the guardians of values

"Central Stersdepot" is a place where people work heroically every day to promote values such as patient and staff safety, high-quality and hygienic equipment conditions, and cost efficiency. But these values are being threatened by dark forces such as pathogens, organic and inorganic residues, cost and stress: their only aim is to bring about disruption.

In order to avoid having to fight this energy-sapping battle against these dark forces alone, the people of "Central Stersdepot" are seeking support. Superpowers help to ward off these dark forces, just like competent and reliable sidekicks.

As Guardians of Values, the heroes of "Central Stersdepot", their superpowers and their tireless sidekicks make RUMED/CSSD history every day.

Day in and day out, the RUMED/CSSD heroes make an important contribution to keeping the clinic running. In addition to ensuring patient and staff safety, it is also important to protect the clinic’s valuable equipment, maintain the integrity of its washer-disinfectors and autoclaves, and ensure that the regulatory requirements for reprocessing medical devices are met. And all this with high cost efficiency despite a shortage of skilled workers. Really heroic!

1. Safety for patients and staff

When reprocessing medical devices, patient and staff safety is paramount.

Clean instruments are the basis for successful sterilisation, which ensures the safety of the instruments when used on the next patient.

Staff protection is increased by wearing personal protective equipment and minimising manual reprocessing.
patientensicherheit
Challenges in reprocessing medical devices, equipment and instruments
  • Contamination that leads to persistent residues on medical devices
  • Increasingly complex instrument designs with hard-to-reach locations
  • Long waiting times between the operating room and the RUMED/CSSD that cause residues to dry and make cleaning more difficult
Recommendations from Borer process specialists

Use chemistry with exceptional cleaning power; a formulation with cleaning power in reserve to deliver results, without manual pre-cleaning, even after longer waiting/stand times.

2. Preserving the value of the equipment

Factors such as poor water quality, harsh conditions during sterilisation, inorganic residues, rust, etc., can have a harmful influence on equipment. With optimal reprocessing procedures, maintaining your instruments and WD and steriliser chambers, and regular inspections, the value of the equipment can be preserved.

top 3 services der borer chemie ag

1. Optimal reprocessing procedures

With the products from our deconex® portfolio, you can achieve excellent cleaning results when reprocessing your medical devices. With an optimised cleaning process, you can also preserve the value of your equipment and save on overall costs.

The Borer service and application engineers are always at your side to advise, support and accompany you in process optimisation.

 
These are your Borer sidekicks

2. Maintaining the value of equipment

Looking inside an older steriliser often reveals the effects of the harsh environment during steam sterilisation: extensive, reddish-brown discolouration.  This material could be transferred to the medical devices being reprocessed, it makes a visual assessment of cleanliness after manual and automated reprocessing more difficult or, in some cases, impossible. This can become a potential source of risk for patients or lead to high repair and replacement costs.

Let’s not have it come to that! Take advantage of professional derouging by our service and application engineers.
