4. Installation Instructions

Connecting the water inlet hoses:

Connect the hot and cold water inlet hoses to the hot and cold water supply.

Drain requirements:

Connect the drain hose to the drain outlet. The drain hose can be attached to existing drain
lines using a 3.5 cm / 1.5” or larger standpipe / P-trap combination. If the hose is connected
directly to the drain line, ttings and adapters should not reduce water ow. The drain hose
should be attached to the main drain at a point no more than 1 metre /3 ft. above the base of
the HYDRIM. A oor drain is acceptable (check local codes).

Electrical requirements:

Connect the electrical cord to the power supply. The HYDRIM must have a dedicated circuit
equipped with a 15A fuse. The outlet must be grounded.

Additional Information:

• The HYDRIM unit is heavy. Use a forklift or dolly and exercise caution when moving it.

• The HYDRIM should be serviced on site.

• The HYDRIM is equipped with an air gap / anti-suction device to prevent backow of dirty

water into the water supply. No other air gap device is necessary.

• If you need to extend the water inlet and drain hoses, ensure that you use commercial grade
plumbing hose.

• The maximum length of the drain hose is 3.3 m / 13 ft.

Installing the water softener salt:

Unscrew the salt container lid and pour 1 litre / 1 quart of water into
the water softener. Add 1 kg / 2.2 lbs of water softening salt in the
same manner. Screw the salt container cap on tightly.

Handling and installing the HIP™ cleaning solution

The HIP™ cleaning solution is used in dilute form as a detergent for the cleaning
of surgical instruments in the HYDRIM range of washers and washer disinfectors. It is a
colourless and almost odourless liquid which is completely soluble in water.

The pH range of the concentrated solution is between 9.3 to 9.8 and the solution is
therefore alkaline. It is therefore advised that certain precautionary measures are observed
when handling and during the loading of the solution into the machine, and when removing
and disposing of the empty box.

5

4. Installation Instructions

Recommended precautionary measures with regard to safe handling of HIP™ cleaning solution.

• Always wear undamaged gloves made of natural or butyl rubber, nitrile, or neoprene
(Surgical gloves are ideal).

• Always wear eye protection.

• Protect exposed skin on arms.

• If solution is spilled on clothing, remove the item of clothing and wash affected skin
with plenty of water, in accordance with the Material Safety Data Sheet requirements.

• Use good industrial hygiene practices in handling this material. When handling,
do not eat or drink.

• After handling the product, remove and dispose of gloves and wash hands prior to
removing eye protection.

• Do not use the personal protective equipment you use for clinical activities to handle
HIP™ products.

• Always ensure that personal protective equipment, if contaminated with HIP™
cleaning solution, is cleaned, or disposed of as appropriate.

4. Installation Instructions

Water quality

The quality of the water being used in the HYDRIM to clean the instruments is very critical
to achieving satisfactory cleaning results and to protecting the instruments and the internal
parts of the unit from deterioration.

Drinking water typically contains many dissolved solids. The amount of dissolved solids
greatly depends on the local natural geological conditions and they can cause stains, spots
and corrosion on instruments and on the internal parts of the HYDRIM. Among others, Iron,
Manganese, Chloride, and Calcium Carbonate (CaCO
that affect the cleaning results when using a washer.

Iron and Manganese can cause orange and brown or black stains on the instruments and
on the internal parts of the HYDRIM. Chloride is usually responsible for causing stains,
spotting, pitting and scaling. If the instruments or the inner parts of the HYDRIM L110w G4,
such as the chamber, show any of these spots or stains, a water test may be required to
determine the cause. The installation of a water treatment system may be required to
reduce the amount of dissolved solids in the water and to improve the cleaning
performance of the HYDRIM.

) are the dominant dissolved solids

3

Calcium Carbonate is the principle cause of water hardness and leaves white spots or
scales. The HYDRIM is equipped with a built-in water softening system that must be
adjusted according to the local water hardness. Please see the next section of this manual
for recommended regeneration settings.

Before using the HYDRIM, SciCan recommends testing the water and recording
the results for water hardness, pH value, and water conductivity for future reference.

IMPORTANT: The HYDRIM's water softening system reduces the water hardness by
taking out Calcium Carbonate. If your water testing results show that your water hardness
is outside the unit's range of adjustment, or if other dissolved solids in the water cause
stains or deposits on the instruments or chamber, an external water treatment system may
be required.

1. The water test kit included with your

HYDRIM contains three water
hardness test strips in bags. Take a
water sample from the location where
the machine will be installed.

2. Open one of the bags, remove the

test strip and dip it into the water.

3. Compare the color of the strip with

the chart on the back of the bag
Determine the water hardness according
to the chart on the water test kit envelope.

4. Power the unit on and select the

Settings key from the main menu.

5. Go to the Setup Menu and select

“Set Regeneration”.

6. Using the up and down arrows, set the

water softener regeneration level
according to the water hardness table
in this section. If your water hardness
falls between two settings, select the
higher setting.

7. Unscrew the water softener container

lid from the bottom right of the chamber
and pour at least 1.0 litres (0.26 gal) of water
into the water softener container. Then fill the

5. Instructions for Use

5.1 Instrument Reprocessing Recommendations

The HYDRIM L110w G4 is designed to clean general dental and medical instruments.

