  • Publication number: 20230087279
    Abstract: The invention relates to method of filling a medical washer/disinfector. A desired pump speed of a circulation pump is determined. A predefined filling level associated with the desired pump speed is identified. Liquid is fed into a washing chamber while the circulation pump is running at less than said desired pump speed. While the liquid is continued to be fed so that the liquid level rises, the pump speed is increased based on the rising liquid level until said desired pump speed is reached. When the pump is running at said desired pump speed, it is detected when the liquid has been filled to the predefined filling level, and upon such detection the feeding of the liquid into the washing chamber is interrupted. Then invention also relates to a method of operating a medical washer/disinfector, a control unit and a medical washer/disinfector.

  • Patent number: 7754166
    Abstract: A disinfection apparatus is disclosed for disinfecting fluid cleaning of health care objects and the like. The disinfection apparatus includes a fluid system for supplying fluid to a chamber, an at least partially movably arranged first connecting part with an active and an inactive position, which is adjusted to a mobile object holder, which object holder is to be placed in the chamber and has a second connecting part connectable to the first connecting part. The first connecting part is movable, under the action of the pressure in the fluid system, between a position disconnected from the holder and a position connected to the active position, i.e. to the second connecting part. A fluid connectable mobile object holder is also disclosed, which is adapted to be placed in a chamber of a disinfection apparatus as stated above.

  • Patent number: 6959714
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a loading system in a washing installation comprising a plurality of dishwashers arranged essentially in parallel. The loading system comprises a dish holder to be loaded with goods to be washed, and a traveller which is adapted to convey the dish holder to a selected dishwasher, into which loading is to take place, the traveller being displaceably arranged along the dishwashers arranged in parallel. The invention also relates to a washing installation and a method therefor. The installation comprises a plurality of essentially parallel dishwashers of a straight-way type, which are essentially built into a separating wall portion to form an inlet side and an outlet side. The installation has two mutually independent loading systems for loading of goods to be washed on the inlet side and unloading of washed goods on the outlet side.
