The combination of a high-pressure spray arm and the patented Pulse Flushing System, ensures that your instruments and hand pieces are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected both internally and externally. Using the Pico automated washer disinfector demonstrates your compliance with documented best practice.

Pico’s one-touch operation offers the best option for the control and repeatability of the cleaning process; which in turn can be validated and documented to provide a permanent record of your decontamination procedure.

Pre-wash – Using the high-pressure spray arm and the lumen flushing facility; cold water at a temperature no greater than 35°C is used to remove gross contamination from the external and internal parts of the instruments.

Wash – Controlled temperature wash (40-45 °C) in combination with automatically dispensed enzyme/alkaline detergent removes remaining residual bio burden inside and out.

Rinse – Both high pressure spray arm and pulsed lumen flushing are utilised to remove all process residues and detergent from the surfaces of the instrument, leaving the instrument ready for the thermal disinfection process.

Thermal disinfection – The temperature of the load is raised and held at the required disinfection holding time therefore rendering instruments safe for handling and inspection prior to the sterilisation process.

Drying – Forced hot air is circulated within the chamber to remove residual moisture from the instruments and hand piece channels leaving the instrument load dry and ready for the sterilisation process
