The rising prevalence of hospital-acquired infections (HAIs), also known as nosocomial infections, is a significant concern worldwide. Factors contributing to the prevalence of HAIs include the increasing number of antibiotic-resistant organisms, inadequate hand hygiene practices, contaminated healthcare environments, and invasive medical procedures. For instance, according to the World Health Organization's (WHO) 2022 report, 15 patients in low and middle income countries and 7 patients from high income countries out of every 100 patients will acquire at least one health care-associated infection (HAI) during their hospital stay.

To minimize these numbers, hospitals and healthcare facilities are increasingly prioritizing patient safety and quality of care. Preventing HAIs through proper sterilization and disinfection practices is integral to achieving these goals. Washer-disinfectors help healthcare providers maintain high standards of cleanliness and sterility, thereby enhancing patient safety and satisfaction.

Medical washer-disinfectors are specialized devices used in healthcare settings to clean, disinfect, and sterilize various medical instruments, equipment, and utensils. They play a crucial role in preventing the transmission of infections within healthcare facilities by ensuring that reusable medical devices are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized between uses.
