WARNINGS:
Do not use the SYSTEM 1 endo Processor until it has been properly installed and its electro/mechanical performance
is verified.
The SYSTEM 1 endo Processor may be used only in hospital-grade rooms when it is installed according to the
applicable specification (VDE 0107, Class 1 Group C NFPA Rating).
The SYSTEM 1 endo Processor is not intended for operation in explosion-endangered areas.
The SYSTEM 1 endo Processor is not protected against water spillage or spray. Take precautions in the use of liquid
during cleaning or insertion of devices.
Connect the SYSTEM 1 endo Processor to hospital grade receptacle only following national and local codes (GFCI,
RCBO, etc.).
Do not attempt to access non-user serviceable components of the SYSTEM 1 endo Processor.
Failure to thoroughly clean devices, endoscopes, etc., may result in ineffective liquid chemical sterilization.
Failure to properly position devices so that all surfaces will be exposed to the liquid sterilant or overloading the
processing container may result in ineffective liquid chemical sterilization and/or damage the devices.
Always verify that the sterilant container is empty at the completion of the cycle.
Devices are not liquid chemically sterilized and/or adequately rinsed when a liquid chemical sterilization cycle is
cancelled.
Danger: Risk of explosion if used in the presence of flammable substances.
Repairs by unauthorized individuals should not be attempted and may result in damage or malfunction. Non-user
serviceable components should be serviced by an authorized STERIS Service Representative only.
Disconnect electrical power before cleaning.
The performance of the SYSTEM 1 endo Processor has been validated and optimized with components defined by
STERIS in the Operator Manual for the SYSTEM 1 endo Processor. Use of pre-filters that do not meet STERIS's
specifications and have not been validated by STERIS can lead to premature failure of the MaxLife water filter
inside the processor. STERIS’s warranty will not apply to damage or early life failure of the MaxLife water filter
resulting from the use of pre-filters that do not meet STERIS’s specifications. DO NOT USE components that do
not meet STERIS’s specifications and have not been validated by STERIS.
Do not position equipment so that it is difficult to disconnect the plug from the duplex receptacle.
Do not substitute any other product for S40 Sterilant Concentrate.
Contact with or inhalation of the inert powdered ingredients in the outer cup of S40 Sterilant Concentrate may
cause irritation to eye, skin or respiratory system.
Throughout this manual, WARNING statements have been included to alert the operator to important information regarding
safety and liquid chemical sterilization efficacy.
CAUTION statements advise the operator of important information regarding processor and device safety, and proper
operating technique.
Please review and be familiar with these statements before using the SYSTEM 1 endo Processor and S40 Sterilant
Concentrate.
IMPORTANT:
These instructions are to be placed in an easily seen location.
