Description of the machine
This Miele washer-disinfector is
capable of cleaning a wide range of
medical and laboratory products, and
disinfecting them either thermally in
temperatures up to 95 °C or
chemo-thermally in temperatures up to
65 °C with the addition of a suitable
chemical agent in accordance with
general standards of hygiene and those
required for the containing of
epidemics.
Medical products include e. g. surgical
and minimally invasive instruments,
instruments and utensils used in
anaesthetics and intensive care, etc.
Laboratory products include e.g. wide
and narrow necked flasks, conical
flasks, measuring cylinders, pipettes,
beakers, Petri dishes etc.
Follow medical and laboratory product
manufacturer's instructions on how to
process their items by machine. The
DESIN vario TD programme provides
optimum protection for rigid fibre
optics, patient systems and surgical
motor systems which have been
declared by their manufacturers as
being suitable for machine processing.
Optional drying with sterile filtered hot
air is also available.
These cleaning processes use
hydrogen peroxide under alkaline
conditions to oxidise and remove
protein soiling. The cleaning agent
used must be tenside free and have a
pH value of between 11 and 11.5.
The OXIVARIO procedure has an
alkaline main wash making it
particularly suitable for the processing
of surgical instruments where existing
procedures are not satisfactory and is
very effective for the final stage of
instrument processing.
The cleaning process is gentle enough
for instruments used in minimally
invasive surgery, including fibre optics,
where the manufacturer has declared
that they are suitable for processing
with an alkaline cleaning agent.
It is not suitable for anodised
aluminium.
Be aware that items made from alloys
containing titanium such as some
implants, do not always state the
material's compatibility. Processing
such items can result in colour
changes, rendering any coding on
them ineffective. If in doubt please
consult the manufacturer of the item.
This washer-disinfector is equipped to
run the OXIVARIO programmes. The
DOS 2 dispenser is used for the H
2O2
solution.
Two special programmes are available
for this cleaning process, OXIVARIO
PLUS and OXIVARIO.
4
Instruments processed using the
OXIVARIO PLUS or OXIVARIO
programmes must be very carefully
handled afterwards.
Description of the machine
Areas of application:
surgical instruments,
–
with the Vario-TD programme:
–
minimally invasive instruments can
be processed immediately after
being used,
anaesthetic and intensive care
–
instruments,
baby bottles and teats,
–
operating theatre shoes,
–
laboratory products used in research
–
and production as well as in all areas
of analysis and specimen taking,
including micro-biology and
biotechnology.
Instruments should preferably be
cleaned and then thermally disinfected
using the DESIN vario TD programme.
The parameters for thermal disinfection
in accordance with prEN ISO 15883-1
are 80 °C (+ 5 °C, - 0 °C) with a 10 min.
holding time or 90 °C (+ 5 °C, - 0 °C)
with a 5 min. holding time for the
inactivation of HBV.
In the U.K., reference should be made
to your local infection control officer for
guidelines of disinfection temperatures
and holding times at temperature in
accordance with HTM 2030.
In Germany, the parameters for
disinfection of a temperature of 93 °C,
with a holding time of 10 minutes,
correspond to effective areas A and B.
These have been adopted into the
official list for disinfection of instruments
in washer-disinfectors and
decontamination units, according to
section 3.2 § 18 IfSG by the Robert
Koch Institute (RKI) in Berlin (institute
for infectious diseases and
non-communicable illnesses).
The effective areas are defined as
follows:
A = Suitable for the destruction of
vegetative bacteria, including
myco-bacteria, fungi and fungal
spores.
B = Suitable for inactivating viruses
(including HBV and HIV).
The cleaning programme must be
chosen according to the type of soiling
and product requiring processing in
order to ensure that disinfection is
carried out correctly, no residues are
left behind and that subsequent
sterilisation can take place. Medical
devices are best processed using the
DESIN vario TD programme, or one of
the OXIVARIO programmes where
applicable.
This washer-disinfector is programmed
to carry out the final rinse with mains
water or AD water (aqua destillata =
purified or de-ionised water (VE), H
O
2
pure, demineralised water, aqua
purificata or distilled water where the
application requires this standard).
The water quality is of particular
importance for applications requiring
analytically clean laboratory glassware.
The type of chemical agents used will
depend on the analysis or analytical
methods being used.
This disinfector is equipped with a
steam condenser (DHK), drying unit
(TA) and water softener as standard.
Optional:
- DOS 4 for retro-fitting

