Experts believe that the cleaning of instruments is even more important than the sterilization process because unless the instrument is clean it can’t be sterilized. When choosing a wash monitor, you want a monitor that looks for problems in your process.
Washing monitors
INDICATORS for wash phase in washer-disinfectors
HOSPITAL WASHER - DISINFECTOR CONTROL
Wash-Checks WC 101, pack/50
Designed to monitor the wash/detergent system effectiveness with a consistent monitor on a routine basis.
If insufficient time, temperature, detergent concentration, spray arm function or enzyme soak occurs, a red residue remains.
Test soil is designed to parallel the removal of blood and tissue from surgical instruments No actual blood components from any source are contained in the test soil.
Low cost monitor promotes routine use.
We recommend monitoring each shelf of every washer each day for a machine release and using a minimum of one Wash-Check monitor per load when the washer has proven effective.
Use with reusable Wash-Checks holder (WC 102), that acts as a hinged instrument measuring impingement.
Third party testing has proven Wash-Checks to be the most reliable and effective wash monitor on the market.
Wash-Checks Ultrasonic WC 108, pack/50
Checks the effectiveness of the wash process in your ultrasonic cleaner with a consistent monitor on a routine basis.
When cleaning conditions are effective, test soil on monitor is dissolved.
Multi-parameter test - the presence of a large amount of blue test soil remaining on the monitors reflects a serious deficiency in the ultrasonic cleaning efficiency.
Tests effective cavitation, time, temperature and detergent.
Low cost monitor promotes routine use.
We recommend monitoring the ultrasonic cleaner once daily with an empty load for a machine release and periodically throughout the day with instruments for a load release.
Use with reusable Wash-Checks holder (WC 102) - the holder acts as a hinged instrument, measuring impingement.
