Operator Manual
Inner surfaces of chamber, surgical case carts and racks are very hot after cycle is completed. Allow
washer/disinfector to cool down before entering chamber. Always wear appropriate Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE), including gloves and faceshield, and avoid all contact with inner walls when entering
chamber.
When removing reservoir cover, always wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including
gloves and faceshield to prevent burns from water solution splashes or steam.
WARNING
INEFFECTIVE PROCESS HAZARD
Customer is responsible for validating the performances of their own customized cycles. STERIS does not
recommend setting cycle parameters below those validated cycles.
CAUTION
POSSIBLE EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Always leave plenty of space between load and door before opening load door. Leaning load against door
will damage door and also prevent it from opening or closing.
Always select a cycle appropriate for the items being processed. Failure to do so may result in product
damage.
Items processed in the washer/disinfector must tolerate temperatures and chemicals specified in this
manual. Always follow instrument manufacturer recommendations for cleaning instructions.
Use nonabrasive cleaners when cleaning washer/disinfector. Follow directions on containers and rub in a
back-and-forth motion (in same direction as surface grain). Abrasive cleaners will damage stainless steel.
Cleaners rubbed in a circular motion or applied with a wire brush or steel wool on cabinet and chamber
assemblies can be harmful to stainless steel. Do not use these cleaners on painted surfaces.
When choosing a detergent, select one with a low-chloride content. Detergents with a high-chloride
content must not be used, as such detergents may harm stainless steel.
Wipe all plastic surfaces or painted surfaces with 70% isopropyl alcohol cleaner (such as glass or
countertop cleaners).
