in wire basket or in medical norm DIN tray baskets. Equipped with dry-run-protected heating to further support the cleaning process. The operator panel shows the set and the remaining cleaning times. The ultrasonic cleaning process is microprocessor- controlled, with sweep technology for optimum distribution of sound in the cleaning bath. The cleaning tank is made of cavitation-resistant stainless steel and the operator panel is splash-proof. For simple and effective draining of liquid from the tank, just turn a knob.
Double-door cabinet for storing of ultrasonic units up to 28 liters, for fitting on a Getinge stainless steel worktable to give more free worktop space. The ultrasonic unit is placed on a stainless steel shelf that can be pulled out 560 mm for greater access, or retracted for practical out-of-sight storage.
These sink / worktop units are designed for heavy-duty work, such as sorting, manual washing and preparation, particularly with wet goods. The robust stainless steel worktop has raised edges all around to contain water splashing. The working height is 900 mm and the worktop is 650 mm deep as standard. Different models are available to meet specific requirements, including one unit with the raised edges but without a sink. To describe the preferred sink unit select: Length: Units with integrated sink 1200-2800 mm and 600-2800 mm for worktops without sink.
With or without shelf: the sink/worktop unit can be delivered with an integrated shelf for close-at-hand storage.
With or without sink: 3 models. Single or double sinks for placement to left, right or middle on the worktop. All sinks have a smooth, polished finish with sizes that allow processing even of large modular instrument trays.
Other features are available on request. Ask your local Getinge representative for full details and dimensions.
On leaving the washer-disinfector, the clean (but not sterile) goods enter the area for sorting, inspection and packaging. For these tasks, Geting has a full range of practical and easy-to-use equipment that can be adapted to suit different requirements and capacities. Mobility, efficiency and ergonomics are features that reflect the accessories in this area. Once sorted, inspected and packaged, the goods are placed in pass-through sterilizers.
On completion of the sterilizing process, the sterilizers are unloaded with Getinge's ergonomical, user-friendly equipment. The goods are then further transported to sterile storage or directly the point of use. Whatever the type of goods carrier and transport, there is the right equipment. These products can be found in the following chapters and pages.
