The installation of a Wassenburg Dry 300 drying/storage cabinet offers substantial cost savings for the hospital due to reduced requirement for processing scopes in the Washer-Disinfectors. This applies to the first wash of the day prior to commencement of the list and subsequent wash processes during the day when a 3 hour post wash-disinfect period is exceeded.
