Areas of application:

The E 429 mobile injector unit is designed for the cleaning and disinfecting of
ophthalmic instruments.

The bottom spray arm in the washer-disinfector has be to be replaced by a special
adapter in order to supply water to the mobile injector unit. See over for instruc
tions on how to fit this adapter.

In order to connect the E 429 mobile unit into a G 7835, G 7892, G 7882 or

,

G 7882 CD washer-disinfector, the dispensing pipes into the wash cabinet need
to be replaced by 3 mm C pipes, using a conversion kit if necessary. This work
should be carried out by a Miele authorised service technician.

-

The top level is fitted with various connections for hollow instruments, e.g. rinsing
and suction hand pieces, and cannulae.

Instruments are secured to the hose connectors in the mobile injector unit using
the silicone holders and connectors in the rack.

The instruments should not be able to come into contact with one another

,

during the cleaning and disinfecting process.
Before connecting a hollow instrument please make sure that all hollow sections
are free of blockages. Otherwise the cleaning solution will not be able to access
all areas properly.

The lower level of the mobile injector unit is designed to take E 441/1 inserts or
E 142 mesh trays for processing solid instruments. See over page for instructions
on loading an E 142 mesh tray.

,

Opthalmic instruments should only be processed in a machine designated
for their sole use. This way there is no risk of residues from other disciplines
getting into the narrow lumen of hollow instruments.
Under no circumstances must cover nets A2 or A3 be used in this mobile unit.

^

Any residual water left in hollow in
struments must be forced out using
pressurised filtered air.
This also makes sure that there are
no blockages in hollow sections after
processing.

^

At the same time, the pH value of
displaced water can be checked
using litmus paper (ß 0.5 grade)

-

^

Cannulae with Luer lock connectors
should be screwed into the appro
priate Luer lock adapters on the top
level of the injector unit.

^

Connect cannulae with Luer connec
tors to the Luer lock adapter on the
injector unit using a connecting
piece, e.g. Luer lock ] / Luer \.

^

Long hollow instruments should be
screwed to the flexible hose connec
tors using Luer lock adapters \.

^

When processing hollow instruments

-

with several connectors, such as rin
sing or suction hand pieces, each
connector needs to be secured to a
hose.

^

Hollow instruments with a male con
nector should be connected to the
hose using a Luer lock ] / Luer lock ]
connector.

^

Fit hollow instruments securely into

-

-

-

the silicone holders on the rack in the
injector unit.

^

Space the silicone holders in the
rack according to the size of the
instruments.

^

Unscrew hollow instruments after
cleaning.

,

Any hollow instruments that have
become disconnected from the
adapters during processing must be
reprocessed.

If the result is negative:

^

Remove the cause of any blockage
manually.

After that, even if the pH value is not
neutral:

^

Re-process hollow instruments.

If the pH value continues not to be
neutral, contact the Service Depart
ment to arrange for further analysis
of the problem.

E 142 mesh tray for opthalmic instruments

The instruments should not be able to move around during the cleaning and
disinfecting process.

Light, delicate non-hollow instruments can be secured in position in the E 142

^

mesh tray using silicone holders and connectors.

To ensure that all surfaces are cleaned and rinsed thoroughly:
^ Hinged instruments, e.g. scissors, clamps and forceps should be opened up and

then placed in the tray.

^ Diamond knives must be opened up and then placed on the tray.

Fitting the adapter for the water feed:

Secure straight instruments in the silicone holders so that they cannot slip out

^

during processing.

The bottom spray arm in the washer-disinfector has
be to be replaced by a special adapter in order to
supply water to the mobile injector unit. To do this:

^

Loosen thumb nut A in the middle of the spray
arm.

^

Then take spray arm B off.

^

Unscrew spigot nut together with the spray arm
spindle C from feed pipe D.

^

Screw the adapter onto the feed pipe. The adapter is sprung and must connect correctly

with the water feed on the injector unit when it is pus
hed into the cabinet.
It needs to be set 4 to 5 mm higher than the water
feed on the mobile injector unit.

To align the height of the adapter:

^

Loosen the upper part of the adapter.

^

The push the adapter upwards or downwards to
set the height.

^

Then tighten up the upper part of the adapter.

,

The adapter should be checked on a regular

basis to make sure it is correctly set.
