Guidelines for Reliable Disinfection Water Quality Potable water is the minimum standard, Medivators recommends the use of a high quality water pre filtration system that filters incoming water to a minimum of 0.1 micron. A typical water pre-filtration system, such as the one offered by Medivators, filters incoming water through a 1 micron, 0.4 micron, and 0.1 micron series of filters. •

The high performance 0.1 micron (absolute rated) water filter included with the reprocessor is highly effective at removing microorganisms and particles larger than 0.1 microns. Appropriate pre-filtration and regular disinfection are required to maintain the performance of this filter.

•

The routine maintenance schedule recommends replacing the 0.1 micron water filter every six months or sooner, depending on the pre-filtration system and the quality of the incoming water. If the filter clogs to the point of non effectiveness, the reprocessor will alarm and will not continue until the filter is replaced.

Detergent Solution Intercept Detergent must be used in the cleaning phase of the reprocessing cycle. Intercept Detergent is lowfoaming and formulated to use with medical instruments. Intercept has a neutral pH and also bacteriostatic properties to inhibit bacterial growth in the detergent reservoir and detergent lines.

Monitoring Disinfectant Potency The efficacy of a disinfection procedure is directly related to the disinfectant solution used, and the amount of time the endoscope is exposed to that solution. •

Rapicide PA must be monitored for potency every reprocessing cycle according to the instructions in this manual.

•

Use the Rapicide PA test strips to test the potency of the solution. If the potency of the solution is below MRC minimum recommended concentration (MRC), discard and replace it with fresh solution.

•

Never use disinfectant with unacceptable potency levels.

Disinfectant Solution Use only with Rapicide PA High Level Disinfectant (Part A & Part B).

Endoscope Cleaning and Testing The Medivators ADVANTAGE PLUS System may be used with all makes and sizes of flexible, immersible endoscopes that can be internally and externally disinfected. Proper endoscope disinfection is required because endoscopes have multiple internal valves and channels that have the potential to harbor microorganisms that could cross-contaminate patients. Reprocessing quality depends largely on a thorough flushing of all endoscope channels, valves and fittings where contamination can occur. This reprocessor includes a cleaning cycle that may be used to eliminate manual cleaning of the endoscopes. Used endoscopes must be pre-cleaned according to manufacturers, guidelines and your internal facility procedures before reprocessing. Follow the endoscope manufacturer’s, instructions and established professional guidelines while pre-cleaning and disinfecting endoscopes. Leak test all endoscopes prior to disinfection. If the cleaning cycle is not chosen, endoscopes must be manually cleaned before placing in the reprocessor for disinfection. Only Intercept detergent has been validated for use in the cleaning cycle. It is recommended that cleaning and reprocessing take place within one hour after the procedure is completed.
