    Dear Brains trust,

    I am seeking your collective opinion about pan and bowl washer/disinfectors. I have always preferred separate units, based on my experience of visual soiling on bed pans that have completed a cycle. However I am now being asked to consider a combined unit.

    What is your preference and why?

    Kind regards,

    Afternoon Fiona,

    We have always had separate machines and in our new development I managed to get disposable (Pulp-able) Pans & Bottles so still separate.

    Not sure if that helps or hinders

    Regards

    Good afternoon Fiona,

    We have been using the combined unit for over 6 years. Have not had any real problems- require some education regarding cycles and when to replace the cleaning solution.

    Kindest Regards
