Washer disinfectors are essential in a number of different healthcare and laboratory settings where they provide highly effective cleaning and disinfection, in line with standards and regulations. However, to keep these performing effectively, regular servicing is important. But how often does your washer disinfector need to be serviced and why should you choose a professional team for servicing a washer disinfector?
A washer disinfector’s main purpose is to clean and disinfect medical equipment, such as surgical instruments and glassware. Over time, there can be an accumulation of organic matter, mineral deposits, and residue from disinfectants, and these can compromise both the efficiency and effectiveness of your washer disinfector. As such, regular servicing that includes a thorough inspection of the machine’s components, cleaning of filters, and replacement of worn-out parts can not only enhance the lifespan of the washer disinfector, but it can also ensure the consistent delivery of sterilised instruments.
Ideally, a washer disinfector should be serviced by a professional team at least once every year. However, if you are working in a facility with heavy usage, professional servicing may need to be implemented more frequently, up to every 6 months.
