Abstract

This Standard specifies requirements for drying cabinets intended for use in hospitals and other facilities for the drying of reusable medical devices (RMDs) and medical equipment. This Standard does not specify requirements for drying cabinets for thermolabile flexible endoscopes (refer to EN 16442, Controlled environment storage cabinet for processed thermolabile endoscopes). NOTE 1 Where the drying cabinet is to be used for the drying of thermolabile materials or for delicate RMDs and medical equipment liable to be damaged by excessive heat, it may be necessary to select electrical heating with an inherently faster response to an over-temperature controller, rather than a steam or hot-water-heated drying cabinet, which may not cool sufficiently quickly to avoid damaging such materials or equipment.  NOTE 2 Guidance on information to be supplied with enquiries and orders is given in Appendix A.
