DEKO 2000

DEKO

Deko-2000 is a microprocessor controlled large capacity cabinet washer-thermal disinfector for professional use in all medical, pharmaceutical and veterinary establishments, built to withstand continual everyday use.

Deko-2000 is available as a single door or passthrough model, with or without a dryer. The structures are made of stainless AISI 304 and acid-resistant AISI 316 steel, and its components selected on the basis of stringent tests. In addition to durability, efficiency and dependability, special attention is also paid to the many-sided and troublefree performance of the machine.

Control

A microprocessor provides the selection of 5 different programmes. Wash water temperature can be adjusted to enable the cleaning of surgical instruments, rubber and plastic goods, as well as glassware. The disinfection temperature and time are being programmed in accordance with the existing standards and can be regulated by using special codes. In cases of malfunction, a red indicator comes on and, if the set values for disinfection time & temperature have not been reached, the doors do not open. A security lock also prevents them from opening while the machine is running. A chart recorder or printer and a cycle counter are optional.

Construction

Deko-2000 has rotating wash arms and an automatic connection for spray racks injecting water inside cannulated instruments, hoses and bottle type glassware. Design of the demountable wash arms secures a complete contact with all parts of the load and the wash chamber and allows easy cleaning of the spray holes. Dosage of liquid detergent is carried out automatically by means of a pump and can easily be regulated for agents with varying concentration. Extra detergent pump, wetting agent pump and distilled water feed are available as options. The shelves are mounted on slides and are fully removable.

Programmes

The machine comes with three different washing programmes as standard. As needed, two other programmes can be utilized. Their content can be tailored to the customer’s wishes. Depending on the number of selected phases, the programmes normally last from 10 to 60 minutes. In models with an integrated drying unit drying time and temperature are regulated independently.

Construction and equipment

The Deko-2000 is easy to install and service. The machine’s connections and those of its parts which require adjustment are situated towards the bottom of the machine. The hot and cold water connections come equipped with check valves, back valves, mud filters and siphonage protection. The flexible connection hoses are standard equipment, as the Ø 50 mm outlet hose. The electrical cable is 2 m long, the connection semifixed. In laboratory models, the distilled water feed is accomplished by either a solenoid valve or a separate pump. In the steam heated model the condensate connection is also flexible.

LARGE CAPACITY

DEKO 190 has a large wash chamber and capacity for automatic emptying and processing of 2 bedpans with lids and 4 urine bottles simultaneously. The integrated drop down shelf provides space for 4 hand wash basins or a mop bucket with seating ring. The shelf can also be utilised as a base to accommodate and process inserts and washing accessories e.g. kidney dishes, bowls, vases, toilet brushes / holders, as well as, various hollowware. Using optional holders and baskets enables the correct positioning and easy loading of various items, eg; suction jars & medicine pots, and extends the DEKO 190’s capacity and versatility.

SAFE AND SECURE

The door is locked securely throughout the cycle. A green indicator will advise when the door is unlocked for opening. An audible indicator may be added to draw attention to the ending of the cycle.

In order to guarantee that the values of the critical process variables were truly obtained and as programmed, the Deko 190 is equipped with the verification level A – independent temperature verification sensor.

Cleaning efficacy is increased by dosing automatically the precise pre-determined volume of detergent at the correct time of the wash cycle. The detergent container is safely positioned into the easily accessible housing. The intelligent control system monitors the washing pressure constantly and secures the achievement of the pre-set process values.

A low level detecting system will illuminate the red indicator to warn when the detergent volume is running low.

QUIET, EFFICIENT AND RELIABLE

The DEKO 190 occupies its space efficiently. One unit requires only W600xD630 mm of floor space. Connections to water, electricity and drain are provided with all necessary safety features. Regular control & maintenance of the machine is made quick and easy by the service mode of the microprocessor and the easily accessible components. Water is taken into the chamber from the integrated water tank. User and Maintenance Manuals include all relevant details and instructions required. Any information, advice, personnel training and service calls are attended to with the utmost dedication and urgency. Availability of spares is guaranteed for a minimum of 10 years after date of shipment and the complete programme and software lodged securely with an independent body.

Durability and reliability in continuous, heavy and busy institutional operating circumstances have been the key factors in the design of the Deko 190.
