Novel 2 component system for automated instrument reprocessing
BODE Chemie’s novel liquid enzymatic 2 component cleaning system optimizes automated reprocessing of all medical devices and utensils. Dismoclean® twin basic and Dismoclean® twin zyme are specially designed to achieve validated cleaning, and, at the same time, can be applied for alkali-sensitive materials. The system hence represents a real alternative to conventional neutral, neutral-enzymatic or mildly alkaline cleaners, with which a validation of the processes in accordance with the DGKH (German Association for Hospital Hygiene), DGSV (German Society for Sterile Supply), and AKI (Working Group Instrument Preparation) guidelines normally is not successful. Furthermore, Dismoclean® twin basic and Dismoclean® twin zyme provide brilliant cleaning results at a pH value of > 10 (RKI recommendation) for minimizing the risk in case of vCJD, and include a broad material compatibility, even with aluminum, non-ferrous metal, and similar sensitive materials.
Synergetic effect
The product system’s special feature is the separation of the ingredients
important for the cleaning efficiency into two liquid products - a concept
that allows for the application of particular efficient ingredients. With
Dismoclean® twin basic and Dismoclean® twin zyme the important
components, such as complexing agents and proteolytic enzymes, remain chemically
stable, and, additionally, achieve a synergetic effect. Combined in the
WD’s Vario program, both products effectively remove blood, tissue
residues, proteins and other organic contaminations – even at low
dosage.
High material compatibility
The material compatibility of the 2 component cleaning system comprises
aluminum, non-ferrous metal, titanium, rigid endoscopes, synthetics,
glass, etc. Dismoclean® twin basic and Dismoclean® twin zyme
are suitable for the automated, thermal reprocessing of all medical instruments.
The dual cleaning system is the product of choice particularly for instruments
that do not resist an alkaline cleaning with high pH values, and are
excluded in the instrument manufacturers’ recommendations.