carefully. Wear protective gloves and
goggles. With all chemical agents, the
manufacturer's safety instructions must
be observed.
The water in the machine must not
be used as drinking water.
Do not sit or lean on an open door.
The machine could tip up and be
damaged or cause an injury.
Be careful when sorting items with
sharp pointed ends and
positioning them in the machine that
you do not hurt yourself or create a
danger for others. Sharp knives etc.
should be placed in baskets with the
pointed ends facing downwards.
When using this machine in the
higher temperature ranges, be
especially careful not to scald or burn
yourself or come into contact with
irritant substances when opening the
door! Where disinfecting agents are
used there is a danger of inhaling toxic
fumes. Baskets, inserts and utensils
must be allowed to cool down before
they are unloaded. Any water remaining
in containers could still be very hot.
Empty them into the wash cabinet
before taking them out.
After using the hot air drying unit
open the door to allow the
everything in the cabinet from the load
itself to the mobile units, modules and
inserts to cool down.
Do not touch the heating elements
if you open the door during or
directly after the end of a programme;
you could burn yourself. They remain
hot for some time after the end of the
programme.
Never clean the machine or near
vicinity with a water hose or a high
pressure hose.
The machine must be
disconnected from the mains
electricity supply before any
maintenance or repair work is carried
out. Do not reconnect it until the

observed to assist in maintaining
quality standards for processing
medical instruments and senstitive
laboratory glassware, and to avoid
injury to patients or damage to
equipment.
If the machine is being used for
disinfection in accordance with
official regulations on the control of
epidemics, the steam condenser and
its connections to and from the wash
cabinet must be cleaned and
disinfected whenever any repairs are
carried out or parts replaced.
10
Warning and safety instructions
For decontamination in
accordance with official
regulations, the programme must not
be interrupted by pressing the I-0
button to switch off after START has
been pressed . Interrupting any other
programmes should also be avoided as
this will reduce cleaning, disinfection
and the final rinse results. If it is opened
the programme should be completely
repeated.
The standard of cleaning and
disinfection in the disinfection
programmes must be routinely
confirmed by the user. The process
should be regularly monitored using
thermo-electrical indicators and the
results should be fully documented.
For thermal disinfection, use
temperatures and temperature
holding times to achieve the required
infection prophylaxis in accordance
with current health and safety
regulations.
Disinfection programmes which
use a chemical disinfecting agent
at moderate temperatures such as
65 °C or lower are not recognised by
§18 IfSG for disinfection. They should
only be used for items which cannot
withstand the higher temperatures used
by thermal disinfection. The range of
effective disinfection is based on claims
made by the producer of the
disinfecting agent. Their instructions on
handling, use and effectiveness must
be observed. The use of
chemo-thermal disinfection procedures
is the responsibility of the operator.
If there are toxic or chemical
substances in the suds solution
(e.g. aldehyde in the disinfecting agent)
you must be particularly vigilant of the
risks these carry should you need to
interrupt a programme and open the
door. The door seals and correct
functioning of the steam condenser
should be regularly monitored.
Theatre (OP) shoes should only be
cleaned and disinfected in a
machine installed specifically for this
purpose.
H2O2solution must only be used in
the special containers and
adapters provided by the Ecolab and
Dr. Weigert companies.
Important: observe the
manufacturer's safety instructions
as given on their safety data sheet.
Be especially careful when
handling H
solution. It is an
2O2
irritant chemical.
Observe all current safety instructions
pertaining to its use.
Wear protective gloves and goggles.
Empty containers must be
disposed of in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions.
H2O2solutions must not be mixed
with other chemicals. This could
cause a serious chemical reaction, e. g.
the release of harmful vapours or
gases.
11
Warning and safety instructions
Pre-treatments with cleaning or
disinfecting agents can create
foam, as can certain types of soiling
and chemical agents. Foam can have
an adverse effect on the disinfection
and cleaning process.
Where a chemical additive is
recommended on technical
application grounds (e.g. a cleaning
agent), this does not imply that the
manufacturer of the machine accepts
liability for the effect of the chemical on
the items being cleaned.
Please be aware that changes in
formulation, storage conditions etc.
which may not be publicised by the
chemical manufacturer, can have a
negative effect on the cleaning result.
When using cleaning agents and
specialised products it is essential
that the manufacturer's instructions are
followed. Chemicals must only be used
for the purpose they are designed for
and in the situation specified, to the
exclusion of other chemicals, to avoid
such dangers as chemical reactions
and material damage.
The machine is designed for
operation with water and
recommended additive chemical
agents only. Organic solvents must not
be used in this machine, as there is the
danger under certain circumstances of
fire or explosion. Although this is not the
case with all organic solvents, other
problems could arise with their use, for
example damage to rubber and
synthetic materials.
In critical applications where very
stringent requirements have to be
met, it is strongly recommended that all
the relevant factors for the process,
such as chemical agents, water quality
etc. are discussed with the Miele
Application Technology specialists.
If cleaning and rinsing results are
subject to particularly stringent
requirements (e.g. chemical analysis,
specialised industrial processes etc.), a
regular quality control test must be
carried out by the user to ensure that
the required standards of cleanliness
are being achieved.
Mobile units, modules and inserts
should only be used for the
purpose they are designed for.
Hollow instruments must be thoroughly
cleaned, internally and externally.
Empty any containers or utensils
before arranging them in the
machine.
Do not allow any remains of acids
or solvents, and in particular
hydrochloric acid or chloride solutions,
to get into the wash cabinet. Similarly
avoid any materials with a corrosive
effect. The presence in compounds of
any solvents should be minimal
(especially those in hazard class A1).
Ensure that solutions or steam
containing hydrochloric acid do not
come into contact with the steel outer
casing of the machine, to avoid any
corrosion damage.
Please follow the advice on
installation in these instructions
and the separate Installation
Instructions.

