Positioning the items
Note:
All vessels must be carefully emptied before being loaded in the machine.
Use inserts and special inserts efciently and only for the goods and utensils to be washed.
Ensure that the water jets reach all surfaces of the goods. Surfaces that are covered
in some way will not be perfectly clean.
Do not block the washer arms.
Make sure that the strainers in the machine are clean and that the water can ow
through these. It is important to clean and check the strainers regularly.
Empty all vessels to be washed before positioning them in the machine.
Placer sharp and pointed utensils so that they can not cause injuries when loading
and unloading.
Make sure that utensils do not lie on top of each other and in a manner that pre-
vents the water from reaching all surfaces.
Place vessels with openings downwards in the inserts. It must be possible for the
water to ow freely in and out of the vessels.
Goods with domed bases are positioned at an incline so that water does not collect
on the domed surface.
Anodised aluminium and nickel plated instruments are not suitable for washing in
the washer disinfector.
Rigid endoscopes must be dismantled according to the manufacturer’s instructions
before washing.
Open all valves and remove covers and seals so that the ducts are properly rinsed to
produce the required cleaning result.
Optics and light cables must be approved for thermal disinfection by the manufacturer.
The goods must be distributed evenly over the surface.
Handling detergent
Empty out all residues of acids, especially hydrochloric acid, solvents and
chloride based solvents from the vessel before it is placed in the machine.
Pre-treatment with, e.g. detergent or disinfectant and some types of dirt can cause
increased lather. The lather can affect the washing and disinfection result.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully with regard to detergent and
special products. In order to avoid damage to material and chemical reactions
(e.g. oxy-hydrogen gas) the detergent must only be used for purposes prescribed by
the manufacturer.
Handle liquid agents (cleaning, rinse, disinfection and neutralizing agents) with
care. These agents usually consists of acids or lye. Do not add organic solvents
as this can bring about an explosion risk. Wear protective glasses and protective
gloves when handling agents. Always follow the manufacturer’s safety instructions
which regard to handling chemical agents.
Do not use detergent for household dishwashers.
Follow the detergent manufacturer’s dosage instructions. The cleaning effect can
vary between different detergents. If the cleaning result is not satisfactory, try an-
other quality detergent before contacting Getinge.
