Which type of fixture is designed to wash and sterilize instruments under pressure?

The Pressure Instrument Washer-Sterilizer is specifically engineered to wash and sterilize instruments using high-pressure water and heat. This type of fixture is essential in clinical and surgical environments where maintaining a sterile environment is crucial. It effectively removes contaminants using both detergent and heated water to ensure that instruments are not just cleaned but also sanitized to eliminate any potential pathogens.

In contrast, the other fixtures mentioned serve different purposes. A suction device is primarily used for removing fluids rather than for cleaning instruments. A regular sink is not designed to provide the high-pressure conditions or sterilization processes necessary for instrument cleaning and sterilization. Similarly, a hand wash station is intended for washing hands only, with facilities that often do not include the capabilities to wash or sterilize instruments under pressure. Therefore, the Pressure Instrument Washer-Sterilizer uniquely fulfills the requirement of washing and sterilizing instruments under pressure.
