Compliance Features

Unique Integral Process Verification

'A pre-requisite of the current and imminent standards is to monitor the disinfection temperature independently of the machine microprocessor, preferably with a failsafe mode to ensure that this part of the process may not be compromised'

The 'Clinic' uniquely incorporates twin microprocessors to provide an integral facility. In the event that the twin microprocessors detect an error the wash cycle is aborted and an error code is displayed

The 'Clinic' has a separate temperature sensor fitted to monitor the cycle and will 'failsafe' if the temperature difference is more than 2ºc from the presets

Three step 'wash & dump'

The 'Clinic' has been designed to 'dump' water after each stage of the process to ensure that any process residues are completely removed from the chamber before the next stage of the process begins.

Integral watchdog control

Primary Control

Effective cleaning in an automated WDD is achieved by the use of three types of energy Thermal, Chemical & Physical and it is only the correct combination of the three elements that will provide thorough cleaning. The current and imminent regulatory standards require these elements to be monitored and, in this respect, the 'Clinic' is unique.

Thermal - Control of the process temperature is vital at all stages and the 'Clinic' machine’s temperature is monitored in this respect for main wash, disinfection and drying.

Chemical - The correct volume of detergent used in the process is of vital importance and the 'Clinic' incorporates a sophisticated measuring and verification device for dispensing the detergent. If the correct volume of detergent is not provided, the programme will 'failsafe' and abort.

Physical - Physical energy is created through the pump circuit incorporating wash arms and spray nozzles. The 'Clinic' measures the pressure and flow of the process water via a sensor and will 'failsafe' if the optimum performance is not achieved.

Secondary Control

The 'Clinic' monitors an additional 21 process parameters to maintain continuity of the process at all times.

Unique Integral Class AA air gap

It is a legal requirement within the European Union for washer disinfectors to be installed to the requirements of EN1717. This requires that the machine includes integral class AA air gap or that a separate tank for each individual water supply is provided.
The 'Clinic' uniquely incorporates an AA air gap eliminating the need for expensive external tanks and associated pipe work to be installed.

Unique Forced Air Drying

The Dawmed 'Clinic' offers a 'forced' air drying stage to ensure fast effective drying prior to sterilisation.

'IF THE PRODUCT ISN'T CLEAN AND DRY, THEN THE STERILISATION PROCESS WILL BE COMPROMISED'
The double door 'Clinic' has been designed for zoning applications and can be used in either 'through the wall' situations in common with SSD's in hospitals or can be placed sideways on the bench to create a natural workflow from 'dirty' to 'clean'.
