Unit 1 Twyford Industrial Estate
Twyford Road
Bishop’s Stortford
Hertfordshire CM23 3LJ
England
The Medisafe Sonic Irrigator PCF Pro is a
High-Pressure, Ultrasonic, Flushing Washer
Disinfector for the medical market. It is
intended to provide cleaning and low-level
thermal disinfection of surgical instruments,
including complex lumen/cannulated devices,
such as robotic surgical instruments.
This is achieved through a combination of
ultrasonics and a flushing action to remove
debris from both the outside and inside (hollow
instruments only) of items placed within the
wash tank.
Note: If the equipment is used in a manner not
specified by the manufacturer, the
effectiveness and protection provided by the
equipment may be impaired.
Performance
Washing is achieved using a unique, specially
formulated and clinically validated
decontamination fluid (EDA+ or 3E-Zyme®),
which is introduced into the machine during
the cycle.
This machine has a class AB weir incorporated
into the tank design to comply with most water
authority regulations.
A stringent quality control program ensures
that every unit is manufactured and tested
under controlled conditions to ensure that all
units perform identically.
Cycle Record
During the cycle, parameters are reported at
key stages of the process as an ASCII serial
data steam via the RS232 port. This can then
be logged either on a printer (see section 2-6-1
and 2-10) or on a PC (see section 2-11).
The on-board cycle log can be download via a
USB flash drive (see section 3-15).
Cycle Failure
The PCF Pro is designed to perform within
strict and carefully controlled tolerances. If an
unexpected condition occurs during a wash
cycle, the system will abort the cycle and
report an error, see section 3-9-10 for more
details.
Concept Summary
The PCF Pro has been designed as a standalone high pressure sonic irrigation washer
disinfector, with the ability to wash up to sixty
instruments and offer the option of a
disinfection stage at the end of the wash.
There are six pre-defined user selectable
programs with Pre-wash, Wash, Rinse and
Disinfection stages tailored to clean a
multitude of different loads.
The program parameters can also be changed
within specified limits by an engineer during
installation or service.
Load Instruments
The user loads the instruments into the basket
using the foot switch to raise and then lower
the electrically actuated Carrier Lift in an
automated sequence.
Prewash
The cycle begins with a cold-water fill to the
mid-level; the spray and irrigation valves are
opened alternately with the pump running for
the specified time. The water is then drained.
Wash
At the main wash stage, the tank is filled to the
top level with a cold and hot water mix to attain
a set temperature. Detergent is also added at
this point. To even out the temperature, fill all
cavities, and to mix the chemical thoroughly
the pump is pulsed on and off. Once the tank
is full the ultrasonics degas the tank by pulsing
on and off to remove any dissolved air. A
period of irrigation follows in order to flush any
material from inside the instruments. The
ultrasonics then alternate with irrigation for the
set period of time. The water is then drained.
Rinse
The tank is filled with water to the mid-level;
the machine will then alternate between the
spray and irrigation for the pre-defined period
of time. The water is then drained.
For some programs this stage is repeated.
Disinfection
If disinfection is required, the machine is then
filled to the minimum level with hot water and
heated up to the pre-set temperature (91°C / 196°F) for 3 minutes. The water is then
drained.
Cooling
To disperse the vapour in the chamber, the
machine opens the drain valve and runs cold
water down the back wall of the tank.
Drying
To clear the excess water from the irrigation
and spray channels, compressed air is
alternately injected at regular intervals.
Unload
The user presses the foot switch to open the
Carrier Lift and unload one level at a time in an
automated sequence.

Pre-wash
All water in the tank is drained. The machine
fills with cold water to the minimum level.
During filling for each stage, the spray and
irrigation valves are opened, and the pump is
operated at least once to ensure all voids are
filled.
The machine then washes for a set time,
alternating between spraying and flushing.
Wash
The tank is filled to the top level with a mix of
hot and cold water to attain the set
temperature. Once the water reaches the midlevel, a quantity of detergent is dispensed into
the tank. The pump is pulsed on and off to
even out the temperature, fill all cavities, and
to mix the chemical thoroughly.
Once the tank is full, if the temperature is
below the set point, the water heater will turn
on.
During flushing recirculated water is pumped
through the instruments.
Finally, all water in the tank is drained
When the set temperature is reached, the

Cycle Errors
If an unexpected condition occurs during a
wash cycle (i.e. low pump pressure, low water
temperature, see section 4-1 for a full list) the
system will abort the cycle and report an error.
When an error occurs during a
cycle the load may still be
contaminated, and will still require
processing. Check the printout to
see if the cycle completed before
the error, if it did not then repeat
the cycle to attempt to reprocess
the load. If the error persists use
another machine or alternative
cleaning and disinfection process
(according to facility procedure),
then contact a service engineer to
repair the machine.
If an error occurs:
• An audible alarm will sound
• The LED Edge will flash red (see
section 3-12)
Once the tank is drained, the machine will be
reset and return to the main menu.
Aborting a Cycle
While running a cycle in the PCF Pro, it may

