Miele Professional at IDS trade show

Miele Professional is due to launch a product offensive aimed at dental surgeries at the IDS 2015 trade show in Cologne, including thermal disinfectors offering the ultimate in capacity, safety and convenience. And, in a bid to promote the fast, safe and economic sterilisation of instruments, Miele Professional is also to present its new EXCELLENCE table-top steriliser (Hall 10.2, Stand O 050/ P 051).

The 60 cm wide thermal disinfectors feature a new patented circulation pump which adjusts spray pressure to the specific requirements of individual programme phases. This saves both water and energy. At the same time, these machines offer greater reprocessing capacity. The upper basket can for instance be fitted with 22 injector nozzles for lumened dental instruments such as saliva extractors, turbines or hand-pieces and contra-angles. A new reusable central filter saves costs and offers almost 300% more filter surface than the filter inserts used on the previous models. This means that instruments are afforded the best possible protection against the ingress of foreign particles. New, too, are the two innovative systems EcoDry and DryPlus which enhance the drying of instruments and provide an automatic door closing feature which offers top-class user convenience.

The new Miele PS 1201B EXCELLENCE steriliser is due for introduction in April 2015 and will feature a PerfectTouch display. This model is extremely simple to operate and the smooth glass fascia lends itself to cleaning and wipe disinfection. The cycle times on the new steriliser are extremely short, with a 134°C B-class cycle for a 6 kg load lasting only 21 minutes. The short programme for unwrapped instruments or hand-pieces and contra-angles requires only 13 mins.

Miele Professional offers its clients process documentation software which is to carry the stamp of approval of the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI). Certification by an independent authority furnishes proof that the Segosoft Miele Edition 7 reliably protects data collated from reprocessing equipment in full accordance with internationally valid criteria. This is guaranteed by, amongst others, the use of a digital signature.

With the appropriate process chemicals marketed under the name ProCare Dent and a rapid service response, Miele Professional offers dental surgeries a comprehensive and individual product and service package. 'Around 180 medical product engineers in Germany alone ensure the satisfaction of customers in the medical and dental sectors', explains Andreas Barduna, Managing Director of Miele's Professional division. 'This full-range portfolio consisting of services ensuring peace of mind together with reliable products is the key to our international success.'
