INSTRUMENT CARE 17 Instrument Cleaning Automatic Instrument Washer Henry Schein Ultrasonic Cleaner Regular use of an Ultrasonic Cleaner is recommended to maintain your instruments, particularly jointed and textured items, in their best condition. Normal cleaning cannot reach into joints, or penetrate the narrow lumens of drill guides for example. Biological residues accumulate and cause stiffening and corrosion. This Unit has a reasonable sized tank with a capacity of 5.7 litres. A 30 minute timer and heater, along with a rear drain outlet and uncluttered wipe down control panel make this unit practical for use in small animal surgeries. Lid and basket are supplied with the unit. Dimensions: Tank: Overall: Capacity: 5.7 litre Accessory kit 29.8 x 15.2 x 15.2cm 32.4 x 17.8 x 27.8cm Also available is a useful Accessory Kit. This contains a Beaker Stand & Positioning Cover, an Auxiliary Pan, Mesh Basket, Bur Tray and 400-600ml Beakers. Spinal burs and other small items clean well in ultrasonics but can get lost in a large tank. The Bur Tray keeps these together. Occasionally chemicals other than standard cleaning products may be needed. These can be used in the Beakers supplied, held in the Beaker Stand which is then placed in the cleaner. Provided the fluid level in the cleaner is at the correct level giving good contact with the Beaker, the ultrasonic waves generated will pass through into the fluid in the Beaker, to clean the contents. Suggested cleaning solutions see page 312 Solutions must be low-foaming and recommended for Ultrasonic Cleaners. Products with enzymes such as Rapidex will give the best results.

17 INSTRUMENT CARE Autoclaves Kronos S Autoclave The Kronos Range of Autoclaves The Kronos Range of Autoclaves comply with all the relevant European Directives and Standards, including BS EN13060. Designed and manufactured in Italy, the Kronos are built to the highest standard delivering quality, efficiency, speed, simplicity and reliability. Midmark have a major market presence in Germany, France and Italy, proving to be the professional s choice across Europe. Above all else we realise that what the busy veterinary surgery requires is reliability. The autoclave needs to perform day in day out and not go wrong. If it does go wrong it must be fixed as soon as possible or a service unit provided. This is exactly what Newmed offers. One of the unique features of the Kronos range is that all models incorporate a steam generator, injecting steam directly into the chamber. This enables the Autoclave to operate with some of the fastest cycle times on the market whilst using less power. Both the Kronos B and S class autoclave meet the highest standards required for vacuum sterilisation and are suitable for all wrapped, nonwrapped, solid, hollow and porous loads, meeting the BS EN13060 standard for steam penetration and resulting in dry packs and instruments. Both B and S class autoclaves have the following features: Fast sterilisation times Steam generator to reduce water and energy consumption by up to 50% Internal thermal printer as standard with last 10 cycle reprint facility Optional internal USB data-logger facility Graphic display for easy operation and control Practical water loading from self-priming pump Direct connections for automatic water fill and drainage Separate water loading and drainage tanks for improved hygiene Motor operated door closure with triple safety protection Suitable for all load and instrument types Available in 18 or 23 Litre capacity Up to 52cm chamber length (B&S 23L) one of longest on market - for those larger kits Reversible tray holders and 5 trays as standard Competitively priced Superior build using quality materials ensure reliability and longevity of machine. The Kronos S Series of autoclaves has all the features listed opposite and meets all the regulations which cover vacuum veterinary autoclaves. Both Bowie and Dick and Vacuum Test as specified by the NHS are met. The double-stage vacuum pump evacuates the chamber both prior to the cycle and after the sterilisation process. The graphic display indicates current temperature and pressure plus details of cycle phases. Details of operator errors also displayed An on board printer is standard to provide a permanent record of the complete cycle. Reprint option on previous 10 cylces available. Tray holders carry 5 trays as standard. 5 trays included. Tray holder is reversible and removeable for larger packs. Wrapped packs up to 4.5kg may be sterilised (B23 & S23) Chamber length up to 530mm (23L) Midmark B Autoclave Similar in looks to the Kronos S, the Midmark B includes more advanced technology controlling the vacuum process to remove even more air than the Kronos S prior to heating. This enables the B version to meet the demanding requirements of the Helix test Midmark Customer Service includes: After-sales Service and Maintenance Free Delivery (UK Mainland), Installation, Comissioning and Staff Training on purchase.
