The Miele PWD 8682 AD is a state-of-the-art washer-disinfector designed for the thorough cleaning and thermal disinfection of medical instruments, dental tools, and related articles, including theatre clog shoes, in dental practices, hospitals, surgical centers, and veterinary clinics. Engineered with Miele’s renowned German precision, this unit combines advanced cleaning technology, flexible programming, and sustainable features to deliver hygienic, residue-free results while ensuring compliance with stringent standards such as ISO 9001:2015 and EN ISO 15883. Recommended by leading instrument manufacturers like Aesculap and Geuder, the PWD 8682 AD offers exceptional performance, safety, and efficiency, making it an essential solution for high-throughput reprocessing needs in medical and dental environments.

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.

• 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. 23 preset, adjustable, cycles plus 5 freely programmable programme slots provide flexibility for complex reprocessing needs.

• Hygienic and Durable Design: The stainless steel wash cabinet developed by Miele Professional sets new hygiene standards. Crevice-free, it is welded using laser technology and its smooth joins stop dirt deposits from building up. This prevents the adhesion of blood and other soiling. An additional level of hygiene is achieved by installing the heater elements outside the wash cabinet.

• Sustainable Operation: Optimizes resource use with efficient water and energy consumption, supported by the variable-speed pump and demineralized water (AD) connection. Concentrated 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 WiFi (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. Preventive maintenance programs and approved consumables (e.g., filters, nozzles) ensure long-term reliability and minimal downtime.

Applications
