Built around the clinical workflow
- No disassembly required: connect the anesthesia or ventilator circuit directly to the disinfection unit
- Shortest disinfection cycle from 20 minutes
- ≥3.0 log kill of Bacillus subtilis var. niger spores
- Composite alcohol disinfectant (isopropanol or chlorhexidine gluconate + ethanol)
- Non-corrosive to compatible circuits; no manual disinfectant handling
- Automatic, precision dosing; one reservoir supports up to 20 cycles
- 7-inch colour touchscreen with ventilator, anesthesia and user modes
- Built-in thermal printer and 50-cycle record storage
- H13-filtered drying air, activated-carbon adsorption and automatic residue decomposition
- Optional H2O2 ultrasonic fogging or plasma module for room air and surface disinfection
The BEST anesthesia and ventilator circuit disinfection system is designed for a routine clinical problem: anesthesia and ventilator breathing circuits are difficult to disinfect thoroughly without disassembling the machine. The unit connects to the circuit, distributes a composite alcohol disinfectant as a fine aerosol through the internal pathways, then dries and filters the circuit before the next case.
How the disinfection cycle works
The anesthesia or ventilator circuit is connected to the disinfection unit with a dedicated hose. The system prepares the circuit, atomises the composite alcohol disinfectant, maintains contact throughout the internal pathways, then dries the circuit with H13-filtered air. An activated-carbon adsorption stage decomposes residual disinfectant before the circuit is returned to service.
- Preparation → atomisation → disinfection → drying → residue decomposition
- No need to remove or disassemble the anesthesia machine or ventilator
- Automatic dosing removes manual measuring, pouring and operator contact with the disinfectant
- H13-filtered drying air helps prevent recontamination during the drying stage
- Built-in sensors monitor cycle status and disinfection completion
Standard and advanced configurations
| Configuration | Internal circuit | Room air / surfaces |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | Composite alcohol disinfection | — |
| Advanced option 1 | Composite alcohol disinfection | H2O2 ultrasonic fogging |
| Advanced option 2 | Composite alcohol disinfection | Plasma air disinfection |
Designed for daily clinical use
- Three modes: ventilator, anesthesia machine and user-defined
- One-key start with automatic memory of the last working mode
- 7-inch colour touchscreen shows cycle status and remaining disinfectant cycles
- Low-disinfectant alarm and reserve bottle system reduce workflow interruption
- Built-in thermal printer provides a record for infection-control documentation
- Hidden atomisation cup and fixed hose clips keep the working area organised
- Heavy-duty castors and metal handle make the 35 kg unit easy to move between rooms
Validation and documentation
The system is validated for a ≥3.0 log reduction of Bacillus subtilis var. niger spores. Cycle records can be printed for operating-room and infection-control audits. For room-level terminal disinfection, the optional H2O2 or plasma module extends the same platform to air and surface treatment.
Typical applications
Anesthesia departments, operating rooms, intensive care units, emergency departments, respiratory therapy departments and any clinical area using reusable anesthesia or ventilator breathing circuits.
Specifications are based on the BEST medical device circuit disinfection brochure (2023) and product presentation. Disinfectant compatibility, cycle validation and local infection-control requirements should be confirmed with FulCare before ordering.
