Danish term

gennemstikskoger

Danish to English Medical Medical: Instruments Umbilical cord removal
This pertains to instruments used for removing the umbilical cord of a newborn. The instruments are washed manually, and then they are washed in a "gennemstikskoger". Any idea what that is?

Thanks,

Nikolaj

It appears from my google search that the "gennemstik" is what is being boiled. There is such a thing as a "Bækkenkoger" and I have a feeling that it get used to "koge gennemstik" as well. Picture here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/hvidzone/7282509034/in/photostr...

Another option might be sterilization cabinet. Of course, the problem is that there is really nothing available online that describes what a "gennemstikskoger" actually is.
Norskpro Apr 5, 2013:
Yes, I was uncertain about what "koger" would translate as, which is why I wrote the words in brackets. It is probably the first wash as you suggest.
kargaard Apr 5, 2013:
I agree pass-through or someting, but I was searching online and it isn't necessarily sterilized when it comes out, as they take instrumentation from the gennemstikskoger to other washing machines, and then bag and autoclave at the end. So it may just be a sort of feed-through/pass through automatic washing machine to remove the blood etc?
Norskpro Apr 5, 2013:
gennemstik could be pass-through, so I think this is a sterilizer cupboard (or other more correct term ?) where the instruments can be put in on one side, while contaminated, and taken out on the other side, sterilized. This is my guess.

Peer comment(s):
agree kargaard : yes, or feed-through washer/boiler (Koge is boil directly translated. But according to http://www.kora.dk/media/177962/notat3776_clampcut_vs_tradit... they follow this up with other things, so not sure it is disinfector, maybe washer?

tunnel washer

Could it be something like that?
Googling various combinations with 'tunnel' will show more examples.