programme.
To open the door with the
emergency release
The emergency release should only
be used when the door cannot be
opened normally, e.g. in the event of
a power failure.
Important note for DESIN
programmes - read the notes in the
Warning and Safety instructions!
Switch the machine off with the I-0
^
button.
To close the door
^
Lift the door upwards and push until
it clicks shut.
14
^
The emergency release cable is
located at the bottom of the machine
behind the service panel. Pull it
downwards to open the door.
Water softener
The water needs to be softened to
avoid calcium deposits building up on
instruments and utensils and in the
machine itself.
To ensure a steady supply of soft water,
the water softener unit must always be:
1. correctly programmed and
2. the salt reservoir must be filled.
If the water hardness level is below
4 °d - German scale (0.7 mmol/l), the
reservoir does not need to be filled
with reactivation salt.
The machine is set at the factory for a
water hardness level of 19 °d
(3.4 mmol/l).
If the water supply is harder or softer
than this (including below 0.7 mmol/l
or 4 °d) the factory setting will need
to be changed following the
instructions in "Setting the water
softener" in the Programming
Manual.
Your local water authority will be able to
advise you on the water hardness in
your area.
For future servicing it is useful to make
a note of your water hardness level.
Enter your water hardness level here:
^
°d (German scale)
or mmol/l
Setting the water softener
See "Operating information Reactivating the water softener" in the
Programming Manual supplied with the
machine.
Salt indicator
Reactivation salt will need to be
replenished when the NO SALT
indicator lights up in the display.
Reactivation takes place automatically
during a programme.
The programme sequence indication
light REACTIVATION lights up whilst this
is happening.
For fluctuating levels e.g. 8 - 17 °d
(1.4 - 3.1 mmol/l) set the water softener
to the highest setting. In this example to
17 °d (3.1 mmol/l).
The built-in water softener has
settings from 1 °d - 60 °d (0.2 -
10.8 mmol/l).
15
Water softener
Filling the salt reservoir
Please only use special coarse grained
reactivation salt with granules of
approx. 1-4 mm. Do not use other types
of salt, e.g. table salt, agricultural or
gritting salt. These could contain
components which are insoluble in wa
ter which could result in damage to the
water softener. If in doubt consult the
Miele Professional Department.
The salt reservoir holds approx. 2.5 kg
of salt.
Inadvertently filling the salt
,
reservoir with cleaning agent will
damage the water softener.
Before filling the salt reservoir make
sure that you have picked up the
right packet of reactivation salt.
^ Remove the bottom basket from the
machine.
-
Place the funnel provided in place.
^
^ Fill carefully with salt.
As it is poured in, displaced water will
run out.
^ Wipe any residual salt off the screw
threads on the socket.
^ Screw the cap on firmly.
^ Unscrew the salt reservoir cap.
Important:
Before filling the salt reservoir with
dishwasher salt for the first time, you
must fill it with approx. 2.5 litres of
water to enable the salt to dissolve.
Once the dishwasher has been
used, there is always sufficient water
in the reservoir.
16
^ Select service programme REMOVE
SALT to flush out any traces of salt
from the cabinet.
If, after switching on the REMOVE
SALT programme, the start is
delayed for a few minutes this is not
a fault. The water softener is being
reactivated.
Automatic mobile unit recognition (AWK)
In operating level C the (optional) AWK
allocates a fixed programme place to a
mobile unit with valid coding.
Programme places 1-15 are reserved
for the AWK automatic mobile unit
recognition.
The unit coding (on the mobile unit)
and the programme place with the
corresponding programme (in the
electronic control unit) have to match
each other.
To do this:
each mobile unit must be coded
^
before being used for the first time
(see "Coding the mobile unit"), and
^ the wash programme through which
the mobile unit is coded has to be
assigned to the relevant programme
place (operating level D, see the
"System function - Selector Switch
Organisation" section in the
Programming Manual).
Mobile unit coding
The automatic mobile unit recognition
feature assigns a programme place to a
mobile unit. The mobile units must be
coded with a magnetic strip (via a Bit
combination).
In operating level C, the only
programme available for a coded
mobile unit is the one assigned to the
corresponding programme place.
After a coded mobile unit has been put
into the machine and the door closed,
the automatic mobile unit recognition
system will select the allocated
programme (as long as there are no
residues or particles on the magnetic
strip). Press 6 to start the programme.
Coding is effected through 5 Bits:
– Bits 1 to 4 define the mobile unit
code,
– Bit 5 serves as a control (Parity Bit).
Important
It is absolutely essential to check
that the programme required for the
mobile unit in use is the one shown
in the display before pressing the
Start button 6.
Otherwise inadequate cleaning or
disinfecting could be the result.
Please make sure that the places
assigned automatic mobile unit
recognition - AWK - are not changed
around arbitrarily.
17
Automatic mobile unit recognition (AWK)
Mobile unit coding strip
15 different codes can be set. They are
assigned to programme places 1 to 15.
Under "System function, Selector switch
organisation" the matching
programmes have to be put into the
first 15 programme places.

