Intended Purpose and Performance
The intended purpose of the Prestige PM-
D3 Washer Disinfector is to clean, or clean
and disinfect surgical instruments and
associated products. This is achieved
through the use of separate wash and
disinfection stages which are controlled
and monitored using sophisticated
electronics to ensure optimum
decontamination.
Washing is achieved using a unique,
specially formulated and clinically
validated decontamination liquid which is
introduced into the cycle during the
programme.
Raising the temperature of the water
within the wash chamber to a
predetermined level, and then maintaining
this temperature for a specified period of
time, effectively achieves thermal
disinfection.
If a wash/disinfect cycle fails to achieve
any one of the predetermined parameters
then the system reports a failed cycle. The
unit registers such a failure and brings it to
the attention of the operator, who is then
unable to remove the load without being
aware that the cycle has been aborted.
To improve cleaning performance, and to
help reduce scaling during thermal
disinfection, a dedicated water treatment
additive (AWT Fluid) is automatically
introduced into the cycle. This helps
ensure that the unit maintains optimum
performance throughout its’ operational
life.
The Prestige PM-D3 Washer Disinfector
has been designed to perform within the
guidelines recommended in the Health
Technical Memorandum 2030 (HTM2030).
A stringent quality control programme
ensures that every unit is manufactured
and tested under controlled conditions to
ensure that all units perform identically.
