Meeting legal requirements

Modernisation

During modernisation previously installed machines in contaminated hospital sluice rooms must comply with the same Medical Devices Act requirements as new machines, the specialist firm Meiko Maschinenbau GmbH & Co points out.

‘Specifically, a complete ‘master device file’ with workshop drawings, a risk and hazard analysis, as well as complete technical documentation, must be compiled. Hygiene performance must also comply with the latest medical knowledge. ‘Meiko’s unique TopLine rapid modernisation system meets all these requirements.’

The TopLine 40 E can be accommodated in all available recesses and alcoves supplied with or without a plinth, at the customer’s option extended to include a slop sink with rim flushing if required.

Meiko also adds:
- Operation of an already installed slop sink with rim-flushing is easily to combine with the TopLine 40 E bedpan washer.
- The work surfaces for these appliances can be supplied in any length and with a variety of hygiene radii.
- Meiko’s new cleaning and disinfection machine can be connected to a hospital’s existing central steam supply pipe.
