to

ensure

high

quality

The user must oversee the machine during the cycle. The injection tube for washing water must always be connected with the appropriated basket. When the machine is running do not interrupt the cycle since this jeopardises disinfection. Check periodically using chemical indicators to ensure correct disinfection. Use recommended detergents and chemical additives only. The use of other products may damage the machine. During the manipulation of treated objects, it is required the use of appropriated PPE to prevent contact with infected material and the risk of contamination. Do not introduce dirty instruments of substances that must not be discharged in sewage system (in accordance with current legislation) but must be disposed in specific way. Recommending chemical additives does not make the manufacturer responsible for any damage to the materials and objects treated. Check that type of chemical product is suitable for the specific washing program used. Follow the manufacturer's indications when using chemical products and use them for the foreseen use only. The machine was designed for use with water and chemical additives. Do not use organic or other types of solvent as this may result in the risk of explosion or the rapid deterioration of certain machine parts. Residues of solvents or acids, particularly “hydrochloric acid”, can damage steel. Contact should be avoided. Use original accessories only. Do never use soap powder. Do never use foaming detergent. The machine is to be used only with the baskets and or accessories included by the manufacturer. Accessories which are not approved by the manufacturer may compromise the results achieved as well as user safety. Do never use chemical products based on chlorides (bleaches, sodium hypochlorite, hydrochloric acid and so on). These kinds of chemical detergents irreparably damage the machine and jeopardise the integrity of materials and objects treated.

The taps of the water feeding must be always turned off, as the safety and diagnosis system will be deactivated, in the following situations:  if the machine is left unused;  if the machine is disconnected from the electrical connection.

2.4.1 Inlet water quality The quality of the water used in all stages of cleaning is important for good results. The water used in each stage must be compatible with:   

The material of which the washer disinfector is made. The chemicals used in the process. Process requirements for the various stages of the process.

The main factors for good inlet water quality in relation to the washing efficacy are:

HARDNESS

The high hardness of the water generates a detergent inactivation, reducing its efficacy. It also causes limescale deposits in the machine, jeopardizing the clean of the instruments and the machine, especially on hot parts (ex. heating elements).

IONIC CONTAMINANTS

A high concentration of ionic contaminants may cause corrosion of steel, manganese or copper instruments.

MICROBIAL CONTAMINANTS

Microbial contaminants can increase the microbial contamination of the instruments at the end of the wash.

The manufacturer therefore recommends that: water used in the pre-rinsing and washing phases should be of drinkable quality in accordance with the rd “Guidelines for drinking water quality 3 edition” published by WHO. demi water is used for the rinsing phase. A typical specification for demi water is:

Ion concentration H+ Conductivity TDS Maximum hardness (CaCO3) Chlorine Heavy metals Phosphates Silicates Endotoxins Colony-forming unit (CFU)

4.5…7 pH < 30 µs.cm

-1

< 40 mg/l < 10 mg/l < 10 mg/l < 10 mg/l < 0.2 mg/l as P2O5 < 0.2 mg/l as SiO2 < 0.25 EU/ml < 100 per 100 ml (*)

(*) for rinsing after disinfection phase, the maximum limit changes to 0. Further advice should also be obtained from the manufacturers of chemical and medical equipment. Where local standards are stricter than provided recommendations, they should be followed. Note: that it is the user’s responsibility to supply the machine with suitable water.
