Instructions for your G 7827/28 or PG 8527/28 Washer-disinfector carefully. You
should only process medical products in this module if they have been declared
as suitable for machine processing by the manufacturer. Please also observe
the manufacturer's care instructions. The programme selected must be suitable
for the materials from which the medical products to be processed are made.
Where possible, the programme should include thermal disinfection. The final
rinse should, if possible, always be carried out with fully de-mineralised water.
If using automatic mobile unit recognition please make sure that the coding is
correctly set.

Areas of application:

Module E 948 can be placed in both levels of the E 941 mobile unit. The E 941
mobile unit is supplied with its own operating instructions.

In the lower level, cleaning is particularly intensive because of the mechanical
wash effect of the machine spray arm from below and the spray of the module from
above. We recommend that the lower level is used for instruments which have
stringent cleaning requirements.

Module E 948 module can be used to machine process orthopaedic surgical
instruments, which have a surface structure which is difficult to clean or which are
taller than 6 cm. These include, for example, osteotomes, rasps, holders, frames,
muscle and tissue protectors, insertion and removal instruments, retractors and
large retractors.

The instruments should be placed in a DIN mesh tray underneath the jets of the
module. Load dimensions for mesh tray: H 125, W 520, D 290 mm.

Before loading the machine and before starting a programme, please check
that:

– the module is correcly connected to the water intake in the mobile unit.

For validation purposes please make sure that you follow the loading
instructions given on the template.

Before processing hollow intruments, they must be checked to ascertain

,

that the cleaning solution can pass through them.

Where the cleaning performance is insufficient when instruments with bone or
bone marrow deposits are being processed, depending on the chemical agent
used, additional pre-treatment, e.g. ultrasound should be carried out, if
necessary. It is particlarly important to validate the cleaning result of hollow
instruments (Test Kit).

Loading the mesh tray

^

Arrange the instruments in the mesh tray so that they do not cover each other.

To ensure that the jets can distribute the cleaning solution evenly, the load height
of 125 mm must not be exceeded.

Tray insert E 955

Hollow instruments with an internal diameter of more than 3 mm and up to 125 mm
long can be placed in the tray insert.

Such instruments include, Jacobs chucks, drill bushes, guide sleeves, handles
and adapters.

The compartments of the tray insert
have different diameters.

^

Place the instruments in a segment
which is appropriate to the external
diameter.

Instruments with ends which differ in
diameter should be placed with the
wider end facing upwards.

^

Place the loaded tray insert in
module E 948.

To make best use of the capacity of
the module, the tray insert can be
placed in a partially loaded mesh
dish.

^

Place the loaded tray underneath the jets of the module.

Module for orthopaedic surgical instruments E 948

Some suggested uses:

Mobile unit E 941 with three E 948 modules and one E 949 module

Mobile unit E 941 with two E 948 modules, one E 949 module and one E 945
frame

Frame E 945 is fitted with a mesh tray with special motor system manufacturers'
holders.
These holders have to be protected from spray and this is ensured by the
reduced mechanical action in the upper level of the mobile unit.

Motor systems

Motor systems which have been declared as suitable for machine processing by
the manufacturer can be placed in frame E 945 in the upper level of mobile unit
E 941.

If the washer-disinfector is being operated in conjunction with a conveyor belt,
it is essential to place frame E 945 in the upper level of mobile unit E 941.
Otherwise the mobile unit will not be able to be pulled out of the washer­disinfector.

Motor systems must be processed in mesh trays using the manufacturer's special
holders.
The holders prevent the cleaning solution from getting into the motor systems.

Place the mesh tray containing the motor systems on the frame.
