Medivators DSD-201 - General Operational Guidelines

DSD™-201 Endoscope Reprocessor Service Manual
INTRODUCTION
Guidelines
Guidelines are established to ensure patient safety, operator safety, and to maintain reliable
reprocessor operation.
Installation and Maintenance
Proper maintenance will ensure effective disinfection and prolong the life of the reprocessor.
・ The reprocessor must be protectively grounded.
* The system default is factory-set for a 20 minute disinfectant immersion period. This
period may be changed in the custom program setting. Verify the program is appro-
priate for the disinfectant used.
+ All pressure regulators are factory-preset. Do not adjust the settings. Contact your
Technical Support representative for assistance.
・ Do not allow the sanitizing solution to contact metal components.
* Do not use alcohol or alcohol-based products to clean the reprocessor cabinet as this
may cause crazing.
+ The hook-ups are not autoclavable and must be reprocessed by low temperature dis-
infection only.
・ Replacement parts must be ordered from the manufacturer to maintain the warranty.
Water Quality
Potable water is the minimum standard. Incoming water must be pre-filtered to minimum of
0.45-microns.
* The high performance 0.2-micron water filter included with the reprocessor is a ster-
ilizing grade bioretentive filter. The filter removes all microorganisms and particles
greater than 0.2-microns.
+ The routine maintenance schedule recommends replacing the 0.2-micron water filter
every 6 months or sooner, depending on the pre-filtration system and the quality of
the incoming water.
