All invasive procedures involve contact between a medical device or surgical instrument and a patient’s sterile tissue or mucous membranes. A major risk of all such procedures is the introduction of pathogenic microbes that could lead to infection. Failure to properly disinfect or sterilize reusable medical equipment carries a risk associated with breach of the host barriers. The level of disinfection or sterilization is dependent on the intended use of the object: critical items (such as surgical instruments, which contact sterile tissue), semicritical items (such as endoscopes, which contact mucous membranes), and noncritical items (such as stethoscopes, which contact only intact skin) require sterilization, high-level disinfection, and low-level disinfection, respectively. Cleaning must always precede high-level disinfection and sterilization. Users must consider the advantages and disadvantages of specific methods when choosing a disinfection or sterilization process.

 

At Bergen Healthcare Pvt.Ltd., we provide equipment & solutions produced by prestigious International brands for the cleaning, disinfection and sterilization needs of hospitals, medical and para medical institutes. 

Ultrasonic Cleaning is the follow-up to manual cleaning. While manual cleaning removes most or all of the visible soil from an instrument, it may not remove small or microscopic particles that are protected by the texture of a surface or design features like hinges. Ultrasonic creates microscopic bubbles in the solution that collapse when they contact the instrument releasing energy. This energy “kicks” any soil that is in the area off the instrument. This process is called Cavitation. The detergent in the ultrasonic bath suspends the soil particles and keeps them from attaching back to the instrument. Ultrasonic cleaning should be done for a duration, as specified by the detergent or ultrasonic machine manufacturer, whichever is longer. The detergent solutions must be changed following the instructions of the manufacturer of the detergent or the ultrasonic, whichever states a shorter change interval? This procedure ensures that the potential for cross contamination of instruments is minimized. Following ultrasonic cleaning, the instruments are rinsed with clean water and dried. Ultrasonic cleaners for medical cleaning are available in different configuration with single or dual ultrasonic frequencies and within the tank size ranging from 0.8 to 250 liters and also customized sizes as per user specific needs.

Larger facilities need to reprocess more instruments than can reasonably be done by hand, and so use automatic cleaning machines. These machines may resemble home dishwashers or be specialized for the specific needs of cleaning endoscopes or dental hand-pieces and have been validated to meet the special needs of cleaning these instruments. These needs may include specialized racks that allow cleaning of the interior of anesthesia tubing, MIS instruments etc. for example.  Higher temperatures speed up cleaning, which is important in a high-volume setting, and also provide disinfection. Automatic Washer Disinfectors are available within effective chamber size of 150 to 350 liters in various configurations and variants.

Medical Washer Disinfectors

Steam Cleaning in medicine-Certified according to DIN ISO 9001, 13485

What is not clean, not sterile. To protect patients against infection by pathogens, and to secure the functionality of the various medical instruments, the purification is of utmost importance. Unfortunately, all the instruments cannot be adequately cleaned in the conventional cleaning and disinfection equipment.

**High performance steam cleaning:**

I. With 7 bar pressure with maximum safety technology.
II. Constant availability of steam without pressure drop.
iii. High heating and pressure resistant, highest quality workmanship with "2-chamber design"
iv. Environment friendly manner without the use of chemicals.
v. With fixed nozzle or flexible hand piece and optional compressed air connection.
vi. Through the Leur-lock connector, instruments and connector can be joined directly to the handpiece. Thus, the vapor pressure without losses can be passed directly into the irrigation channel of the instrument and acts exactly where it is needed.

An integral line of table-top steam sterilizers for a wide range of use. The sterilization effect is achieved through the action of saturated water steam subject to a specified temperature, pressure and sterilization exposure time. Usually, a temperature of 121°C or 134°C is applied during the sterilization exposure time, which ranges from 4 – 60 minutes, depending on the nature of sterilization program. The actual process runs in a closed pressure chamber that is made out of stainless steel. These units do not have to be firmly connected to a water supply or discharge piping.re of use.

Autoclave for Medical Waste Management

Sterilization involves the complete destruction of all forms of microbial life, including bacteria, viruses, and spores. Steam sterilization involves the use of steam under pressure, delivered at a particular temperature for an appropriate time. Sterilization occurs as the latent heat of condensation is transferred to the load causing it to heat rapidly. An integral line of large steam sterilizers for medicinal and laboratory applications. There are usually the temperatures of 121 °C and 134 °C used with the sterilization exposure time from 4 to 60 minutes according to the character of the application. The actual process takes place in a closed pressure chamber made of stainless steel.

The units comply with all requirements of the European standard EN 285+A2 and other related standards. The pressure chamber and the steam generator are made of stainless steel (DIN 1.4571, AISI 316 Ti).
Two-microprocessor control (Master-Slave), separated process of sterilization cycle control and recording, wide offer of programs incl. service programs are only a brief characteristic of these modern devices. Checking and archiving of sterilization protocols is possible, as a standard, by means of a printer. The devices can be connected to a PC or a PC net for modern and clear displaying of cycle protocols and safe archiving them on the hard disc. The software Ecosoft allows to make the wrapping of instruments more effective and offers the possibility to monitor and archive the process of wrapping, sterilization and use of instruments.For Hospital & medical sterilization needs, we can offer steam sterilizers of chamber capacity ranging from 73 liters to 1500 liters and even the bigger sizes could also be offered as per the specific needs.