Areas of application
This washer-disinfector can be fitted
with a variety of mobile units,
depending on the type of items being
cleaned and disinfected. Various
baskets and inserts are also available
for a wide variety of instruments and
utensils.
The diversity of inserts and baskets
means that it is not possible to illustrate
them all or give detailed instructions on
their use here.
Before starting a programme you
should carry out a visual check on
the following:
– Is everything correctly
loaded/connected for cleaning?
– Are the spray arms clean and do
they rotate freely?
– Are the filters clean? Remove any
coarse soiling and clean them
properly if necessary.
– Is the adapter connecting the water
supply to the spray arms/jets
correctly connected?
Loading the machine
Removing excess soiling
Empty all containers before loading
^
into the machine (paying particular
attention to regulations regarding
epidemics).
Ensure that no acid or solvent
,
residues, especially hydrochloric
acid or chlorides, get into the wash
cabinet.
Preparing instruments for cleaning
^ This should preferably take place in a
dry state.
–
Are all chemical containers
sufficiently filled?
20
Please note
Arrange the load so that water can
^
access all surfaces. This is to ensure
that it will be properly cleaned.
Do not place items to be cleaned
^
inside other pieces where they may
be concealed.
Hollow instruments must be
^
thoroughly cleaned, internally and
externally.
Hollow vessels should be inverted
^
and placed in the correct mobile
units, baskets and inserts to ensure
that water can flow in and out of them
unrestricted.
A cover net can be used to reduce
the risk of glass breakage during the
wash process.
^ Please check that instruments with
long narrow hollow sections can be
flushed through properly before
placing them in inserts or connecting
them to jets.
^
Lightweight items should be secured
with a cover net (e.g. an A 2) and
small items placed in a mesh tray to
prevent them blocking the spray
arms or being caught up with the
magnetic strip on the automatic
mobile unit recognition system.
Areas of application
Tall, narrow pieces should be placed
^
in the centre of the baskets. This
ensures good water coverage.
Mobile units and baskets with an
^
adapter must engage correctly.
The spray arms must not be blocked
^
by items which are too tall or which
hang down in their path. If necessary,
manually rotate the arms to test.
It is advisable to use only instruments
^
made of special application steel
which are not susceptible to
corrosion.
^ Instruments which cannot withstand
high temperatures should be
chemically disinfected.

Areas of application
Surgical instruments (OP)
Surgical instruments should be stored
for as short a time as possible before
machine processing.
The OXIVARIO programme is
recommended for instruments where
there is a long delay between the time
they are used and the time they can be
reprocessed.
Disinfection of surgical instruments and
of those used for minimally invasive
surgery should preferably take place
thermally.
De-mineralised water should be used
for the final rinse when possible to
ensure no marks are left on the load
and to avoid corrosion. If the water
used contains more than 100 mg
chloride/litre there is danger of
corrosion.
E 327 Mobile unit/empty
For mesh trays on 2 levels
Open up hinged instruments and place
them in mesh trays so that they are not
touching each other.
When cleaning narrow lumen
instruments e.g. those used for
minimally invasive surgery, an
intensive internal cleaning result is
imperative. The Vario-TD and
OXIVARIO programmes are the only
ones which offer a thorough enough
level of cleaning for this. It is essential
that instruments are loaded as directed
and that the cleaning agent used is
suitable for the programme and for the
sensitive instruments being processed.
The final rinse must be carried out
using fully demineralised water with a
conductivity level of ~15 ZS/cm
(microsiemens per centimeter).

