  • Patent number: 11123448
    Abstract: A device, a method, and a computer program for use in a device for washing, disinfecting and/or sterilizing medical, dental, laboratory and/or pharmaceutical goods. The device can have a chamber for receiving the goods, a door associated with the chamber and a processing circuitry for creating and storing a track record of at least one parameter of the washing, disinfecting and/or sterilizing process performed by the device. The user interface can be operable by the user to cause the process circuitry to electronically sign the track record, where the signing of the track record is associated with at least one condition on the device, such as controlling doors. The device, method and computer program facilitates an easy and secure signing of a track record directly on the device. The device may be a single door device, or a two door pass-through device.

  • Patent number: 11116861
    Abstract: Devices having user-interactive guided control interfaces. The devices are for washing, disinfecting and/or sterilizing medical, dental, laboratory and/or pharmaceutical goods. Devices may include sterilizers, washer-disinfectors, autoclaves, and washers. Users are only presented with user interface objects which are appropriate at each step or process state of the guided process. Devices may include a touch screen, a chamber for goods to be processed, and a door to the chamber. Different sets of user interface objects are presented on a display for different respective states of the device.

  • Patent number: 10549002
    Abstract: Method and system for guiding a user to intervene in an on-going process in a device for washing, disinfecting, drying and/or sterilizing medical, dental, laboratory and/or pharmaceutical goods. The device includes a chamber for receiving the goods, a door, and a display. The device receives input from the user indicating an intention to intervene in the on-going process, optionally pauses the process, and displays a plurality of graphical interactive user-interface objects including a first object associated with aborting the process. If the process is considered resumable after a hypothetical opening of the door in the current process state, the objects include a second object associated with confirming holding the on-going process for subsequent resumption. Users may also cancel the intervention. Users are informed of consequences of intervening in the on-going process, and have control of how to proceed. The disclosure also relates to corresponding devices and computer programs.
