AMSCO^® Rack Return

The AMSCO^® Rack Return helps transfer manifold racks and washer accessories. The interlocking, two door design allows only a single door to be open at one time – helping maintain positive airflow and preventing cross contamination between the two sides of the Sterile Processing Department (SPD).

How the AMSCO Rack Return Works

When a transfer cart on the clean side interfaces with the washer rack return, the chamber door is automatically opened, and the empty rack is moved into the chamber. The rack is then moved from the rack return to the transfer cart on the soiled side for hands-free operation. The AMSCO Rack Return is compatible with accessories processed in STERIS Single-Chamber Washer/Disinfectors.

Why Choose the AMSCO Rack Return?

• Obstruction sensor automatically opens the door when an obstruction is present
• Accommodates both standard and long chamber racks and is compatible with universal and hinge style transfer carts
• Chamber status lights* indicate when the rack return is ready for use, unloading or if an alarm occurs
• Communication system* promotes teamwork allowing staff to talk between sides while not compromising airflow
