considerably. For example, Silicone 503611703 is recommended for acidic agents based on citric acid,
while Fluran 503611704 is recommended for acidic agents based on phosphoric acid. Contact the
current detergent supplier if uncertain about which hose to select.
Flow monitoring
Getinge Disinfection AB's washer-disinfectors are type-tested using Getinge Disinfection AB's own
process chemical range, Getinge Clean. The washer-disinfector, including the dosing equipment, is
adapted and tested with these agents. If process chemicals with a higher viscosity than 10 cSt are used,
there is a risk that monitoring is not working to satisfaction.
The user has sole responsibility for drawing up a hands-on routine to ensure that the dosing system
works.
Starting up
The operation of detergent dosing is checked in the factory using water. When starting up, calibration
with the agent in question must be carried out for the machine to work properly. See the section
Dose
monitor calibration (2.1.6.2.3)
