Miele Professional has introduced a new product for hospitals seeking to reduce the incidence of postoperative eye inflammations. The G7899 Washer-Disinfector is equipped with baskets, trays and racks designed specifically to clean delicate microsurgical instruments used in cataract and other ophthalmic surgeries. As a freestanding system, the G7899 allows hospitals to follow industry guidelines and manufacturer’s directions for use (DFU), which recommends the separation of ophthalmic instruments from other surgical tools during reprocessing. It also uses specialized injectors to effectively remove soil and debris from the narrow lumens in phaco-emulsification hand pieces and other cannulated instruments used in ophthalmic surgery. The low-spray pressure combined with high-volume water circulation provides gentle yet powerful cleaning and rinsing. Six preinstalled programs, including a specialized ophthalmology program, simplify operation for users and a variety of alarms and safety devices are built in.
