An evaluation of the Hamo LS-76 washing, drying and disinfecting machine for anaesthetic equipment.
This report evaluates a machine designed to wash, disinfect and dry anaesthetic equipment. Following adjustments to the program these objectives could be reliably achieved within a reasonable time. Multifunction machines should be considered for future use in Sterile Service Departments, although a careful assessment of the workload capacity should be made before purchase.
