General description
This Miele washer-disinfector is a medical device as defined in the
Medical Device Regulation MDR (EU) 2017/745.
Washer-disinfectors are used to wash and thermally disinfect
reprocessable medical devices.
How it works
Medical devices are cleaned and disinfected using programmes
validated by the user in which the water quality and temperature as
well as the process chemicals and system components used are
selected based on the nature of the soiling and the types of medical
device being reprocessed.
Thermal disinfection usually takes place during the final rinse.
Thermolabile medical shoes are an exception in this case and
undergo thermochemical disinfection.
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 use of suitable load carriers (mobile units, modules, inserts, etc.)
is important to ensure adequate reprocessing of the medical devices.
Medical use
The cleaning result, achieved by means of the Vario TD procedure, for
example, must ensure that reprocessable medical devices can be
disinfected correctly, that subsequent sterilisation can be carried out
and that items can be used again safely.
To ensure standardisation, medical devices should ideally be
reprocessed using machine-based cleaning processes.
Purpose
This Miele washer-disinfector can be used to clean, rinse, disinfect
and, depending on the type of device, dry reprocessable medical
devices in healthcare institutions such as dental/medical practices,
hospitals, outpatient clinics or veterinary practices. It is also essential
to heed the information issued by the manufacturers of the medical
devices (EN ISO 17664), as well as the information issued by the
process chemical manufacturers.

Intended use
10
Contraindications
Flexible endoscopes or products with reprocessing recommendations
stating that they are not suitable for reprocessing in washer-

consequences of an inadequate earthing system
(e.g. electric shock).

Warning and Safety instructions
16
 A damaged or leaking machine can pose a threat to your safety.
Always switch off a damaged or leaking machine immediately and
call the Miele Customer Service Department.
 Label cleaning machines which have been taken out of operation
and secure them against being switched on again without
authorisation. The cleaning machine may only be put back into
operation once it has been successfully repaired by the Miele
Customer Service Department or by an appropriately qualified
specialist.
 Personnel operating the machine should be trained regularly.
Untrained personnel must not be allowed access to the machine or
its controls.
 Only use process chemicals which have been approved by their
manufacturer for the relevant application. The manufacturer of the
process chemicals is liable for any negative influences on the material
of the load and 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
machine to tip up and be damaged or cause an injury.
 Be careful when sorting items with pointed ends. Position them in
the machine so that you will not hurt yourself or create a danger for
others.
 Broken glass can result in serious injury when loading or
unloading. Broken glass items must not be processed in the machine.
 When using this machine in the higher temperature ranges, be
especially careful not to scald or burn yourself or come into contact
with irritant substances when opening the door. Where disinfecting
agents are used there is a danger of inhaling toxic fumes.

Warning and Safety instructions
17
 Where there is a risk of toxic or chemical substances occurring in
or leaking into the suds solution (e.g. aldehyde in the disinfecting
agent), it is essential to regularly check door seals and make sure that
the steam condenser is functioning correctly. Opening the machine
door during a programme interruption carries particular risks in such
circumstances.
 Should personnel accidentally come into contact with toxic
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.
 There may be a risk of slipping if liquid is spilt on the floor
depending on the type of flooring and footwear being worn. Keep the
floor dry where possible and take care to clean up any liquid spills
straight away. Take the necessary precautions when cleaning up
hazardous substances and hot liquids.
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.

Warning and Safety instructions
18
 Medical devices are reprocessed by means of thermal disinfection.
Heat-sensitive load items (e.g. theatre shoes) can be disinfected
using a chemical disinfecting agent. To do this, a special
reprocessing programme must be provided by the Miele Customer
Service Department. Disinfection parameters are based on claims
made by the disinfecting agent manufacturer. Please observe, in
particular, their instructions on handling, operating conditions and
effectiveness.
Chemo-thermal procedures of this type are not suitable for the
reprocessing of medical devices.
 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.
 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.

Warning and Safety instructions
19
 When using process chemicals, always consult the instructions
issued by individual manufacturers. Process chemicals must only be
used for the purpose they are designed for by the manufacturer to
avoid any material damage or the occurrence of very strong chemical
reactions (e.g. oxyhydrogen explosion).
 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, e.g. in chemical analysis, the operator must carry out
regular quality control 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.
 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.
 Chloride 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.
