9 Dosing system In standard form, the machine has two dosing systems. One is for alkaline detergent and one is for rinse-aid or acid detergent. The machine cannot be started until detergent has been added. If the detergent container is empty, DOS 1 LOW LEVEL (for example) appears on the display. A third and a fourth dosing system for chemical disinfection of heat-sensitive goods or instrument milk (for example) can be installed. Important! When installing and starting the machine, check that the detergent reaches the dosing pump. V1627 Drying Empty container alarm Containers for detergent/rinse-aid If the machine is not fitted with flow monitoring, the dosing must be checked visually. If the type of detergent is changed, the dosing system must be recalibrated for the new detergent. If the machine does not have a dryer, we recommend that the goods are dried in a separate drying cabinet. Page 9 of 24

10 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Loading items to be washed into the machine Load the items to be washed on to the trolley and run the trolley into the machine. Examples showing how to load the trolley are shown on the goods positioning sign. NOTE: Maximum weight of items to be washed and wash trolley: 46-2: 35 kg 46-3: 35 kg 46-4: 50 kg 46-5: 60 kg Make sure that the washer arms can rotate freely without touching the goods. Close the door and make sure that the handle is in the locked position. J058 Choose program Choose a program in one of the following ways: - Press one of the program selection buttons Press S. Choose a program from the list with H and J. Press S to confirm your choice. You can see the machine programs on the separate program sheet. Press V. A fine filter must be used when cleaning and disinfecting tubular instruments with a passage smaller than 1 mm, to prevent particles getting stuck in the instruments. Blocked or reduced water flow may result in ineffective cleaning and disinfection. Page 10 of 24 If the program is aborted after starting, the goods will not be properly washed or disinfected. While a program is running While the program is running, a yellow lamp at M is lit and the program phase (eg Rinse ) and the current temperature are shown on the display. Press S to see how much time remains. When the program is complete When the program is complete, a green lamp lights up at N. The door (on the clean side if the sterilizer has two doors) is unlocked and can be opened. If the items are still hot after a program, handle them with care to avoid burns. Empty the machine (and if the machine has double doors, close the clean-side door). If the same program is to be used again, there is no need to select the program again. Simply press V directly. NOTE: The lighting in the chamber and in the display switches to standby mode after 30 minutes and returns automatically when a program is started or selected.

11 Positioning the goods NOTE: All vessels must be thoroughly emptied before they are loaded into the machine. Use inserts and special inserts correctly and only for the items and utensils that are to be washed. Make sure that the water jets reach all surfaces of the goods. Any surfaces that are covered will not be completely clean. Do not block the spray arm. Make sure that the strainers in the machine are clean and that water can flow through them. It is important to clean and check the strainers regularly. Empty all vessels to be washed before they are placed in the machine. Position sharp and pointed utensils in such a way that they cannot cause injury or damage during loading and unloading. Make sure that utensils are not lying on top of each other, preventing water from reaching all surfaces. Position vessels with their openings downwards in the correct inserts. Water must be able to flow freely into and out of the vessels. Goods with a convex bottom must be positioned on a tilt so that water does not collect in the convex surface. Anodised aluminium and nickel-plated instruments are not suitable for washing in a washer disinfector. Rigid endoscopes must be dismantled in accordance with the manufacturer s instructions before washing. Open all valves and remove covers and seals so that the channels can be thoroughly flushed out to achieve the desired cleaning result. Optics and light guides must be approved by the manufacturer for thermal disinfection. Working with detergents etc Empty out all residue of acid, especially hydrochloric acid, solvents and chloridecontaining solvents from the vessels before placing them in the machine. Pre-treatment with detergent or disinfectant and certain types of dirt may result in increased lather formation. The lather may affect the washing and disinfection result. Follow carefully the manufacturer s instructions for detergents and special products. To avoid chemical reactions (eg oxy-hydrogen gas) and damage to materials, the detergent must only be used for the purpose stated by the manufacturer. Handle liquid agents (for cleaning, rinsing, disinfection and neutralizing) with care. The substances often consist of acids or caustic solutions. Do not add organic solvents as this may result in an explosion. Use safety glasses and protective gloves when handling these substances. Always follow the manufacturer s safety instructions when handling chemical agents. Do not use domestic dishwasher detergent. Follow the dosing instructions of the detergent manufacturer. Different detergents may have different cleaning effects. If cleaning results are not satisfactory, try changing to a detergent of a different quality before contacting Getinge. Page 11 of 24

