4 OPERATION
4.1 Preparations
4.1.1 Loading the wash cart

WARNING!
A fine filter must be used to clean and disinfect
tubular instruments with a passage of less than 2
mm, to prevent particles from getting stuck in the
instruments. Blocked or reduced water flow may
result in ineffective cleaning and no disinfection.

WARNING!
All containers must be emptied before they are
loaded into the machine.

Load the wash cart and observe the following guidelines:


• Always follow the cleaning instructions from the manufacturer
of goods and instruments.
• Certain types of materials require special handling before,
during and after cleaning in this machine. Instructions for
this are provided by the instrument manufacturer.
• Optics and light guides must be approved by the
manufacturer for thermal disinfection.
• Use inserts and special inserts as intended.
• Only use inserts that are intended for the goods that are to be
washed.
• Place sharp and pointed goods in such a way that they
cannot cause injury when they are loaded and unloaded.
• Ensure that the goods are not placed on top of each other,
which will prevent the water from reaching all surfaces.
• Place containers with openings downwards in the intended
inserts. The water must be able to flow freely through the
<Doc_USR><Doc_6002267102><Rev.C><Lang_en>

vessels.
• Tilt items in such a way that collection of water is prevented.
• Rigid endoscopes must be dismantled in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions before cleaning.
• Open all valves and remove covers and seals on items in
such a way that the channels can be thoroughly flushed out.
• Check that the items are retained in their inserts.
• Distribute the load evenly.
• Ensure that the water can flow through perforated
instruments. Special accessories may be needed for cleaning
certain instruments.

4.6 Check cleaning and disinfection results


1. Visually assess the cleanliness of the processed
goods, according to local requirements.
2. Verify, that the disinfection temperature and time were
achieved by reviewing the process records according to local
requirements.

4.7 Handling chemical agents

WARNING!
Empty out all pretreatment agent residuess from
the containers before placing them in the
machine. This applies, for example, to acids,
especially hydrochloric acid, solvents and
chloride-based solvents.

• Pretreatment with detergent or disinfectant, for examples, and


certain types of dirt may result in increased lather formation.
The lather may affect the washing and disinfection result.
• Carefully follow the manufacturer’s instructions for detergents
and special products. To avoid chemical reactions (e.g. oxy-
hydrogen gas) and damage to materials, the detergent must
only be used for the purpose stated by the manufacturer.
• Handle liquid detergents (for cleaning, rinsing, disinfection
and neutralizing) with care. These detergents often consist of
acids or lye. Do not add organic solvents as this may result in
an explosion. Wear protective glasses and protective gloves
when handling detergents. Always follow the manufacturer’s
safety instructions when handling chemical detergents.
• Do not use detergent intended for household dishwashers.
• Follow the dosing instructions of the detergent manufacturer.
The cleaning effect may vary between different detergents. If
a cleaning result is not satisfactory, try switching to a different
quality detergent from Getinge Disinfection AB.

4.8 Preparations for downtime


If a machine will not be used for more than 72 hours, it should be

Always make decisions regarding what detergent to use for
cleaning or disinfection of a specific load (material, soil and type of
items) together with the detergent supplier.
Make sure the intended use for the detergent corresponds with the
program and load.
Always contact a service technician for information regarding what
detergent to use in a specific program phase.

5.1 Using detergent

WARNING!
Dosing monitoring only works with detergents
with viscosities lower than 10 cSt.

WARNING!
Do not use detergent for household dishwashers.

Note!
The specified performance may not be achieved if other
process chemicals than those that were tested during type
testing are used.

The machine has been proven and tested with Getinge Disinfection
AB's range of detergents as per ISO 15883-1:2006.
• If chemicals are recommended in the manual, this does not
mean that the manufacturer of the machine accepts liability
for any impact the agent has on goods to be washed.
• Changes in the composition, conditions, etc. that were not
reported by the manufacturer may affect the result of the
cleaning process.
<Doc_USR><Doc_6002267102><Rev.C><Lang_en>

• Always follow the instrument manufacturer's instructions


when you use new instruments.
• The dosage amount depends on the water quality. For more
information, see the process chemicals product
specifications.

rinse-aid in the containers. Replace with new containers if
needed, see section 6.2.2 Fill up with detergent.
Washing chamber:
• Check that there are no limescale deposits in the washing
chamber. Remove any deposits as needed, see section
6.2.4 Descale the washing chamber.
Chamber floor:
• Check that no objects have fallen down into the bottom of the
washing chamber. Loose objects may cause blockage and
seriously reduce the performance of the machine.
• Clean the strainer at the bottom of the washing chamber, see
section 6.2.3.3 Clean the strainer.
Spray arms:
• Check the ends of the spray arms.
• Check that the spray arms can rotate freely.

The maintenance interval will have to be determined in each
individual case. Getinge Disinfection AB recommends that the
stated maintenance operations be performed at intervals according
to the service table.

8 WATER QUALITY

8 WATER QUALITY

WARNING!
It is the customer’s responsibility to supply the
washer-disinfector with water of the right quality.

The quality of the water used in all stages of cleaning is important


for good cleaning results. The water used in each step should 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 High hardness will cause limescale


deposits in the washer-disinfector, leading
to poor cleaning results.
Ionic contaminants 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.
Microbial Goods to be washed are treated for
contaminants microorganisms and their residual
products, which may cause fever-like
symptoms if they get into the human body.
Use water that does not increase the
biological load.
Sanitary chemicals High concentrations of, and high exposure
to, sanitary chemicals may cause
corrosion and pitting on stainless steel.

Getinge Disinfection AB recommends that water used in the pre-


rinsing, washing and final rinsing phases should be of drinking
quality in accordance with the guidelines. Recommended water
quality is drinking water with max 5°dH. Detailed information about
acceptable water quality can be found in “Guidelines for Drinking
<Doc_USR><Doc_6002267102><Rev.C><Lang_en>

Water Quality, 3rd Edition” published by WHO.
