◻ Wall-mounted chemical dosing system is connected to washer/disinfector injection components and color-coded
chemical feed lines. Each chemical pickup tube and low-level sensor are placed in proper color-coded container.
◻ Verify for removal of any construction and/or installation debris inside and outside wash chamber, under floor
grids, as well as on and under sump filter. Clean as required.
◻ Verify all protective paper has been removed from stainless steel.
◻ Floor underneath and around washer/disinfector has a noncombustible and nonslip surface or is covered with a
metal sheet extending to the outer edges of the washer/disinfector.
WARNING
POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD
When washer/disinfector is installed on a combustible floor, floor must be covered with a metal
sheet extending to the outer edges of washer/disinfector.
◻ Walls surrounding washer/disinfector have a noncombustible surface.
◻ Verify all quick disconnect clamps (on washer and on mechanical core) are tight. Tighten as necessary.
IMPORTANT: After a few weeks of operation, inspect washer/disinfector for leaks. Retighten all clamps and connections.
3.7 Chemicals and Cycles — Introduction
Maximizing the efficiency and the life of the washer/disinfector is predicated on the type of water and the cleaning
chemistries used. The corrosive effects of water (deionized, soft and hard water) and contaminants found in water
(such as hardness cations, corrosive anions, metals, etc.) can shorten the useful life of equipment.
It is also important for the cleaning chemistries utilized to have low and controlled foam to maintain the pressure in the
washer/disinfector for adequate impingement and effective rinsing.
Cleaning chemistries used should maintain effectiveness regardless of water quality, type or the contaminants
contained in the water and they should be formulated to help prevent corrosion of equipment due to the use of water
in the cleaning process.
Refer to TableTable 3-1 and Table 3-2, as well as Table 6-1, Cycle Description Chart, for more details about the cycles
and the Prolystica Ultra Concentrate Chemicals.
IMPORTANT: STERIS does not promote, recommend or endorse the use of any other type of chemical additives and chemicals
