Medivators DSD-201 - Running the Disinfection Process

DSD™-201 Endoscope Reprocessor User Manual
OPERATION
Disinfectant Phase
During the disinfectant phase, scope channels are purged with disinfectant. Subse-
quently, the basin is filled with disinfectant through the chamber valve. Once the basin is
filled and the temperature is stabilized inside the basin, the scope is soaked for the
desired disinfectant soak time. During the soak period, if the re-circulation option is
included and enabled, the scope channels are purged via the re-circ pump. Otherwise the
disinfectant is pumped through the channels and returned to the reservoir through the
overflow valve. After soak, the disinfectant is returned to the reservoir by gravity.
The temperature stabilization process only applies for reprocessors with an installed and
enabled heat option.
Rinse 1 Phase
During rinse 1, the basin is partially filled with water and then drained to eliminate the
foam residue from inside the scope and from the basin. Then, the basin is filled with
fresh water while the scope channels are flushed. Once the basin fills up, fluid is purged
through the scope channels if the re-circulation option is included. Otherwise the scope
channels are flushed with fresh water. The basin is then drained while the channels are
purged with fresh water.
Rinse 2 Phase
Rinse 2 phase is identical to rinse 1 phase excluding the partial rinse period.
Rinse 3 Phase
Rinse 3 phase is identical to rinse 2 phase.
Alcohol Phase
During the alcohol phase, alcohol is injected through scope channels then followed by
an air purge for the Alcohol time programmed in Setup 5. The alcohol injection time is
also programmed using Setup 5.