Terminal sterilization MUST follow processing in the HYDRIM L110w G4.

Prior to placing instruments in the HYDRIM, consult the instrument manufacturer’s reprocessing
instructions.

Examples of medical and dental instruments suitable for cleaning in the HYDRIM L110w G4
include:

• Stainless steel scalers, spatulas and hemostats.

• Stainless steel retractors, needle holders, skin hooks, tissue forceps, scissors, curettes, and
other stainless steel instruments free of deep cavities.

For best results, instruments processed in the HYDRIM L110w G4 should
have the following properties:

• Heat resistance to a temperature of up to 70°C / 158°F

• Corrosion resistance in the presence of heat and alkalinity.

Burs, microkeratomes, phaco tubing, beroptics and electrical equipment should not be processed
in the HYDRIM.

Nickel-plated instruments, or instruments containing aluminum or colour anodized aluminum
as well as single use instruments are not suited for processing in the HYDRIM.

HIP™ (HYDRIM Cleaning Solution with Instrument Protection) has been carefully formulated to
provide outstanding material compatibility with a wide range of metals and coatings. However,
some manufacturers’ instruments or instrument coatings may not be compatible.

Please consult the instrument manufacturer for their recommended cleaning procedures.
In general, it is not recommended to process carbon steel and chrome plated instruments
in the HYDRIM.

All hinged instruments should be placed in open position in open baskets or in the hinged
instrument rack (SciCan part number 01-110409S) in P3 Heavy-Duty cycle.

When processing small or light objects in the HYDRIM use the basket with lid (SciCan part number
01-109966S).

Only the outer surfaces of dental handpieces can be cleaned in the HYDRIM L110w G4 with
the handpiece holder (9 handpieces, PN 01-113113S or 21 Handpieces, PN 01-113112S).

Set-able materials, such as cements, amalgam, and composites need to be removed from the
instruments after use at chairside. The HYDRIM will not be able to clean them off the instruments.

5.3 Hints and tips for best cleaning results

Remove all cement, composite material and amalgam from instruments at chairside prior to
processing in the Hydrim.

• Use only accessories, such as baskets, cassettes, trolleys and racks to hold instruments
that are designed for the HYDRIM L110w G4.

• Use accessories for their intended purpose only. For example, do not place hinged
instruments in cassettes. Use the hinged instrument rack instead.

• Disassemble instruments if possible.

• Do not overlap instruments. Each instrument must be kept separate.

• All instruments must be placed in the instrument washer in such a way as to allow good
rinsing of all surfaces. Any surface that is shielded from water and detergent cannot
be cleaned.

• Open hinged instruments widely when placed in baskets or hinged instrument rack
(PN 01-110409S). Closed hinged instruments cannot be cleaned.

• Place suction tubes in the rack for vertical instruments and ensure that water can flow
unrestricted in and out of the tubes. Do not place suction tubes horizontally in a basket
or in a cassette. For instruments containing lumens, such as dental handpieces, only the
external surfaces are cleaned.

• Place trays and other concave shaped items at an angle to ensure water can run off
surfaces easily.

• Do not overload the HYDRIM.

• Verify the Hydrim setup:

– Ensure that the washer spray arms are free of any blockage and can rotate freely.
– Ensure that the mesh filters in the chamber drain are free from debris.

• To achieve best cleaning results, instruments should be processed in the HYDRIM as
soon as possible. If immediate cleaning is not possible, it is recommended to process
the instruments using the P1 Rinse and Hold program immediately after use on
the patient.

• Visually inspect instruments for cleanliness and integrity (corrosion, material changes)
after cleaning and repair or replace instruments if necessary.

• If process enforced is activated, the operator must confirm that the instruments are
visually clean after a complete cycle is finished.

5.23 Connecting to a network

The HYDRIM L110w G4 has a 10/100Base-T Ethernet port located at the back of the unit.
To connect your HYDRIM to a network using a router, follow these steps:

1. Connect your network cable to the Ethernet port at the back of the unit. If your offi ce
uses a router, the router should automatically assign the unit an IP address. A red X on the
network icon means the unit is not connected. A yellow check mark means the unit has
an IP address but is not connected to the Internet and cannot send emails. A green check
mark means the Internet connection is set up properly and the unit can send out emails.

NOTE: In some circumstances, where you do not have a router, for example when using
Windows Network Sharing, you may have to assign a dedicated or ‘static’ IP address.
To assign a static IP address, contact your local network administrator.

2. From the main screen, press the Network icon. The Network screen displays information
about your HYDRIM’s connectivity, including its IP address.

3. Type the IP address displayed on the touchscreen into the browser of any web enabled
device to access your unit’s web portal. When the Network icon is active (for example when
sending email) it will turn green.

NOTE: Use QR code if connecting to a mobile device.

NOTE: Connection time will vary depending on your network speed, and making an initial

connection can take longer.

In Canada and USA you can call our network support line at 1-800-635-5179 for additonal networking support.

5.24 Connecting to a wireless network

The HYDRIM can be confi gured for wireless use by connecting the Ethernet port to an
external wireless bridge / access point. SciCan currently recommends the use of the
