NetBox protocols:
Safe and convenient
The NetBox is a complete documentation
system including pre-configured software.
The system is connected via an interface
to the washer-disinfector. The NetBox
collects all relevant process data during
washing and disinfection programmes. In
standard mode, the unit harvests data fully
automatically without any involvement on
the part of the user. This means maximum
operating safety as the NetBox provides
considerable protection against operating
errors. Once collated, process data re-
mains in memory; the NetBox has the ca-
pacity to save up to 1000 batch protocols.
Later, data can be saved to a network or a
storage device.
In network mode, the unit can be moni-
tored and operated via a PC interface. A
flat-screen monitor is also available as an
optional extra to plot time/temperature
curves. This also helps visualise the data
contained in the wash protocol. A further
optional extra is a barcode scanner or
RFID transponder to facilitate the fast and
simple identification of loads. The user can
also approve or lock batches, depending
on process cycles.
As soon as data is received from a washer-
disinfector a batch number is automatically
allocated and a report generated.
Depending on the machines, protocols can
contain the following parameters:
• Batch no., date and Mach. no.
• Programme name
• Programme starting and ending time and
times of individual programme blocks
• Dispenser pump (ID no.), chemical
concentration, temperature and times
• Target temperature reached
• Disinfection temperature and holding
time
• Faults (e.g. water inlet)
• Manual intervention and outages
(e.g. programme aborted, power failure)
On washer-disinfectors with Profitronic
controls, the intervals at which the
time/temperature profile is plotted
(e.g. every 10 secs.) can be defined by the
user.
Protocol administration
At the end of a programme, a batch proto-
col is added to the protocol database. All
protocols can be called up at any time to
check protocol parameters such as Batch
no., Mach. no., user, etc. Data records are
write-protected and cannot be modified.
All persons authorised to access the
process documentation programme are
recorded in master records as authorised
users. Access can also be password-pro-
tected. An access code determines the
access rights of a user on the system.
Evaluations
NetBox represents an integrated approach
to statistical programme evaluations.
Saved data can also be made available to
other programmes for further processing
and evaluation.
A key advantage of the NetBox in compari-
son to PC-based systems is the opera-
tional safety factor. NetBox process docu-
mentation also simplifies installation and
operation, requires a minimum of space, is
ventilator-free and low-cost.
The process documentation software is
optionally available as a software-only
solution for installation on a Windows PC.
