The Hydrim C51W instrument washer process manufactured by SciCan effectively promotes sterilisation by virtually eliminating debris on dental instruments. Hydrim instrument washers are class 1 medical devices especially designed for use in dental practices and far removed in style and function from domestic dishwashers.

A pre-wash cycle at 30° removes all proteins. During the wash cycle two internal spray nozzles, powered by independent pumps, force water at 65° at high pressure onto the instrument load simultaneously from above and below, removing virtually all other organic debris and preparing instruments for sterilisation. After sterilisation a Statim S-cycle cassette autoclave will sterilise handpieces and other instruments ready to be used on the next patient or stored.

No scrubbing, pre-soaking or rinsing is required, saving time and eliminating risk of injury. Instruments are taken directly from chairside, loaded into a basket or cassette and are thoroughly washed in about 18 minutes from start to finish. There is a choice of regular or heavy duty cycles and a rinse and hold cycle and the unit is easy to install requiring just standard electrical power, cold and hot water inlets and a single drain.
