ARCANIA is a brand of bedpan washers dedicated to the hospital market and is
manufactured by SOFINOR S.A.S. A family owned company founded in 1961, SOFINOR S.A.S.
specializes in the manufacturing of stainless steel equipment.
By systematically integrating considerations of hygiene, ergonomics and safety into its
designs, ARCANIA is today an important player in the global market for bedpan washers.

This creative approach, which takes into account both hygiene and technical aspects is
possible thanks to the manufacturing expertise of our single production site located in the
north of France.
The bedpan washer CLINOX 3A AUTO meets the requirements of both European Directive
93/42/CEE (CE0197) and ISO 15883-3. Its disinfection cycle has been approved by the
PASTEUR INSTITUTE in Lille (France).
2
Versatility and volume of washing
To supplement washing and disinfecting equipment and in order to respond to the diversity
of users needs, tailored accessories have been developed to optimise washing capacity
and to accommodate a wide range of equipment (for example cleaning buckets, glasses,
urine bottles, toilet seat risers).
Top loading and sluice function
The rst renement of the CLINOX 3A AUTO is its top loading facility: its wide opening
makes the ARCANIA bedpan washer highly ergonomic. Moreover, the CLINOX 3A AUTO
is very hygienic in its operation the washer has a sluice function with a ushing system.
This replaces the traditional sluice, thereby freeing space inside the washer. This model
automatically turns bedpans to prevent splashing and is tted with 12 wash jets, 4 of which
have a rotate function.
Space-saving
The top-opening door ensures that the space occupied by the washer is reduced to a
minimum in comparison to front opening washers, which require more space for doors to
open into the room. The CLINOX 3A AUTO is ideal for conned spaces. It is possible to create
further space by tting a storage rack for bedpans and urinals above the washer.
and comprehensive
To respond to the evolving market and growing demand, ARCANIA has developed a new bedpan washer:
the CLINOX 3A AUTO - 100% Stainless steel - AISI304

You have the old ceramic sluice !!!
By replacing your old ceramic sluice with a Clinox 3A AUTO you will gain more space and a faster turnaround time.
With its top-loading function, the CLINOX 3A AUTO
makes it easier to empty buckets in comparison to a
traditional sluice.
Moreover, regular use of the bedpan washer results
in regular disinfection of the inner cavity. This forms
an effective means of combating hospital-acquired
infections on a daily basis.
6
Elimination of faeces and bodily uids
After closing the lid, cold water is pumped into the chamber
at a pressure of 4 bars through 12 jets to remove faeces. In
the case of heavy soiling, increased washing power can be
achieved by pressing the left pedal (intensive cycle).
Cleaning of equipment
After the cold water stage (prewash), hot water at a pressure
of 4 bars is pumped into the chamber. Detergent and/or a
descaler may be added at this stage, to ensure the effective
removal of stains.
Thermal disinfection
After the pre-wash and hot wash, equipment is subjected to
disinfection by steam which is maintained at a temperature of
85C to 90C, for 1 minute. This is followed by an automatic ush
of cold water which reduces the steam inside the chamber.
At the end of the cycle the lid will open automatically by 5cm.
After 5 further minutes, the equipment will be dry due to the
heat inside the unit. The lid opens automatically on applying
the pedal.

Rotation method of bedpans and equipment
The main difference between manual washing and a bedpan washer is this: when using a
bedpan washer there is no longer a need to note room numbers on bedpans.
When a bedpan has been used, it can be taken directly to the bedpan washer to be
cleaned and disinfected.
As soon as a cycle has been set, a new bedpan can be taken from a wall-mounted shelf,
and taken to the bedroom of the patient.
This rotation method minimises the time taken to replace a soiled bedpan with a clean and
disinfected one.
The storage area created by wall shelving is the therefore essential to ensuring an
immediate supply of clean bedpans.
Mode of use
In order to effectively ght hospital-acquired infections, it is important to minimise manual
contact with the unit.
To achieve this, the fully automatic ARCANIA bedpan washer has been designed to be
operated with foot pedals. The automatic model CLINOX 3A AUTO ALB04 minimises
handling of bedpans thanks to its automatic return facility.
Washers should ideally be located in the centre of a sluice room equipped with a hot and
cold water supply, an electrical supply and a 100 mm waste.
At the heart of efcient organisation
8
After consulting with their hygiene and operations teams, our hospital decided to invest in an ARCANIA bedpan washer. Two factors were key to this
decision: the fact that the washer minimises manual handling thereby helping to prevent hospital-acquired infections, and the dual sluice and ush
functions. The ease of usage of this washer is particularly appreciated by the staff who previously washed bedpans by hand, using chemicals. We also
supplemented this purchase with an ARCANIA stainless steel shelving system and ARCANIA stainless steel equipment.
Cecilia, 30, hygienist nurse in hospital
To optimise the efciency of the bedpan washer, the following points
should be observed:
Avoid emptying faeces and bodily uids into patients toilets. The bedpan washer is
designed to contain these, (like a conventional toilet), and disposes of these automatically.
Use lids on the bedpans while they are being transported, this will prevent splashing and
ensures the convenience of staff members.
Do not wait too long before starting a cycle. This will prevent the drying of residue on the
bedpan which can compromise the effectiveness of the cleaning process.
Use good quality bedpans. Over time, manual sponge cleaning results in small scratches
on the surface of bedpans. The smooth surface of a new bedpan will optimise the removal
of dirt.
The use of a descaler or a detergent will optimise the effectiveness of the bedpan washer. A
descaler will help to maintain the unit while a detergent will optimise the quality of cleaning.

Here we use bedpans less frequently than in hospital. Given that we are a small establishment, this was a signicant investment for us and we were looking for a multifunction bedpan washer.
We have chosen the 3A AUTO since it allows us to wash and disinfect toilet seats, bedpans and buckets directly in the tank, thanks to its multifunction accessories. Moreover, this useful piece of
equipment is 100% French!
