Intended Use - Miele G 7883 Operating Instructions Manual

Intended use

This lab washer can be used to clean,
rinse, disinfect (thermally and
chemically) and dry a wide range of
laboratory glassware and utensils.
Follow the laboratory equipment
manufacturer's instructions on how to
process their items by machine.
Examples of application areas:
– laboratory glassware and utensils
used in research and development,
– laboratory glassware and utensils
used in areas of analysis and
specimen taking,
– laboratory glassware and utensils
used in micro-biology and
biotechnology.
The type of laboratory glassware and
utensils which can be processed are
e.g. beakers, bottles, centrifuge tubes,
Erlenmeyer flasks, funnels, measuring
cylinders, pipettes, Petri dishes and
round bottom flasks.
Processing laboratory glassware and
utensils by machine achieves
reproducible results, and should be
used in preference to processing them
by hand.
For the protection of personnel,
disinfection should be carried out
thermally, e.g. using the varioTD
programme.
National health and safety regulations
regarding disinfection must also be
observed.
10
The cleaning programme as well as any
chemical agents must be chosen
according to the type of soiling and
load being processed.
The agents used for processing the
products should be selected according
to the level of cleaning required as well
as the method of analysis used.
The use of a suitable carrier (mobile
unit, module, insert etc.) is important to
ensure the adequate cleaning of
laboratory glassware and utensils.
Examples are given in the section
"Areas of application".
The lab washer is programmed to carry
out the final rinse with mains water or
with processed water of a quality to suit
the application (e.g. purified water,
de-ionised water, demineralised water).
The water quality is of particular
importance for applications requiring
analytically clean laboratory equipment.
