Tornado

Proven the fight agains cross-infection
Tornado has been designed to offer options and features, such as the sensor activated door, drying fan with HEPA filter and process validation systems, that provide even greater support of effective routines to combat cross-infection.

A series of high pressure water cycles delivered through strategically located fixed and rotating nozzles, and followed by a steam phase produces a result that meets and exceeds the stringent cleaning & disinfection requirements of ISO15883 (CAN/CSA Z15883).

In addition to the sensor-activated door, Tornado now includes systems for process validation, improved disinfection level flexibility, more efficient Ao controlling mechanisms to reduce process times while maintaining efficacy.

More choice means greater flexibility
Tornado offers a choice of design materials that can match all sluice rooms needs.

Process control and efficiency have been enhanced with the latest features and options, without compromising on cost effectiveness and the environment.

Key Points

• Flexible Design
  The new standard casing is made of colourful polymeric material, offering an attractive, modern design. Every model is fitted with a stainless steel chamber, so Tornado can be made available as an all stainless steel model upon request.
   
• Drying/Cooling fan
  Receptacles are rapidly dried and cooled in the most hygienic way using HEPA-filtered (H13) air. Dry and cool receptacles are delivered at the end of the cycle, improving staff safety and and improving quality.
   
• Automatic door function
  To support hygienic non-contact routines, Tornado has an option for an automatic door activated by an IR sensor. To improve choice in automatic door operation, a foot pedal option can also be selected.
   
• Pipe System Disinfection (PSD)
  Rapid disinfection through all fixed and rotating nozzles also delivers a unique benefit, as the entire pipe and nozzle system is disinfected in every cycle, eliminating the risk of contamination.
   
• Environmentally-friendly operation
  Exceptionally low consumption of water, energy and chemicals reduces overall impact on the environmentand keeps operational cost to its minimum. Further more, low heat emissions and a low noise level contribute to a better working environment.
   
• Optional IP44 classification
  With increased infection control awareness in hospital wards and departments all over the world, many patient rooms require a flusher disinfector in the adjoining bathroom.

• Remaining time sequence display
  The display, showing the remaining time sequence in ten second intervals, allows staff to check on cycle progress, enabling them to plan their workflow more efficiently by eliminating time spent waiting for the process to end.
   
• Ao value and control
  The A0 value can be set to 60 or 600 for greater efficacy against more heat resistant microorganisms. The disinfection phase can also be controlled by either time and temperature, or by the chosen A0 value to further shorten the cycle time.
   
• Process record
  Many healthcare facilities are moving towards greater reportability with detailed records of disinfection operations. With PACS350 control system, Tornado provides the option to record and track process operations via a printer or USB device.

Tornado plays a central role in an efficient sluice room, but is only one element in effective infection control. ArjoHuntleigh can help you to create an optimised sluice room and establish an overall infection control strategy.

CREATING A COMPLETE SOLUTION

STEP 1: Choosing the right holder
The universal holder fits most commonly used receptacles.
There is also a wide range of holders available for other types of goods. These holders can handle a variety of bedpans, as well as most commode buckets and urine bottles.

STEP 2: Adding accessories
As well as the flusher disinfector, we also offer a number of valuable accessories, such as our unique, anatomically designed bedpan with lid. Our chemicals – an optimised rinse and deliming agent and a highly efficient detergent – are designed to meet the most stringent process demands.

STEP 3: Designing a complete sluice room
ArjoHuntleigh considers every aspect of the sluice room and provides a wide range of support from training in good hygiene routines to advice on room layout and equipment selection. We also offer a complete furniture concept for the sluice room, enabling you to create a hygienic and safe working environment.
