Key Features
-
Superior Cleaning and Disinfection: Equipped with a variable-speed heater pump, the PWD 8682 adjusts wash pressure to remove stubborn soiling at high pressure or ensure complete soaking at low pressure, delivering reliable cleaning and thermal disinfection at up to 93°C (e.g., Vario TD Dental program). The integrated heater element enhances water heating efficiency, ensuring optimal results for dental instruments, surgical tools, and clogs.
-
High-Capacity and Versatile Loading: Processes up to 44 transmission instruments, 44 suction devices, 8 mesh tray sets, 48 GYN specula, or 14 pairs of theatre clog shoes per cycle. Modular baskets and inserts, including the EasyLoad system, accommodate diverse instrument types, from dental handpieces to surgical instruments, ensuring flexible and efficient loading.
-
EcoDry Function: Features Miele’s patented AutoOpen door mechanism, which automatically opens at the end of the cycle when the chamber temperature falls below 70°C, facilitating faster drying and reducing cycle times for quick turnaround of instruments.
-
Advanced Process Monitoring: Includes spray arm and wash pressure monitoring to detect blockages or pressure drops, ensuring consistent cleaning results. Conductivity measurement (optional) verifies residue-free rinsing, while integrated oval-wheel counters ensure precise dosing of liquid process chemicals, supporting compliance with Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) and Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP).
-
Programmable Controls: Features the M Touch Flex full-touch color display for intuitive operation, allowing selection of specialized programs like Vario TD Dental, Vario TD GYN, Ophthalmology, and Theatre Shoes. Freely programmable cycles and up to 200 program slots provide flexibility for complex reprocessing needs.
-
Hygienic and Durable Design: Constructed with stainless steel (exterior and chamber) for corrosion resistance and hygiene, with oil-resistant surfaces suitable for medical environments. The 4-fold filtration system (large surface filter, coarse filter, glass breakage filter, and micro-fine filter) ensures clean water circulation, preventing contamination.
-
Sustainable Operation: Optimizes resource use with efficient water and energy consumption, supported by the variable-speed pump and demineralized water (AD) connection. Miele’s ProCare Dent process chemicals, including neutralizers and surfactants, minimize environmental impact while maintaining instrument integrity.
-
Safety and Documentation: Equipped with a comprehensive water damage protection system, automatic door-locking, and process documentation via USB/Ethernet (with optional LAN/RS232 modules) for traceability, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements. Spray arm monitoring guarantees reliable operation, reducing risks of incomplete cleaning.
-
Ergonomic and Maintenance-Friendly: Offers user-friendly touch controls with a 3-line display showing program name, actual/target temperature, countdown time, and error messages. Miele’s preventive maintenance programs and approved consumables (e.g., filters, nozzles) ensure long-term reliability and minimal downtime.
