Getinge WD15 CLARO

Dental practices are the clearest fit. Handpieces sit on the injection bar so water reaches their internal channels, while examination kits ride in the tray rack and loose items sit in the lidded mesh basket. Power clean-D handles heavily soiled sets, and the drying phase leaves the load ready for packing and sterilisation, all from a machine fitted under the decontamination room worktop.

GP surgeries, outpatient clinics, and day-surgery units reprocess rigid and tubular instruments on DIN or SPRI II trays, up to two per cart level. Minimally invasive instruments go on the MIS injection bar, and anaesthesia tubing on the AN bar with its hose support, run through Instrument-AN-D. Wards and maternity units use the same chamber for wash bowls, hollow ware and baby bottles.

Small reprocessing rooms gain a recorded process without a large footprint. The access code protects validated programmes, and the display shows phase, chamber temperature and remaining time. A pump pressure sensor stops the process and shows an error code if pressure is wrong. NetCOM or a printer keeps the record, with T-DOC available where Getinge's tracking system is in use. The single-phase 230 V version suits buildings without a three-phase supply.

The WD15 Claro belongs where load sizes match its two cart levels and 150-litre chamber. Departments running continuous trolley loads, or working across a dirty-clean barrier wall, need larger pass-through equipment, and each cart stays within 8.5 kg including its own weight. Where water is hard, Getinge recommends the optional softener for water above 6 °dH, and the Deliming programme removes lime from the chamber.

Department processing in a dishwasher footprint

The 598 mm body houses three spray arms over 150 litres of effective chamber volume.

A0 3000 thermal disinfection

Five minutes at 90 °C reach an A0 of 3000, with an A0 600 setting for shorter holds.

Drying through a HEPA H13 filter

Loads leave the chamber dry for packing, with no separate drying cabinet.

A view into every cycle

The lit glass door shows the spray arms turning and the load in place.

No ventilation ducting

Condenser cooling keeps vapour inside the machine.

Programmes protected by code

Validated programmes and routines, such as Deliming, are protected by an access code.

Traceable records

A printer or NetCOM captures each cycle, with T-DOC connection available.

Fifteen electrical versions

Supplies run from 200 V three-phase to 415 V, including a 230 V single-phase build.

AISI 316L chamber

It measures 538 × 534 × 520 mm, with a gross capacity of 180 litres and an effective capacity of 150 litres.

Three rotating spray arms

A pump of up to 380 L/min drives them.

Thermal disinfection options

Holding at 90 °C for 1 minute gives A0 600, and holding it for 5 minutes gives A0 3000.

Disinfection control modes

Control follows time and temperature, time and temperature with a calculated A0, or A0 alone.

Drying phase

A 2.8 kW dryer heater works with a HEPA H13 filter.

PACS 350 controller

It stores up to 20 programmes and raises audible and visual alarms.

Graphic display

A 240 × 64 pixel screen shows white graphics on a blue background above the piezo buttons.

Dosing pumps

Two pumps are standard, each up to 7.5 L/h, and a third is optional.

External dosing box

It enables the enzyme and lubrication programmes.

Glass door with chamber light

The window lets staff check loading and spray arm movement.

Basic carts

Upper and lower carts each take two DIN 1/1 or SPRI II trays.

Injection bars

Dental, MIS and AN bars serve handpieces, minimally invasive instruments and anaesthesia tubing.

Data interface

It connects a printer or NetCOM for USB export and T-DOC.

Condenser cooling

Vapour stays inside, so the room needs no ventilation connection.

Drain cooling option

It brings drain water down from up to 90 °C to 60 °C.

Optional water softener

Getinge recommends one where hardness exceeds 6 °dH.

The Getinge WD15 Claro suits dental practices, clinics and small reprocessing rooms that want department-grade washing and disinfection under a worktop. Its case is fit: three spray arms, A0 3000 disinfection, and HEPA drying in a 598 mm-wide body, with a lit glass door that shows the cycle. Two limits matter most. Each cart level takes two DIN or SPRI II trays, and up to 8.5 kg, so continuous high-volume loads need larger equipment. The site handles d installation, operational, al and performance qualification. Getinge lists the Medical Devices Directive for it. No UKCA position is evidenced. Day-to-day supplies are detergent and rinse agent for the dosing pumps, softener salt where hard water calls for it and the HEPA filter.
