l * N = Normal solution, which contains 1 ‘gram equivalent weight’ (gEW) of
solute per liter of solution. The gram equivalent weight is equal to the
molecular weight expressed as grams divided by the ‘valency’ of the
solute.
Alternatively use an Enzyme-Active Detergent:
1. Mix an enzyme-active detergent according to the manufacturer’s directions to fill
a four-liter supply bottle. Connect the bottle to the washer’s Buffer valve A.
Connect a bottle of deionized or distilled water to Buffer valve B to rinse the
tubing.
2. Run the W-DECONTAMINATE protocol, as appropriate.
3. Respond to the Delay message, “Connect a bottle of water…”, leave the detergent
bottle connected and when ready, press Continue.
4. When the protocol is completed, connect a bottle containing four liters of
deionized water and run W-DAY_RINSE three times to flush the system.
Clean the Buffer Bottle Filter
Periodically clean the buffer bottle filter (PN 01310):
l Perform this task when the buffer bottle is empty or over a sink to catch
spillage.
1. Open the buffer bottle
and lift the cap and its
tubing up and out of
the bottle.
2. Remove the fluid filter
at the bottom of the
tubing.
3. Wash the filter with
hot water and a soft-
bristled brush, if
necessary.
4. Rinse the filter and
reinstall it.
