TECHNOLOGIES AND PROCESSES
Technology
CE is installed in a 300 square meter area, with a 4,000 kg/day processing capacity.
Its one-way flow system makes sure non-sterilized items do not cross the sterilized ones.
The water used in the last rinse of the disinfecting washing machine and on steam generation goes under reverse osmosis filtering.
Every procedure carried out at CE, from reception to shipment, is recorded in a computer system. The process is recorded and the cycle report is stored in the computers, and may be printed at any time. Barcode information allows for the item to be tracked after use. Atmosfera CE's equipment safety settings and tests follow the ISPESL, TÜV, ASME, APAVE, and AIB-Vinçotte standards. Equipment items are integrated to a computer management network for the operation cycles, with preventive maintenance monitoring and self-diagnosis systems, alarm and safety systems.
