Positioning the goods

NOTE:
All vessels must be thoroughly emptied before they are loaded into the machine.

Use inserts and special inserts correctly and only for the items and utensils that are •

to be washed.

Make sure that the water jets reach all surfaces of the goods. Any surfaces that are •
covered will not be completely clean.
Do not block the spray arm.•
Make sure that the strainers in the machine are clean and that water can ow •
through them. It is important to clean and check the strainers regularly.
Empty all vessels to be washed before they are placed in the machine.•
Position sharp and pointed utensils in such a way that they cannot cause injury or •

damage during loading and unloading.

Make sure that utensils are not lying on top of each other, preventing water from •

reaching all surfaces.

Position vessels with their openings downwards in the correct inserts. Water must •
be able to ow freely into and out of the vessels.
Goods with a convex bottom must be positioned on a tilt so that water does not •
collect in the convex surface.

Anodised aluminium and nickel-plated instruments are not suitable for washing in •
a washer disinfector.
Rigid endoscopes must be dismantled in accordance with the manufacturer’s •
instructions before washing.

Open all valves and remove covers and seals so that the channels can be thoroughly •
ushed out to achieve the desired cleaning result.
Optics and light guides must be approved by the manufacturer for thermal •

disinfection .

Working with detergents etc

Empty out all residue of acid, especially hydrochloric acid, solvents and chloride­containing solvents from the vessels before placing them in the machine.

Pre-treatment with detergent or disinfectant and certain types of dirt may •
result in increased lather formation. The lather may affect the washing and

disinfection result .

Follow carefully the manufacturer’s instructions for detergents and special products. •
To avoid chemical reactions (eg oxy-hydrogen gas) and damage to materials, the
detergent must only be used for the purpose stated by the manufacturer.
Handle liquid agents (for cleaning, rinsing, disinfection and neutralizing) with care. •

The substances often consist of acids or caustic solutions.

Do not add organic solvents as this may result in an explosion. Use safety
glasses and protective gloves when handling these substances. Always follow the
manufacturer’s safety instructions when handling chemical agents.

Do not use domestic dishwasher detergent.•
Follow the dosing instructions of the detergent manufacturer. Different detergents •

may have different cleaning effects. If cleaning results are not satisfactory, try
changing to a detergent of a different quality before contacting Getinge.

<Doc_USR><Doc_5025919000><Rel_A><Lang_EN>

Page 12 of 24

Remove and clean the strainer in the bottom of the washing chamber. A dirty •
coarse strainer may prevent water from circulating and create the conditions for the

growth of bacteria.

The heating coils under the coarse strainer may be hot.

If necessary for cleaning, open the strainer with the two nuts.•

Open the detergent access panel and check that there is detergent/rinse-aid in the •
containers and the hoses.

Check that the trolley docks properly with the water connections. If the wash •
trolley does not dock properly, adjust the spring.
Check the accessories of the machine visually with regard to their intended use and •
function. For example, blocked channels, worn and missing parts that might affect
the performance of the machine. Water must be able to ow freely through the

ducts in hollow instruments.
Check the cleaning instructions of the goods manufacturer. •

To achieve the intended level of performance and safety, distribute the load evenly •
over the washing surface.
Check the cleaning result visually when the process is complete.•
Check that the dockings move easily.•
The spray arm journal must be checked daily and replaced every ve years.•

Daily inspection

Check that no objects have fallen down into the bottom of the washing chamber. •
Loose objects may cause blockages and seriously reduce the performance of the

washer disinfector.

Check that the spray arms can rotate freely. Check that the holes in the washing •
arms are not blocked. Blocked spray holes may adversely affect the cleaning result.
Check that the goods to be cleaned are retained in the insert.•
If the arms need cleaning, remove them by unscrewing the central nut. The arms can then •
be lifted off and washed clean. Check that the arm can rotate freely when re-installed.

Do not allow deposits to form in the wash chamber. Remove any deposits as follows:

Open the door and dispense 200 ml NEODISHER BU descaler (sold by •

Dr. Weigert) into the washing chamber.
Close the door and run the descaling program. •

NOTE: There must not be any items in the machine with this program. It is only used to
descale the machine and insert.

The outside

The front and side walls can be cleaned and disinfected with an alcohol-based cleaning

agent, medical spirit or an ordinary cleaner. The control panel can be cleaned in the same
way. To remove stains, use ordinary stainless steel cleaner.
If the washer disinfector is used without automatic descaling for incoming water, the
heating element must be checked regularly for limescale deposits.
It is important to maintain a good level of hygiene around the machine.

Water quality – Washer disinfectors

The quality of the water used in all stages of cleaning is important for good results.

The water used in each stage must be compatible with:

* The material that the washer disinfector is made of
* The chemicals used in the process

* Process requirements for the various stages of the process

The main factors for good water quality are:

Hardness High hardness will cause limescale deposits in the washer disinfector, lead-

ing to poor cleaning results.

Ionic contaminants A high concentration of ionic contaminants may cause corrosion and pitting

on stainless steel. Heavy metals such as iron, manganese or copper cause
instruments to tarnish.

Microbial contaminants The water used should not increase the biological load on the equipment

that is being treated against micro-organisms and their residual products
which may cause fever-like symptoms when they get into the human body.

Sanitary chemicals High concentrations of and high exposure to sanitary chemicals may cause

corrosion and pitting on stainless steel.

Getinge Disinfection AB therefore recommends that water used in the pre-rinsing,
washing and nal rinsing phases should be of drinkable quality in accordance with

the guidelines .

Detailed information about acceptable water quality can be found in “Guidelines for
Drinking Water Quality, 3rd Edition” published by WHO.

Getinge Disinfection AB also recommends following local standards. RO (reverse­osmosis) water (or similarly treated water) is used for the nal washing/disinfection
phase. A typical specication for RO water is:

pH 5.5 till 8
Conductivity <30 µs.cm

-1

TDS <40 mg/l

Maximum hardness <50 mg/l

Chlorine <10 mg/l

Heavy metals <10 mg/l

Phosphates <0.2 mg/l as P2O

5

Silicates <0.2 mg/l som SiO

2

Endotoxins <0.25 EU/ml

Total number of micro-organisms <100 per 100 ml

Further advice should also be obtained from the manufacturers of chemical and

medical equipment.

Where local standards are stricter than Getinge Disinfection AB’s recommendations,
they should be followed. Note that it is the customer’s responsibility to supply the

washer disinfector with suitable water.

Handling of worn-out washer/flusher disinfectors

Worn-out electrical and electronic machines consist of recyclable materials.
However, they also contain materials that are harmful but necessary in order for the
machines to function in a proper and secure way. If these materials are placed among the
domestic waste or handled in the wrong way, it could lead to health hazards or damage
to the environment.

The machine might be contaminated. This means it must be disinfected before it can be

recycled.

Therefore you should never, not under any circumstances, place the worn-out washer/
usher disinfector among the domestic waste.
Instead, take worn-out electrical and electronic machines to a recycling plant.

Ask your reseller if required.
Make sure the worn-out washer/usher disinfector is kept out of reach of children before
it is taken away for recycling.
All plastic parts of the washer/ usher disinfector have international markings on them.
Therefore it is possible to recycle the parts of the washer/ usher disinfector in an envi­ronmentally friendly way by means of proper waste sorting.
