Automated Instrument Management
Proper instrument sterilization is critical for proper patient protection. The first step in instrument sterilization involved removing any blood or debris from the instruments. An instrument with debris or blood that runs through the sterilizer may not truly be sterile. For years, this step was done by hand. The instruments were scrubbed with a brush. Some offices use an ultrasonic cleaner to remove debris. The effectiveness of the ultrasonic cleaner is a function of how many instruments are in the ultrasonic cleaner, and how new the machine is. Both methods, while effective, are susceptible to failure due to human error.
Enter the Miele Dental Disinfector. This machine completely automates to process of instrument disinfection and eliminates human error in the sterilization chain. Instruments are placed in cassettes after use. This eliminates the possibility that they will cut a staff member. The cassettes are run through the dental disinfector. At the end of the cycle, the instruments are completely free of debris and nearly sterile. They are then placed in the autoclave for final sterilization.
