The present invention provides a method of operating a reprocessor that has a chamber for receiving items to be sterilized. The reprocessor is filled with water that has passed through a first and a second filter element that both comprise a filtration system. A liquid sterilant is generated by mixing the water with dry chemical reagents. The liquid sterilant is circulated through a fluid circulation system and the filtration system wherein a portion of the liquid sterilant is directed through a bypass conduit and another portion is directed through the first and second filter elements. After a predetermined exposure time, the reprocessor is drained. Then the reprocessor is filled with water for rinsing that has passed through the first and the second filter elements. The water for rinsing is heated prior to being introduced into the reprocessor.

La présente invention concerne un procédé d'actionnement d'un retraiteur qui présente une chambre destinée à recevoir des articles à stériliser. Le retraiteur est rempli d'eau passée à travers un premier et un second élément filtrant qui comprennent tous deux un système de filtration. Un stérilisant liquide est généré en mélangeant l'eau avec des réactifs chimiques secs. Le stérilisant liquide circule à travers un système de circulation de fluide et à travers le système de filtration, une partie du stérilisant liquide étant dirigée à travers un conduit de dérivation et une autre partie étant dirigée à travers les premier et second éléments filtrants. Après un temps d'exposition prédéterminée, le retraiteur est drainé. Le retraiteur est ensuite rempli d'eau en vue du rinçage, cette eau ayant passé au préalable à travers les premier et second éléments filtrants. L'eau de rinçage est chauffée avant d'être introduite dans le retraiteur.
