ULTRASOUND GASTROVIDEOSCOPE GF-UCT180
Program
Make sure that the temperature of the water inflow into the
cleaning units is sufficiently cold (e.g., ≤25°C) to avoid
thermal coagulation of protein. Do not use programs starting
with high temperatures.
The WD program should consist of the following stages:
Figure 6.2
Step Description
1 Pre-cleaning (≤25°C)
2 Cleaning (with detergent, 55°C, 10 min)
3 Rinsing (with or without neutralizer)
4 Heating (hot water)
5 Thermal disinfection which serves as the final rinsing
(without detergent and neutralizer, 93°C, 5 min)
6Drying (95°C, 10 min) (Setting values)
Table 6.13 WD program parameters
*1
Olympus tested the compatibility of medical instrument with the WD compatible
with ISO 15883-1, 2. The drying temperature and the drying duration were 110
°C
and 20 minutes, respectively
*2
.
*2 This value may not be the actual temperature of the medical instrument
being processed in the chamber, but it is a setting value for the WD. The
drying temperature for which Olympus confirmed material compatibility is
110°C as the WD setting value. In the drying process, the temperature
around the product can be affected by various factors (e.g., chamber size,
loading amount, layout of instruments in the chamber).
