The Rinse program flushes the hydraulic system with water. A rinse
may be done between treatments and must be performed after a
Chemical/Dwell procedure to eliminate residual disinfectant.
The exterior surface of the machine should be wiped down using a
cloth and a disinfecting cleaner.
Bloodlines and transducer protectors should be removed and disposed
of in compliance with your unit's biohazard waste guidelines. If there
is evidence of contamination beyond the external transducer protector,
disinfect the associated parts and replace the internal transducer
protectors.
The Acid Clean button runs a program that flushes the machine with
white distilled vinegar, 5% acetic acid or 5% citric acid for 10-60
minutes to prevent the build up of bicarbonate precipitate in the
hydraulic system after a treatment. It is not a disinfecting procedure.
The Heat Disinfect button starts a program that disinfects the
hydraulic system using water heated to about 80 C. Heat Disinfect or
Chemical/Rinse is recommended daily when the machine is used for
treatment.
The Chemical / Rinse button runs a program that disinfects the
hydraulic system using a chemical disinfectant followed by an
immediate water rinse to clear the system of residual disinfectant. The
Chemical / Rinse program should be used when disinfecting with
corrosive chemicals, such as bleach, that could damage the hydraulic
components if left in contact for prolonged periods.
The Chemical / Dwell program is designed for disinfecting the
hydraulic system using a non-corrosive chemical disinfectant, such as
formaldehyde. This program is intended for use with chemicals that
are not harmful to the internal components after prolonged exposure
and, hence, do not require the system to be rinsed with water
immediately afterward.
The Acid & Heat Disin button (software version 2.38 or later) runs the
Acid Clean program (see previous page) followed by the Heat
Disinfection program (see previous page). The entire Acid & Heat
Disin program must be run in order to both clean and disinfect the
machine. This program is recommended daily on the days the
machine is used for treatment.
Clean and disinfect bicarbonate concentrate jugs and suction cap
wands per facility protocol.
