* This is not a wash cycle. Always run a wash cycle following the rinse & hold cycle.
** Cycle times depend on the temperature and pressure of incoming water.
*** Water consumption includes drying phase
The P3 disinfection temperature reflects the minimum guaranteed temperature at any
time during disinfection anywhere in the wash chamber. However, the disinfection
temperature is set to be around 93°C, with an upper switch point of the heater at 94°C
and a lower switch point of 92°C.
The HYDRIM M2 G4 incorporates a unique design where the air from the dryer motor
is pushed through the wash arms. The wash arms turn during the second high-speed
drying phase. This unique feature allows the HYDRIM M2 G4 to eliminate the risk of
water drops falling onto the dried instruments during unloading.
NOTE: ISO 15883-1 describes the time-temperature relationships for moist heat disinfection as follows:
"For a moist heat disinfection process, a particular time at a particular temperature can be expected to have
a predictable lethal effect against a standardized population of organisms. Definition of moist heat disinfection
process may be achieved by means of the A
process at different temperatures to assess the overall lethality of the cycle and express this as the equivalent
exposure time to a specified temperature."
