parts could cause personal injury, invalidate warranty or result in costly damage. Contact STERIS
regarding service options.

Regularly scheduled preventive maintenance, in addition to faithful performance of minor maintenance
described in this manual, is required for safe and reliable operation of this equipment. Contact STERIS
to schedule preventive maintenance.

WARNING – PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD:

Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves and faceshield, when
cleaning or removing debris from bottom of the wash chamber and from sump filters.

Always verify flap door sill is down before entering wash chamber.

If cycle has not been completed, contaminated debris or water may remain in the bottom of wash cham­ber.

Keep hands/fingers away from closing doors to prevent crushing.

Never perform cleaning of wash chamber until full cycle has been completed. If cycle has not been
completed, contaminated debris or water may remain in the bottom of wash chamber.

To open door from inside wash chamber, pull emergency stop cable; then, pull emergency door handle.
Door may easily be open.

To prevent tipping, place biggest and heaviest items on the lower levels of accessory cart.

Cages and items in washing cart may move during processing and be filled with residual hot water or
protrude from cart at the end of the cycle. Always wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment
(PPE) and carefully remove cages and items from cart.

Safety Precautions Operator Manual 920512-768

1-1

WARNING – ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD:

Always set building electrical-supply disconnect switch and console master power switch to OFF before
performing any preventive maintenance functions within the compartments. Electrical shock can cause
serious injury.

Disconnect all utilities to washer before servicing. Do not service washer unless all utilities have been
properly locked out. Always follow local occupational health and safety regulations, as well as electric
and plumbing codes.

WARNING – BURN HAZARD:

After pressing STOP touch pad, wait until water flow stops before opening doors. Hot water/steam may
be sprayed through door opening if doors are opened too soon.

Before performing any service on unit, wait until chamber and piping cool to room temperature.

Except for emergency, do not open door when cycle is in progress. In an emergency, stop cycle by
pressing EMERGENCY STOP pushbutton and wait for safety delay to elapse before opening doors.
Hot water and steam could be sprayed through door opening if doors are opened too soon.

Inner surfaces of washer are very hot after cycle completion. Operator should wear appropriate per­sonal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves and faceshield and avoid all contact with inner walls
when entering chamber to unload washer.

Pipes may be extremely hot.

WARNING – CHEMICAL BURN HAZARD:

Always use non-foaming chemical for effective cleaning and proper pump and water level control opera­tion. Follow manufacturer's recommendations for amount of chemical to be used.

Washer chemicals are caustic and can cause adverse effects to exposed tissues. Do not get in eyes, on
skin or attempt to swallow. Read and follow precautions and instructions on chemical label and in Mate­rial Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) prior to handling chemical, refilling chemical container or servicing
chemical injection pump or lines. Wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) whenever
handling chemical or servicing chemical injection pump and lines.

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves and faceshield, when using a
descaling product. Avoid contact with eyes or skin. If spilled or splashed, flush with water for 15 min­utes. If swallowed, DO NOT induce vomiting. Administer an alkali with plenty of water. Seek medical
attention immediately.

920512-768 Operator Manual Safety Precautions

CAUTION – POSSIBLE EQUIPMENT DAMAGE:

Always use a silicone lubricant to lubricate squeeze tubes. Petroleum-based lubricants, such as
Vaseline

®1

or grease, will cause squeeze tubes to melt.

Avoid product damage. Always select a cycle appropriate for the items being processed.

Before operating the unit, always position Bottle Washing Cart or Central Header Manifold over the
manifolded coupling system. If manifold is not positioned correctly, damage may result and unit will be
unable to effectively wash load.

Do not process load using Central Header Manifold or Bottle Washing Cart when Automatic Floor Tilting
is activated. If Automatic Floor Tilting is used, manifolded water inlet and washer will be damaged.

Failure to connect wires to proper terminals may result in damage to, or malfunction of unit when power
is applied.

