Aqua Phase AQ-3000 Medical Equipment Washer / Automated Washing and Disinfecting for Facility Equipment

Aqua Phase AQ-3000 Medical Equipment Washer, Automated Washing and Disinfecting Built for Heavy Facility Workloads

The Aqua Phase AQ-3000, manufactured by Aqua Phase, a division of Mid-State Stainless Inc., is an automated medical equipment washer. Per the manufacturer, the AQ-3000 is the workhorse of the Aqua Phase line, designed and built to handle the heavy washing requirements of large long-term care facilities, large home medical and durable medical equipment dealers, and hospitals. This listing configuration includes 4 gallons of cleaning solution, disinfectant and rinse agent.

The Disinfectant Application System is standard on the AQ-3000, with Clean & Disinfect, Clean Only, and Disinfect Only wash modes, selectable 3, 5, or 7-minute wash times, and automatic injection of cleaning solution and rinse agent. A low-pressure, high-volume spray at approximately 24 PSI cleans without driving dirt or grease into bearings the way a high-pressure washer can. The Wheel Rotation System for wheelchair wheels and a front door safety glass window are standard, and wall-mounted studs allow the Utility Wash Trays System or a customized racking system to be added.

Per Aqua Phase, the system is used as a sanitizer for a wide range of medical equipment, wheelchairs, carts, containers, walkers, stands, IV poles, and similar items, and the AQ-3000 with its Disinfectant Application System forms part of a facility's infection control protocols. The washer washes items that fit through the front door and have sealed electrical components or are non-electrical. It is portable on heavy-duty casters, so the washer can be brought to the equipment, and once located it connects with two hoses, one for the hot water fill and one for the drain, and plugs into a 120 volt, 20 ampere dedicated circuit.
