GUS® Model G10VP Instruction Manual

Principle of Operation Your probe is suspended in the soaking container, preventing damage to the sensitive tip. Fumes are drawn into the unit away from the operator and into the filter. One of the containers is used for clean rinse water. This ensures that when the probe is removed from the unit, no high level disinfectant will drip or off-gas. Two blowers draw the fumes through the carbon filter where they are effectively eliminated and clean air is returned to the room. No ductwork or external venting is required.

Safety Precautions Disconnect the power before replacing the filter or when servicing the unit.

Setting up your GUS® Items Included Please check to ensure that your new GUS® system arrived with a packet of the following parts: • • • • • • • •

Two hollow wall anchors and screws for wall mounting the unit. Glutaraldehyde warning label for soak container Two 30.5cm soak/rinse containers with caps Two keys to safety door One Phillips screwdriver Indelible ink pen for marking cable Warning Card – MUST be placed above the workstation Four tacks for mounting the Warning Card

Wall Mounting 1.

There must be a minimum of 10.2cm of clearance on the left side of the unit to allow for access to the On/Off switch and fuse, and 10.2cm of clearance beneath the unit.

2.

Measure up from the floor approximately 1.38m.

3.

At that point, using a level, draw a line approximately 20.3cm long. Mark two points on this line 20.3cm apart.

4.

Using the enclosed Phillips screwdriver, press the tip of the wall anchor through these two points and turn clockwise until the anchor is flush with the wall.

5.

Screw the two 1” Philips screws into the anchors. Back off the screws approximately .33cm from the wall and place the unit over the screws and tighten the screws. (Do not over-tighten the screws.)

6.

For masonry walls use a suitable lead or plastic shield and bolt. These shields are not supplied.

7.

You MUST tack the Warning Card to the wall in a visible location directly above or beside the workstation. (Tacks are included).

Marking the Cable All your probes to be soaked must be marked on the cable as follows: Place the probe gently into empty container and insert the cable between the front and back grip clips by depressing the tab. With the tab depressed, slide the cable up till the tip of the probe is about 1.27cm above the bottom of the container. Release the tab and mark the cable with the indelible pen (provided) just above the front grip clip.

Using High Level Disinfectants with your GUS® Establishing Soaking Depth A full container holds one liter of disinfectant or water. The connection between the strain relief and the probe is not watertight. Be sure to fill the container to a point that is BELOW the strain relief.

Probe Placement To ensure the correct soaking depth, simply push in the tab, place the cable between the front and back grip clip and align the mark on the cable above the grip clip. (See Marking the Cable on Page 2).

Soak and Rinse 1. Switch the system ON using the ON/OFF switch located on left side of unit. The red indicator will light when the unit is operating. 2. You are now ready to pour the high level disinfectant into the soaking container. Be sure the soaking container is in place and the unit is turned ON before filling the container with highlevel disinfectant. 3. Fill the other container with clean rinse water for the preliminary rinse. This eliminates offgassing and dripping disinfectant between the unit and the sink. 4. The system is now ready for use. 5. If your GUS® is located next to your ultrasound machine, you do not need to disconnect the cable. If you need to disconnect the cable from the ultrasound machine, the electrical connector may be placed in the top padded compartment of the unit. 6. Place the probe into the soak container (see Probe Placement above). 7. Soaking time is dependent on your own infection control practice; typically this is between 10 to 20 minutes. 8. To remove the probe from the soak container, push back on the blue plastic tab and slide the cable out, lift the probe up, shake it gently to remove the large drops of disinfectant and then place it directly into the rinse container. 9. Rinse off the probe by GENTLY swirling it around in the rinse container. The probe can now be removed and given a final rinse in the sink. 10. To prevent evaporation, when not in use, replace the screw caps on the containers.

Quick Trouble Shoot If your GUS® is not running, check the following: 1. Ensure that the unit is plugged into a live wall outlet. 2. Make sure the On/Off switch (located on left side) is on. 3. In the event that the system is still not working, check the fuse. The fuse is located on the left side of the unit above the power cord. UNPLUG UNIT BEFORE UNSCREWING FUSE COVER. 4. Unscrew the fuse cover and remove the fuse. If the filament is damaged, replace it with a Type FSF 5 x 20 mm 1 amp 250VAC. 5. If the unit is still not working, please call your local representative or PCI medical inc.

Repair and Modification This system contains no user-serviceable parts. Do not modify or attempt to repair it; contact PCI medical to purchase replacement filters and parts. Equipment damage can result from user attempts to repair or modify the system components. Before attempting to perform routine maintenance on the system, thoroughly review and understand this manual for complete familiarization with the system and its operation.

Filter Life GUS® has a patented filter that in normal every day use will have a six-month life.

Filter Replacement 1. Turn the main power switch OFF and disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet. 2. Remove the foam pad from the top compartment. 3. Remove the top plate located in the top compartment by turning the captive screws counterclockwise. 4. Remove the old filter by inserting fingers into the finger holes and pulling up. 5. Using a clean, lint-free cloth, wipe the filter compartment clean of any dust particles that may be present. 6. Replace with a new filter; making sure the airflow arrows are pointing to the rear of the machine. 7. Put the used filter into a plastic bag and dispose of it with other non-hazardous waste. This does not need to be red tagged. 8. Replace the top plate and tighten the captive screws by turning clockwise. Replace the foam pad.

Cleaning Turn the main power switch OFF and disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet. Use mild detergent solution such as dish washing liquid and water. Hard to clean spots may be cleaned with a mild solvent if extra care is taken.

Disposing of Used High Level Disinfectants PCI medical recommends the use of a deactivating agent when disposing of used high-level disinfectants. This eliminates the danger of fumes, splashes and spills. GLUTE-OUT II™ glycine based neutralizer (part # NG2) from PCI medical comes in a convenient two-ounce bottle. With the unit running, open the bottle of neutralizer and slowly pour the contents into the container of high-level disinfectant. After five minutes the disinfectant is deactivated and it is then safe to dispose of down the sink/drain. IMPORTANT: Thoroughly clean and rinse out the container. With the unit turned on, put the clean soaking container back into place and refill it with fresh high-level disinfectant.