for MIS instruments
(see separate Operating Instructions).
Anaesthetic equipment (AN)
Anaesthetic instruments should be
thermally disinfected using the DESVAR-TD-AN programme.
If this is not possible they can be
processed using a chemo-thermal
programme. The water level in the
machine should be increased when
using a chemical disinfection
programme.
The standard of disinfection in
chemo-thermal disinfection
programmes depends on the
disinfection agent used.
Areas of application

Areas of application
Baby bottles (BC)
Baby bottles can be cleaned and
disinfected in one batch using 4 x
E 135 containers in top basket 0 190/1
and bottom basket U 874. Wide-necked
teats can be cleaned and disinfected in
an E 364, or screw cap teats in an
E 458 (top basket only).
Ensure the level marker on the bottles
^
is machine-washable.
After use, if there is a delay (e.g.
^
4 hours or more) before washing the
bottles, fill them with water to prevent
residues drying on before the bottles
are processed.
Loading
^ Empty the bottles before placing
them into the container.
^ Put the container lid in place over the
bottles and secure.
E 135 Insert 1/2
Container for 19 x 250 ml baby bottles
^ Place containers in the top and/or
bottom basket with the bottle necks
facing downwards, and unused
container corners to the outside.
Containers must be placed as close
to the middle of the unit as possible.
If the process is not to be followed
by sterilisation, the load should be
dried completely to avoid the
development of water-borne
bacteria.
A sufficient drying time is, therefore,
absolutely essential.
26
Operating theatre shoes (OS)
Polyurethane operating theatre shoes,
and/or insoles should be cleaned and
chemo-thermally disinfected at 60 °C.
These can only be thermally disinfected
(using programme SHOE-TD-75/2) if
the manufacturer states that they are
made of a suitably heat-resistant
material.
To establish the effectiveness of
chemical disinfecting agents for
chemo-thermal disinfection, consult the
manufacturer.
Theatre shoes should be cleaned
and disinfected in a machine
installed specifically for this
purpose only.
Baskets O 167, O 173 and U 168/1 are
all suitable for this purpose.
Areas of application
Alternatively insert E 484 can be used
in a suitable bottom basket, e. g. U 874
together with holder E 487 for shoes or
E 489 for insoles.
A large amount of fluff can build up
in the machine when cleaning
theatre shoes. The filters in the wash
cabinet should therefore be checked
regularly, and cleaned when
necessary. See "Cleaning and care".

specialist for professional advice.
The on-site drain connection point
should be positioned between 0.3 m
and 1 m above the lower edge of the
machine.
If it is lower than 0.3 m, lay the hose
in a curve at a height of at least
0.3 m.
The drainage system must be able to
take a minimum drainage flow of
16 l/min.
Plumbing
– The inlet hose is approx. 1.5 m long,
is flexible and has an internal
diameter of 22 mm. It must not be
shortened.

Problem solving
With the aid of the following explanatory
notes, minor faults can be corrected
without contacting the Miele Service
Dept.
Any work on the electrical components
of the machine should only be carried
out by a suitably qualified and
competent person in accordance with
local and national safety regulations.
Unauthorised repairs could be
dangerous.
Messages regarding the operating
status of the machine and fault
messages are shown in the display.
These are listed in charts in the
Programming Manual supplied
with the machine under
"Messages".
Thermal cut-out
This machine has a resettable heater
limiter which will shut off the heating
elements in the event of over-heating.
This could be caused, for example, by
large articles covering the heating
elements or if the filters in the wash
cabinet are blocked.
If the message "Check wash cabinet
heating" appears (water has not heated
up in the wash cabinet and the
programme is taking too long), proceed
as follows:
Remove the cause of the fault.
^
^ Take off the service panel (see
"Electrical connection").
^ Press the reset button on the heater
limiter (reddish brown) located on the

Technical safety
The Medical devices directive
93/42/EWG, which requires that safety
and operational checks are carried out
for all medical devices, has been
adopted into national law by all
European Union countries. Some
countries have added additional
regulations (e.g. MPBetreibV), which
require the operators themselves to
carry out these checks.
When EN ISO 15883 comes into force
internationally, users will be held
accountable for these checks.
In the U.K. safety checks to the
machine must be carried out every
3 months by a Miele approved service
technician in accordance with prEN
ISO 15883 and HTM 2030.