12 Daily inspection Check that no objects have fallen down into the bottom of the washing chamber. Loose objects may cause blockages and seriously reduce the performance of the washer disinfector. Check that the spray arms can rotate freely. Check that the holes in the washing arms are not blocked. Blocked spray holes may adversely affect the cleaning result. Check that the goods to be cleaned are retained in the insert. If the arms need cleaning, remove them by unscrewing the central nut. The arms can then be lifted off and washed clean. Check that the arm can rotate freely when re-installed. Centre nut Coarse strainer Fine strainer Detergent/rinse-aid container Remove and clean the strainer in the bottom of the washing chamber. A dirty coarse strainer may prevent water from circulating and create the conditions for the growth of bacteria. The heating coils under the coarse strainer may be hot. Page 12 of 24 If necessary for cleaning, open the strainer with the two nuts. Open the detergent access panel and check that there is detergent/rinse-aid in the containers and the hoses. Check that the trolley docks properly with the water connections. If the wash trolley does not dock properly, adjust the spring. Check the accessories of the machine visually with regard to their intended use and function. For example, blocked channels, worn and missing parts that might affect the performance of the machine. Water must be able to flow freely through the ducts in hollow instruments. Check the cleaning instructions of the goods manufacturer. To achieve the intended level of performance and safety, distribute the load evenly over the washing surface. Check the cleaning result visually when the process is complete. Check that the dockings move easily. The spray arm journal must be checked daily and replaced every five years.

13 If necessary The spray arm Clean the spray arms when necessary by unscrewing the central nut, lifting off the spray arm and rinsing it until it is clean. Take off the plastic end pieces by pressing the metal bar over the edge of the spray arm and removing them. Using a washing brush, clean the inside of the spray arm. V2026 V2027 After cleaning, press the metal bar back into the groove in the plastic end piece. Check that the arm can rotate freely when re-installed. V1627 Washing chamber Do not allow deposits to form in the wash chamber. Remove any deposits as follows: Open the door and dispense 200 ml NEODISHER BU descaler (sold by Dr. Weigert) into the washing chamber. Close the door and run the descaling program. NOTE: There must not be any items in the machine with this program. It is only used to descale the machine and insert. The outside The front and side walls can be cleaned and disinfected with an alcohol-based cleaning agent, medical spirit or an ordinary cleaner. The control panel can be cleaned in the same way. To remove stains, use ordinary stainless steel cleaner. If the washer disinfector is used without automatic descaling for incoming water, the heating element must be checked regularly for limescale deposits. It is important to maintain a good level of hygiene around the machine. Page 13 of 24

21 Water quality Washer disinfectors 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 that the washer disinfector is made of * The chemicals used in the process * Process requirements for the various stages of the process The main factors for good water quality are: Hardness Ionic contaminants Microbial contaminants Sanitary chemicals High hardness will cause limescale deposits in the washer disinfector, leading to poor cleaning results. A high concentration of ionic contaminants may cause corrosion and pitting on stainless steel. Heavy metals such as iron, manganese or copper cause instruments to tarnish. The water used should not increase the biological load on the equipment that is being treated against micro-organisms and their residual products which may cause fever-like symptoms when they get into the human body. High concentrations of and high exposure to sanitary chemicals may cause corrosion and pitting on stainless steel. Getinge Disinfection AB therefore recommends that water used in the pre-rinsing, washing and final rinsing phases should be of drinkable quality in accordance with the guidelines. Detailed information about acceptable water quality can be found in Guidelines for Drinking Water Quality, 3rd Edition published by WHO. Getinge Disinfection AB also recommends following local standards. RO (reverseosmosis) water (or similarly treated water) is used for the final washing/disinfection phase. A typical specification for RO water is: ph 5.5 till 8 Conductivity <30 µs.cm -1 TDS <40 mg/l Maximum hardness <50 mg/l Chlorine <10 mg/l Heavy metals <10 mg/l Phosphates <0.2 mg/l as P 2 O 5 Silicates <0.2 mg/l som SiO 2 Endotoxins <0.25 EU/ml Total number of micro-organisms <100 per 100 ml Further advice should also be obtained from the manufacturers of chemical and medical equipment. Where local standards are stricter than Getinge Disinfection AB s recommendations, they should be followed. Note that it is the customer s responsibility to supply the washer disinfector with suitable water. Page 21 of 24

22 Handling of worn-out washer/flusher disinfectors Worn-out electrical and electronic machines consist of recyclable materials. However, they also contain materials that are harmful but necessary in order for the machines to function in a proper and secure way. If these materials are placed among the domestic waste or handled in the wrong way, it could lead to health hazards or damage to the environment. The machine might be contaminated. This means it must be disinfected before it can be recycled. Therefore you should never, not under any circumstances, place the worn-out washer/ flusher disinfector among the domestic waste. Instead, take worn-out electrical and electronic machines to a recycling plant. Ask your reseller if required. Make sure the worn-out washer/flusher disinfector is kept out of reach of children before it is taken away for recycling. All plastic parts of the washer/ flusher disinfector have international markings on them. Therefore it is possible to recycle the parts of the washer/ flusher disinfector in an environmentally friendly way by means of proper waste sorting. Page 22 of 24
