SYSTEM 1 endo Liquid Chemical Sterilant Processing System

The purpose of the DIAGNOSTIC cycle is to ensure that the electro-mechanical
systems of the Processor are functioning correctly. The cycle consists of a series
of internal tests which are performed sequentially.
• Successful completion of a DIAGNOSTIC cycle assures the operator that
the Processor will operate as designed for the liquid chemical sterilization
of medical devices.
• Failure of a DIAGNOSTIC cycle tells the operator that the Processor must
not be used until the problem is corrected and a successful DIAGNOSTIC
cycle is run. Once a DIAGNOSTIC cycle fails, a liquid chemical sterilization
cycle cannot be performed until a DIAGNOSTIC cycle passes.
• STERIS recommends running a DIAGNOSTIC cycle once every 24 hours.
Length of cycle: approximately 19 minutes.

PREPARE PROCESSOR FOR DIAGNOSTIC CYCLE
Place processing tray in the Processor.
If the processing tray is designed for use with a processing container, place the
processing container (with lid) in the processing tray.
STEP 1
CLOSE THE PROCESSOR LID
NOTE: The screen will not advance (cycle cannot be started) until the lid
is closed.
When the lid is closed display shows:
READY

... alternating with ...
PRESS START
TO BEGIN CYCLE
... OR ... the display will show the first option screen that is enabled.
NOTE: The DIAGNOSTIC cycle may be run at any time except when the
Processor is running a liquid chemical sterilization cycle.
STEP 2
CAUTION: Never use sterilant
for the DIAGNOSTIC cycle.
PRESS THE DIAG TOUCH PAD
Press the DIAG touch pad to run a DIAGNOSTIC cycle. The Processor will
automatically run through a series of diagnostic tests.
NOTE: If the MaxLife water filter has not been changed within 180 days,
the display shows:
CHANGE MAXLIFE
FILTER
A DIAGNOSTIC cycle cannot be started until the MaxLife water filter is
changed. See Section 9, Part 2 for instructions on changing the filter and
Section 9, Part 7 to reset the life cycle of the MaxLife water filter using
Change Values Programming.
STEP 3
WARNING: The 0.2 micron
MaxLife water filter must be
changed every 180 days.
