PROTECT PATIENTS FROM CROSS-CONTAMINATION
circuitGuard
TM
is indicated as an alternative to decontami-
nation of the anesthesia circuit and equipment. It protects
the anesthesia circuit from contami nation by the patient,
and the patient from contamination by the circuit and other
anesthetic equipment (circle absorber, dome valves, ventila-
tor, etc.). The CO
2
port on the machine side of the filter pro-
tects the lines going to the gas monitor ing device from con-
tamination by the patient as well. circuitGuard
TM
is a bi-
directional viral/bacterial filter designed without failure
points. Our product does not use glue or ultrasonic welding
to seal. The filter media is an integral part of the compres-
sion fit between the two halves of the device. As a result,
we have a unique unitized con struction that does not allow
gas to bypass the filter media.

Surgical ONE Headlight is a battery
powered, tether-free surgical headlight that
provides a consistently bright white light that is
evenly distributed throughout the surgical field.
• Optimized color rendering and enhanced tissue
differentiation are the results of a proprietary,
advanced solid-state illumination platform called
ONE Technology.
• Patent pending spectrum technology removes IR
and UV from the light broadcast, leaving a white,
non-reflective light.
• Designed for maximum comfort and fit, the ONE
Headlight is tether-free, allowing freedom of
movement around the OR.

WASHER-DISINFECTORS DESIGNED TO FIT INTO SMALL SPACES
Many surgery centers continue to clean surgical instruments by hand.
This process includes manual scrubbing, exposure to sharps and chemicals, and
many steps that are prone to human error. Miele compact washer-disinfectors
G7899 and G7889 provide an affordable method to automatically clean and
disinfect surgical instruments. Even instruments with long, narrow lumens such as
rigid endoscopes or laparoscopic instruments can be processed. The washer-
disinfector controls and monitors all critical parameters (time, temperature, pump
pressure, dispensing) and creates an error condition should anything go wrong.
A printer can be connected to verify and document that each cycle was
successfully completed. The Miele Vario TD program is proven to remove blood
and protein residues that have dried on surgical instruments for up to 6 hours.
The final step is intermediate level thermal disinfection, so that instruments coming
out of the washer are safe to handle for inspection and packaging for sterilization.
