Medivators DSD-201 - Installation Verification Procedure

REPROCESSING SYSTEMS
Detergent Solution
Medivators recommends the use of a detergent solution that has bacteriostatic properties to inhibit
bacterial growth in the detergent reservoir and detergent line.
Caution! Never use household detergent in the reprocessor.
Disinfectant Solution
Select a low-foaming, high level disinfectant specifically manufactured for high-level medical
instrument disinfection. The product must be capable of destroying M. tuberculosis.
・ Consult the product label for appropriate contact time and temperature when program-
ming the disinfection cycle.
Monitoring Disinfectant Potency
The efficacy of a disinfection procedure is directly related to the disinfectant solution used and the
amount of time the endoscope is exposed to that solution.
・ Disinfectants must be monitored for potency on a daily basis. Consult the disinfectant
manufacturer recommendations for monitoring guidelines.
* Use the manufacturer’s test strips to test the potency of the solution on a daily basis. If
the potency of the solution is below its minimum recommended concentration (MRC),
discard and replace it with fresh solution.
* Never use disinfectant beyond the manufacturer’s recommended reuse life, even if the
potency levels are acceptable.
+ Never use disinfectant with unacceptable potency levels, even if the reuse date is
unexpired.
