This Miele laboratory glassware washer can be used to reprocess
laboratory glassware and laboratory utensils with water based media.
The process includes cleaning, rinsing and where required
disinfection and drying. Due to the wide variety of laboratory
glassware and laboratory utensils on the market, it may be necessary
in some cases to establish whether it is suitable for reprocessing in a
laboratory glassware washer. This will depend on its use and the type
of soiling present as well as disinfection parameters. Please also
observe information provided by the manufacturer of the laboratory
glassware and laboratory utensils.
Laboratory glassware and laboratory utensils suitable for
reprocessing are for example:
– Vessels such as test tubes, beakers, flasks, cylinders, etc.
– Measuring vessels such as measuring cylinders, pipettes,
volumetric flasks, etc.
– Dishes such as petri dishes, watch glasses, etc.
– Plates such as slides, sequencing plates, etc.
– Small items such as lids, spatulas, magnetic stirring rods, stoppers,
etc.
– Other items such as funnels, pipe/hose pieces, etc.
Examples of application areas:
– Laboratories in schools, colleges and universities,
– Research, quality assurance, development, technology and
production.
– Different areas of inorganic, organic, analytical and physical
chemistry,
– Biology, microbiology and biotechnology,
– Hospital laboratories.
Laboratory glassware and laboratory utensils for reprocessing are
referred to as the wash load if they are not more closely defined.
Processing conditions must be suitable for the wash load and for the
type of soiling. Process chemicals must be suitable for the type of
soiling and for methods of analysis being used.
The use of a suitable carrier (wash carts, baskets, modules, inserts,
etc.) is important to ensure the adequate cleaning of the load.
Examples are given in the section "Areas of application".
This machine is programmed to carry out the final rinse with mains
water or with processed water of a quality to suit the application (e.g.
purified water, fully demineralized water or demineralized water).
It is particularly important to ensure the appropriate water quality for
the rinse and final rinse of items for analytical purposes.

The machine can be qualified for process validation.
Spray pressure and spray arm monitoring
The machine has a sensor for monitoring spray pressure in order, for
example, to detect pressure fluctuations due to misloading or foam in
the water circulation system. Spray pressure monitoring is set at the
factory to be active in the "Cleaning" and "Final rinse" wash blocks.
The spray pressure monitoring result is documented together with an
optional process documentation.
Spray arm speed can also be monitored, e.g. for prompt detection of
blockages due to misloading or foam in the water circulation system.
Spray arm speed monitoring can be activated or deactivated via the
programmable settings.
Miele Service can make further settings for spray pressure and spray
arm monitoring.

User profiles
Daily operators Daily operators must be instructed in operating and loading the
machine and trained regularly to guarantee safe daily use. They
require knowledge of machine reprocessing of laboratory glassware
and laboratory utensils.
Tasks for daily routine operation are located in the Settings menu.
This menu is freely accessible to all users.
Administration More advanced tasks, e.g. interrupting or cancelling a program,
require more detailed knowledge about the machine reprocessing of
laboratory glassware and laboratory utensils.
Alterations or adaptations of the machine, e.g. accessories used or
on-site conditions require additional specific knowledge of the
machine.
Validation processes assume specialised knowledge of the machine
reprocessing of laboratory glassware and utensils, of the processes
involved and of applicable standards and legislation.
Administrative processes and settings are allocated to the Additional
settings menu. This is protected from unauthorized access by a PIN
code.
