The use and principle of medical dirt cleaning machine

In medical institutions, how to efficiently and safely handle used medical devices and items is a crucial issue. Medical dirt cleaning machines have emerged, which not only improve work efficiency but also ensure the safety and hygiene of the medical environment.

Medical dirt cleaning machines are mainly used for cleaning and disinfecting various reusable instruments and appliances in hospitals, such as surgical instruments and dental tools. Their main purpose is to remove blood, tissue residues, and other contaminants attached to the surface of these items, and perform preliminary disinfection treatment to prepare for subsequent high-temperature and high-pressure sterilization. In addition, such equipment can also be used to clean some water-washable fabrics, such as patient gowns and bed sheets, to ensure they meet the standards for reuse.

Medical dirt cleaning machines usually adopt a combination of mechanical action and chemical cleaning agents for cleaning. Firstly, the spray system sprays water containing detergent onto the items to be cleaned, using the pressure and temperature of the water flow to soften and remove most contaminants. Then, under the action of ultrasonic waves (equipped in some models), tiny bubbles quickly form and burst in the liquid, and the impact force generated can effectively remove residual substances in hard-to-reach parts. Finally, after multiple rinsing and final flushing steps, the items will be thoroughly cleaned, and hot air drying or chemical disinfection will be carried out as needed.

Precautions for Use and Maintenance

a.Operational specifications

Operate strictly in accordance with the instructions provided by the manufacturer to avoid equipment damage or poor cleaning results due to incorrect operation.

b.Regular inspection

Regularly check whether all functions of the equipment are normal, including but not limited to whether the spray arm rotates flexibly and whether the heating element works well.

c.Cleaning and maintenance

After each use, thoroughly clean the inside of the equipment to prevent detergent residues or hard water scale accumulation from affecting the next use. At the same time, attention should be paid to cleaning the external surface to maintain a good appearance.

d.Consumable management

Correctly select suitable cleaning agents and lubricants, which are directly related to cleaning quality and equipment life. And they should be added in the recommended proportion, not excessively or insufficiently.

e.Troubleshooting

Stop the machine for inspection in time when abnormal conditions occur, and do not force it to run. For problems that cannot be solved by oneself, contact professional technicians for maintenance in a timely manner.

As a vital part of modern hospitals, medical dirt cleaning machines have greatly improved the quality and efficiency of medical services. Understanding their uses, mastering their working principles, and following correct use and maintenance guidelines can better exert their effectiveness and ensure the health and safety of patients and medical staff.
