Installation and Maintenance

For complete system installation instructions and details, refer to the:
• CER OPTIMA Pre-site Installation Instructions
• CER OPTIMA Water Filtration Installation Instructions
• CER OPTIMA Installation Instructions
Upon installation, position the equipment so the power on/off switch is readily accessible by the operator.
Ensure compliance with the installation documents before operating the system.
• The reprocessor must be properly grounded.
• The disinfectant immersion period (contact time) is fixed in the CER OPTIMA's software, specific to
the high level disinfectant that is displayed on the screen at the start of the cycle.
• All pressure regulators are factory-preset. Do not adjust the settings. Contact Medivators Technical
Support for assistance.
• Do not use alcohol or alcohol-based products to clean the reprocessor cabinet.
• The hook-ups are not autoclavable and must be reprocessed by low temperature disinfection only.
• Replacement parts must be ordered from the manufacturer to maintain the warranty.
• Regularly inspect reprocessor for basin damage, pipe and tubing damage, which may result in leaks.
• Ensure CER OPTIMA unit is level prior to operation. Place a bubble level on the front and side edges of
the basin. Level the unit using the four (4) adjustable feet on the bottom of the reprocessor. To adjust the
level of the reprocessor, rotate the foot clockwise to raise up, or counterclockwise to lower the corner.
When the basin is full of liquid, the level of the liquid should be even around the top of the basin.
Proper maintenance will ensure effective disinfection and prolong the life of the reprocessor.

Water Quality and Filtration

Potable water is the minimum standard. Incoming water must be pre-filtered to a minimum of 1 micron. Use a
cold water line with a pressure of 40 to 60 PSI that will supply a flow rate of 2.5 to 3 GPM (9.4 LPM to 11.4
LPM) to the water filtration system. The cold water supply should not exceed 104°F (40°C).
• The high performance 0.2-micron absolute water filter included with the reprocessor is a bacterial-
retentive filter. This filter removes all microorganisms and particles greater than 0.2-micron.
Note: Prior to undertaking any service or maintenance operation, or when
resetting the GFI ensure that the CER OPTIMA
main power supply. If service or maintenance operations are to be conducted on
the water system, ensure that the CER OPTIMA system is isolated from the main
water supply.
Warning! The reprocessor must be protectively grounded.
