This Miele washer-disinfector is a Class IIb medical device
(Directive 93/42/EEC).
This Miele washer-disinfector can be used to clean, rinse, disinfect
(thermally and chemo-thermally) and dry reusable medical devices
such as those use in surgeries, hospitals and outpatient clinics.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions (according to EN ISO 17664)
and local and national requirements and guidelines, on how to
process their items by machine as well as instructions provided by
the manufacturer of any chemical agents used.
Examples of application areas:
– surgical instruments including those used in minimally invasive
surgery (MIC),
– anaesthetics and intensive care,
– ophthalmology,
– arthroscopy and rectoscopy, with the exception of flexible
endoscopes,
– ear, nose and throat surgery,
– gynaecology and urology,
– baby bottles and teats,
– ward end utensils such as kidney dishes, bowls and theatre shoes,
– hospital laboratories.
Medical devices for reprocessing are referred to as the wash load if
they are not more closely defined.
Processing items by machine achieves reproducible results and
should be used in preference to processing them by hand. Where
disinfection is required for the protection of staff and/or patients, a
thermal disinfection programme, e.g. the Vario TD programme should
be selected.
- Heat-sensitive theatre shoes are an exception to this. They should
be reprocessed using a chemo-thermal disinfection programme.
According to the A0 concept described in EN ISO 15883-1, thermal
disinfection occurs at 80°C (+ 5 °C, - 0 °C) with 10 min holding time
(A0 600), or at 90°C (+ 5 °C, - 0 °C) with 5 min holding time (A0 3000),
depending on the disinfection result required. The efficacy standard
A0 3000 is suitable for deactivating the HBV virus.
Regional and/or other official directives may apply (CFPP, HTM or
relevant technical memorandums in the UK). Refer to your country's
local and national health and safety regulations and guidelines.

Intended use
9
The cleaning programme must be chosen according to the type of
soiling and load being processed.
The agents used for reprocessing the products should be selected to
suit the level of cleaning required.
The cleaning result must ensure that items can be disinfected
correctly, that subsequent sterilisation can be carried out and that the
items can be used again safely.
Medical devices are best processed using the Vario TD programme
where applicable.
The use of a suitable carrier (mobile unit, module, insert, etc.) is
important to ensure the adequate cleaning of the load. Examples are
given in the section "Areas of application".
This machine is programmed to carry out the final rinse with mains
water or with processed water of a quality to suit the application (e.g.
purified water, fully demineralised water or demineralised water).
This machine complies with EN ISO 15883 for validation purposes.
Spray pressure and spray arm monitoring
This machine has a sensor for monitoring wash pressure during
active cleaning process phases.
Spray arm pressure monitoring is carried out in accordance with the
general validation guidelines of the German Society for Hospital
Hygiene (DGKH), the German Society for Sterile Supply (DGSV) and
the Working Group for Instrument Preparation (AKI) for the validation
and routine monitoring of machine cleaning and disinfection
processes for thermally stable medical devices in accordance with
EN ISO 15883.
Wash pressure monitoring results are recorded in the process
documentation.
Spray arm speed can also be monitored, e.g. for prompt detection of
blockages due to misloading or foam in the water circulation system.
Spray arm monitoring can be activated or deactivated by Miele
Service.

Warning and Safety instructions
15
 The electrical safety of this machine can only be guaranteed when
correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety requirement
is met. If in any doubt, please have the on-site wiring system tested
by a qualified electrician. Miele cannot be held liable for the
consequences of an inadequate earthing system
(e.g. electric shock).
 A damaged or leaking machine could be dangerous and
compromise your safety. Disconnect the machine from the mains
immediately and call the Miele Service Department.
 Personnel operating the machine should be trained regularly.
Untrained personnel must not be allowed access to the machine or
its controls.
 Only use chemical agents which have been approved by their
manufacturer for use in the application you are using. The chemical
agent manufacturer is responsible for any negative influences on the
material the load is made from and for any damage they may cause
to the machine.
 Take care when handling chemical agents. These may contain
irritant, corrosive or toxic ingredients.
Please observe the chemical agent manufacturer's safety instructions
and safety data sheets.
Wear protective gloves and goggles.
 The machine is designed for operation with water and
recommended additive chemical agents only. Organic solvents and
flammable liquid agents must not be used in it.
This could cause an explosion, damage rubber or plastic components
in the machine and cause liquids to leak out of it.
 The water in the cabinet must not be used as drinking water.
 Do not lift the machine by protruding parts such as the control
panel or the opened service flap as these could be damaged or torn
off.
 Do not sit or lean on the opened door. This could cause the

vapours or chemical agents, follow the emergency instructions given
in the manufacturer's safety data sheets.
 Mobile units, baskets, modules, inserts and the load must be
allowed to cool down before they are unloaded. Any water remaining
in containers could still be very hot. Empty them into the wash
cabinet before taking them out.
 Never clean the machine or near vicinity with a water hose or a
pressure washer.
 The machine must be disconnected from the mains electricity
supply before any maintenance or repair work is carried out.