Important safety information:
Always ensure mains power is disconnected.
Always adhere to the recommended safety
precautions for cleaning products in use.
It is recommended that Personal Protection
Equipment (PPE) be worn during
loading/unloading, and cleaning or
decontaminating the equipment. This must
include apron, gloves and eye-protection.
For cleaning internal and external surfaces, a
disinfectant cleaner such as Isopropyl Alcohol
or a household kitchen cleaner can be used,
provided it is marked as a DISINFECTANT
cleaner.
In the interests of health and safety, all
medical washers should be cleaned on a
weekly basis as part of a routine maintenance
program. This will ensure the machine is safe
for operators and maintenance personnel. To
keep your machine operating within its design
parameters the following checks must be
performed on a regular basis. Please note that
completion of these checks is not a substitute
for regular servicing and maintenance by a
suitably qualified engineer.
All maintenance procedures should be carried
out in a well-lit environment, recommended
minimum lighting level is 500Lux.
Before Every Cycle
1. Visually check that there is enough
chemical for the next wash.
Replenish as necessary.
2. Clean the wash tank filter:
Ensure the tank filter is correctly
replaced such that it is inserted flat
into the recess.
3. Check the wash chamber is free from
any debris or deposits.
4. Check the spray arms rotate.
5. Remove each basket and check the
spray arms for blockage:
Remove the spray arm by first
rotating counter clockwise and then

Decontamination Guide
Decontamination is defined as the cleaning and disinfection of the machine, and is vital to ensure the
machine is safe for operators and maintenance personnel.
Important safety information:
Always ensure mains power is disconnected.
Always adhere to the recommended safety
precautions for cleaning products in use.
Always work in a well-lit area, recommended
minimum lighting level is 500Lux.
It is recommended that Personal Protection
Equipment (PPE) be worn during
loading/unloading, and cleaning or
decontaminating the equipment. This must
include apron, gloves and eye-protection.
For cleaning internal and external surfaces, a
disinfectant cleaner such as Isopropyl Alcohol
or a household kitchen cleaner can be used,
provided it is marked as a DISINFECTANT
cleaner.
Daily Cleaning/ Procedure
Using a clean cloth or paper towel:
1. Wipe down all internal surfaces
above the waterline with your
disinfectant, including the inside of
the lid and around the seals.
2. Wipe all external surfaces, including
around the sides of the doors.
3. Remove any trace of cleaner from
internal and external surfaces with a
clean wet cloth.
4. Towel dry.
Note: By the nature of its operation, the
washer disinfector’s tank is immersed in water
during the cleaning/disinfection cycle.
Therefore, it should already be clean and
disinfected by the end of a cycle.
Full Decontamination
On a weekly basis:
1. Perform the daily cleaning procedure.
2. Fit luers to all basket ports to ensure
they are open.
3. Run Program 4 (see section 3-5 and
3-8).
If the machine has been idle for more than a
week:
1. Perform the daily cleaning procedure.
2. Fit luers to all basket ports to ensure
they are open.
3. To make a 5% disinfectant solution
place 1.9 litres (typically) of non-
foaming Sodium Hypochlorite based
disinfectant into a shallow heat
resistant container. Place the
container in the basket (this prevents it
from being drained at the start of the
cycle).
4. Select Program 4 (see section 3-5).
5. Start the cycle (see section 3-8).
6. 30 seconds before the Pre-wash stage
finishes, press to pause the cycle.
7. Wait 15 minutes then press Resume
to continue the cycle.
8. Allow the cycle to complete.
Pre Transport Procedure
In the unlikely event of a machine having to be
returned to Medisafe for any reason, the
following procedure must be carried out:
1. Drained and completely empty of fluid.
2. All external hoses removed.
3. Fully decontaminated prior to shipping,
(irrespective of when it was last cleaned).
4. Accompanied by the relevant signed
Decontamination Certificate (see
section 3-14-4).
Note: If due to the nature of any fault present, the
unit cannot be run prior to return, the tank/chamber
must be decontaminated by hand.
Note: Failure to carry out this procedure will incur
an additional charge for a full decontamination.

Fields strengths from fixed RF transmitters, as
determined by an electromagnetic site survey
(see Note a) should be less than the
compliance level in each frequency range (see
Note b)
Interference may occur in the vicinity of
equipment marked with the following symbol:
Note 1: At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
Note 2: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and
reflection from structures, objects and people.
mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with
accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey
should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the PCF Pro is used exceeds the
applicable RF compliance level above, the PCF Pro should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal
performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the PCF Pro.
Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.