Items processed in the washer must tolerate temperatures and chemicals specified in this manual.
Always follow item manufacturer's recommendations for cleaning instructions.

Remove all cellulose type bedding from cages and pans before processing. Cellulose bedding may clog
filters and piping.

Remove any items, accessories or racks from wash chamber before processing a drying treatment prior
to a VHP cycle. Items will be damaged by high temperature drying.

Repeated fuse burnouts indicate a short circuit or overload. Trouble should be located and corrected by
a fully trained technician.

Use nonabrasive cleaners when cleaning unit. Follow directions on containers and rub in a back-and­forth 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 door and chamber assem­blies will damage stainless steel. Do not use these cleaners on painted surfaces.

When choosing a chemical, select one with a low chloride content. Chloride is harmful to stainless steel
and will deteriorate washer.

• Interlock Feature (Double-Door Units)

If unit is equipped with double doors, a door interlock feature pre-

vents cross-contamination by allowing only one door to be opened at
a time. Doors can be opened only one at a time.

If opening of both doors at the same time is more practical for facility
applications, it is possible to bypass the interlock system in Service
mode by a STERIS or STERIS-trained service technician. When inter­lock feature is deactivated, pressing DOOR CLOSE or DOOR OPEN
touch pads on either side of washer automatically opens or closes
both doors simultaneously.

3.6.1 LOCK/UNLOCK/INIT Key Switch

turned only using a key (see Figure 3-2). For added safety, key must
be accessible only to trained operators. Switch includes three set­tings:

1. LOCK – use key to turn selector switch to the left to LOCK
position to lock washer for minor maintenance purposes. When
switch is in LOCK position, operator cannot start a cycle and
display shows:

WASHER LOCKED

As an additional safety measure, key should be removed from
switch and kept by operator until ready to unlock washer.

2. UNLOCK – use key to turn selector switch to UNLOCK position
to unlock washer and enable washer to resume normal opera­tion.

3. INITIALIZATION – use key to turn selector switch to the right to
reset washer normal operation after emergency stop cables or
EMERGENCY STOP pushbutton were activated, after a power
up or the return of current after a power failure.

7. Washer automatically progresses through the following pro­grammed treatments :

IMPORTANT: VHP exhaust maintains a slightly negative
pressure inside wash chamber during VHP cycle.

a. Dehumidification Phase: Dry, HEPA-filtered (High

Efficiency Particulate Air) air is circulated to reduce humidity
to a predetermined level in the 10-60% relative humidity
range. This permits the necessary target Vaprox H2O2
vapor concentration to be maintained below saturation (dew
point) levels during the Condition and Biodecontamination
phases. The internal HEPA filter prevents contamination of
internal machine components.

NOTE: Time to reach targeted humidity corresponds with the
initial humidity, temperature and volume of wash chamber.

b. Condition Phase: Flow of dry, HEPA-filtered air continues

while Vaprox vapor is injected into the air stream just before
it leaves the unit. The Vaprox sterilant injection rate is
controllable in the 2.0 to 12.0 grams per minute range.
Condition time is affected by sterilant injection rate, wash
chamber contents and temperature.

c. Biodecontamination Phase: Target VHP antimicrobial

concentration is maintained for a specific period of time
throughout wash chamber. Refer to Vaprox label and
package insert for more information.

d. Aeration Phase: Vaprox H2O2 vapor injection is stopped

and:

• VHP

adjustment of programmed cycles and creation of new cycles. Using
this feature, cycles may be customized to process different types of
loads.

The washer is preprogrammed with five basic cycles: RODENTS,
BOTTLES, RABBITS, PRIMATES and FAST. These cycles are pro­grammed with default treatments and treatment values.

Control is also capable of storing parameters for up to six custom
cycles. In addition to these eleven programmable cycles, there is a
VHP cycle (option) used for biodecontamination purposes. There is
also a DESCALER preprogrammed cycle that cannot be modified,
used for maintenance purposes.