Warning and Safety instructions
17
Quality assurance
The following points should be observed to assist in maintaining
quality standards when processing medical devices, in order to
protect patients, and to avoid damage to the loads being
cleaned.
 If it is necessary to interrupt a programme in exceptional
circumstances, this may only be done by authorised personnel.
 The standard of cleaning and disinfection in the disinfection
programmes must be routinely confirmed by the user. The process
must be thermo-electrically validated on a regular basis, and checked
against documented control results.
Chemical disinfection procedures should also be validated using bio
indicators.
 For thermal disinfection, use temperatures and temperature holding
times to achieve the required infection prophylaxis in accordance with
current health and safety regulations.
 Make sure items being washed are suitable for machine
reprocessing and are in good condition. Plastic items must be
thermally stable. Nickel plated items and aluminium items can be
machine processed using special procedures only.
Items containing iron, and soiling containing residual rust must not be
placed in the cabinet.
 Medical products are processed by means of thermal disinfection.
Disinfection of heat-sensitive items, e.g. theatre shoes, can be carried
out using a chemical disinfecting agent. Miele Service will set up a
special programme for this purpose. The range of effective
disinfection is based on claims made by the producer of the
disinfecting agent. Their instructions on handling, use and
effectiveness must be observed. The use of chemical disinfection
procedures is the responsibility of the operator.
Chemical disinfection processes are not suitable for the reprocessing
of medical products.
 Chemical agents can, in certain circumstances, cause damage to
the machine. Always follow the recommendations of the chemical
agent manufacturer.
In case of damage or doubt about compatibility, please contact
Miele.
 Instrument care products based on paraffin oils (white oils) can
damage the elastomers and plastic in the machine. Such care
products must not be dispensed as chemical agents in this machine
even if they are recommended for machine use by the care product
manufacturer.

Warning and Safety instructions
18
 Abrasive substances must not be placed in the machine as they
could cause damage to the mechanical components of the water
supply. Any residues of abrasive substances on items to be washed
must be removed without trace before reprocessing in the machine.
 Pre-treatments with cleaning or disinfecting agents can create
foam, as can certain types of soiling and chemical agents. Foam can
have an adverse effect on the disinfection and cleaning result.
 Processes must be set up such that foam cannot escape from the
wash cabinet. It would hinder the correct functioning of the machine.
 The process used must be monitored on a regular basis by the
supervisor to check foaming levels.
 To avoid the risk of damage to the machine and any accessories
used with it caused by chemical agents, soiling and any reaction
between the two please read the notes in "Chemical processes and
technology".
 Where a chemical agent is recommended on technical application
grounds (e.g. a cleaning agent), this does not imply that the
manufacturer of the machine accepts liability for the effect of the
chemical on the items being cleaned.
Please be aware that changes in formulation, storage conditions etc.
which may not be publicised by the chemical manufacturer, can have
a negative effect on the cleaning result.
 When using a chemical agent it is essential that the manufacturer's
instructions are followed. The chemical agent must only be used for
the application it is designed for and in the situation specified, to
avoid material damage and such dangers as a severe explosive
chemical reaction (e.g. an explosive oxyhydrogen gas reaction).
 Always follow the relevant manufacturer's instructions on storage
and disposal of chemical agents.
 Particles ≥0.8mm are removed by the filters in the wash cabinet.
Smaller particles may find their way into the circulation system. For
this reason, processing of loads with narrow openings requires
additional filtering of the wash water.
 In critical applications where very stringent requirements have to
be met, it is strongly recommended that all the relevant factors for the
process, such as chemical agents, water quality etc. are discussed
with the Miele Application Technology specialists.
 If the cleaning result is subject to particularly stringent
requirements, a regular quality control test should be carried out by
the user to ensure that required standards of cleanliness are being
achieved.
 The mobile units, baskets, modules and inserts that hold the load
must be used only as intended.
Hollow items must be thoroughly cleaned, internally and externally.

Warning and Safety instructions
19
 Secure small and light items with cover nets or place in a mesh
tray for small items, so that they do not block the spray arms.
 Empty any containers or utensils before loading them.
 The amount of residual solvents and acids on items going into the
cabinet should be minimal.
There should be no more than a trace of any solvents with a flash
point of below 21°C.
 Chlorous solutions, in particular hydrochloric acid, must not be
placed in the cabinet.
 Ensure that solutions or steam containing chlorides or hydrochloric
acid do not come into contact with the stainless steel outer casing of
the machine in order to avoid any damage through corrosion.
 After any plumbing work the water pipework to the machine will
need to be vented. If this is not done, components can be damaged.
 The gaps between a built-in machine and adjacent cabinetry must
not be filled e.g. with silicone sealant as this could compromise the
ventilation to the circulation pump.
 Follow the installation instructions in the operating and installation
instructions.

Warning and Safety instructions
20
Using accessories
 Only Miele accessories should be connected to this machine. They
must be suitable for the application they are required for. Consult
Miele for details on the type of accessories that can be used.
 Only use Miele mobile units, baskets, modules and inserts with this
washer-disinfector. Using mobile units, baskets, modules and inserts
made by other manufacturers, or making modifications to Miele
accessories can cause unsatisfactory cleaning results, for which
Miele cannot be held liable. Any resultant damage would not be
covered by the guarantee.
