Steris VHP MD140X Manual

APPLICATION
The VHP MD140X Biodecontamination Unit is designed for the
application of Vaprox ® 59 Hydrogen Peroxide Sterilant to
properly prepared (cleaned, rinsed and dried) reusable metal
and nonmetal instruments 1 using STERIS's VHP process
technology, vacuum conditions and Vaprox 59 Hydrogen
Peroxide Sterilant . The low temperature Biodecontamination
2
Cycles are suitable for biodecontaminating instruments
sensitive to heat and moisture.

Not for use to reprocess reusable instruments for human use.

When using VHP MD140X Biodecontamination Units with Vaprox 59 Hydrogen
Peroxide Sterilant in the United States of America (USA), the term
biodecontamination referred to in this document is defined as sterilization of
exposed porous and non-porous surfaces of precleaned, dry, instruments and
reusable instruments for non-human use. Any reference to biodecontamination
as it relates to the use of this equipment in the USA does not impart additional
claims of effectiveness beyond that approved in the USA Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) registered labeling of Vaprox 59 Hydrogen Peroxide
Sterilant (EPA Reg. No. 1043-123).
DESCRIPTION
The VHP MD140X Biodecontamination Unit uses STERIS's
patented VHP process technology. The biodecontamination
process is fully automated, is compatible with a broad range of
materials and has rapid Biodecontamination Cycle times. There
are no toxic by-products created by the Biodecontamination
Cycle – only water vapor and oxygen are produced.
The VHP MD140X Biodecontamination Unit performs three
programmed Biodecontamination Cycles:
• Lumen Cycle (approximately 55 minutes to complete)
• Non Lumen Cycle (approximately 28 minutes to complete)
• Flexible Cycle (approximately 35 minutes to complete)
This biodecontamination unit using the Lumen Cycle can
biodecontaminate the following:
3
1. Rigid instruments, with diffusion-restricted spaces such
as the hinged portion of forceps and scissors.
2. Single, dual and triple channeled rigid instruments, with
the following configurations:
• Single channeled instruments with a stainless lumen that
is ≥ 0.77 mm (~1/32") internal diameter (ID) and
≤ 500 mm (19-11/16") in length
• Dual channeled instruments with stainless lumens that
are ≥ 0.77 mm (~1/32") ID and ≤ 527 mm (20-3/4") in
length
3
Validation testing was conducted for all lumen sizes using a maximum of 20
lumens per load. Loads should not exceed this validated number of lumens.
Validation studies conducted using validation load of two instrument trays and
two pouches for a total weight of 19.65 lb (9.0 kg)

(Typical only - some details may vary.)
• Triple channeled instruments with stainless lumens that
are either:
» ≥ 1.2 mm (~3/64") ID and ≤ 310 mm (12-13/64") in length
OR
» ≥ 2.8 mm (~7/64") ID and ≤ 317 mm (12-31/64") in length
This biodecontamination unit using the Non Lumen Cycle can
biodecontaminate non-lumened instruments (both non-lumened
4
rigid and those with stainless-steel diffusion-restricted areas such
as the hinged portion of forceps or scissors).
