USE OF THE MANUAL This manual is for the DSD EDGE™ Automated Endoscope Reprocessor. The manual describes the features of the reprocessor, how to operate the reprocessor, and how to perform general maintenance to keep the reprocessor in good operating order. Throughout the manual are notes, service notes, cautions, and warnings.
INDICATIONS FOR USE DSD EDGE™ Reprocessor tests, washes, disinfects and rinses flexible endoscopes, such as fiberoptic and video endoscopes, between patient uses. The DSD EDGE Reprocessor is indicated to provide high-level disinfection, using RAPICIDE™ PA High-Level Disinfectant, of heat-sensitive semi-critical endoscopes. Manual cleaning of endoscopes is required prior to placement in the DSD EDGE Reprocessor.
MOVING THE REPROCESSOR Before moving the DSD EDGE™ Reprocessor, ensure the electrical cord, drain line and water supply line are either disconnected or are appropriate lengths to accommodate the relocation of the machine. Failure to do so may result in damage to the machine. Before moving, the leveling feet must be raised to place the unit on the wheels.
INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE Proper maintenance will ensure effective disinfection and prolong the life of the reprocessor: • The disinfectant immersion period (contact time) is fixed at five (5) minutes. • All pressure regulators are factory-preset. Do not adjust the settings. Contact your Technical Support representative for assistance.
CHEMICALS The DSD EDGE™ Reprocessor is intended for use with RAPICIDE™ PA High-Level Disinfectant to reprocess endoscopes. Refer to the American National Standard recommended practice titled, Chemical Sterilants and High Level Disinfectants: A Guide to Selection and Use (AAMI TIR7:1999) and/or Safe Handling and Biological Decontamination of Reusable Medical Devices in Health Care Facilities and in Nonclinical Settings (AAMI/ANSI ST35:2003).
DETERGENT SOLUTION If the user decides to utilize the AER pre-wash function in the reprocessing cycle, Medivators recommends the use of a detergent solution that has bacteriostatic properties to inhibit bacterial growth in the detergent reservoir and detergent line. The detergent should be low foaming, free-rinsing and neutral in pH. Note: Medivators recommends the use of INTERCEPT™...
MONITORING PERACETIC ACID LEVEL IN DISINFECTANT The RAPICIDE™ PA High-Level Disinfectant (HLD) Peracetic Acid (PA) concentration should be tested after each disinfection cycle. The RAPICIDE™ PA High-Level Disinfectant Test Strips are intended for use with RAPICIDE PA High-Level Disinfectant. The use of a chemical indicator after the disinfection cycle ensures that the RAPICIDE PA High-Level Disinfectant Solution is above the minimum recommended concentration (MRC) of 850ppm peracetic acid.
CLEANING AND DISINFECTING Always follow established professional guidelines while cleaning and disinfecting endoscopes. The following organizations have published recommended guidelines.

C H A P T E R 3 DISINFECTION CYCLE OVERVIEW The DSD EDGE™ Reprocessor reprocessing cycle is comprised of a number of phases designed to ensure proper endoscope disinfection. This section provides a general overview of the cycle phases.
Note: Some settings can be adjusted to create a custom program. For more information, see ‘Create a Custom Cycle Program’ under the Additional Operation Functions chapter. Note: An air purge occurs each time endoscope channels are flushed. During an air purge, air is flushed through the endoscope channels and internal fluid lines.
REPROCESSING CYCLE • If monitored sensors are not satisfied during startup, the cycle is halted until the issue is resolved or cycle is cancelled. STARTUP Automated Leak Tester (Optional). If enabled, a 40 second leak test is • performed before starting the Flush phase. •...
Page 26
REPROCESSING CYCLE • Basin is completely filled with fresh water as scope channels are flushed with fresh water. RINSE 2 (Optional) • Basin is drained while the channels are purged with fresh water. • Concludes by purging scope channels with air. •...
C H A P T E R 4 DAILY STARTUP This chapter covers procedures that should be performed at the beginning of each day to properly inspect and prepare the reprocessor for operation: • Check System Time • Check Pre-Filters •...
Note: The personnel responsible for these tasks varies by location. Verify your location’s policies and procedures before performing any of the tasks in this chapter. Note: When performing maintenance activities on the DSD EDGE™ Reprocessor, ensure there is adequate ambient illumination to prevent against hazards during maintenance. CHECK SYSTEM TIME 1.
CHECK ALCOHOL AND DETERGENT LEVELS Note: This procedure is applicable if alcohol or detergent are utilized. Caution! For the alcohol and detergent bottles; remove, refill and replace each bottle (alcohol and detergent) separately to ensure the correct fluid is in the reservoir. Note: Allow 1 inch of space at the top of the detergent and alcohol reservoirs to accommodate the reservoir sensors.
CHECK DISINFECTANT CONTAINERS Disinfectant is supplied in two separate 5-liter containers. Part A is the Peracetic Acid component, Part B is the buffer. Both containers fit into the disinfectant drawer located on the left-hand side of the reprocessor. Warning! Avoid possible chemical burns. Always wear personal protective equipment (gloves, goggles) when handling disinfectant.
Page 31
2. Check the expiration date of Part A and Part B. If either dates are in the past, replace both containers. 3. To load new containers, do the following: a. Place the Part B container in the drawer. b. Remove the bottle cap. c.
d. Place the Part A container in the drawer. e. Remove the bottle cap. Insert the Part A Uptake Tube (blue cap) and fully secure to the container. g. Close the disinfectant drawer ensuring that the tubing is not restricted. Figure 4.6 - Part A Uptake Tube (blue cap) CHECK INCOMING DYNAMIC WATER PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE...

On the control panel, press SETUP. Type 41 on the keypad, then press ENTER. “Water temp test?” displays on the LCD screen. Press ENTER to initiate water flow. As water flows into the basin, verify the dynamic water pressure. Dynamic water pressure at the inlet to the reprocessor must be 35-40 psi (2.4-2.75 BAR).
CHECK THE LEAK TEST CONNECTOR O-RINGS Caution! Lubrication should be applied to the O-rings on a weekly basis. Lubrication will reduce O-ring wear and allow a better seal. Note: This procedure is applicable if the automated Leak Test function is enabled. Inspect the leak test connector O-rings to determine if lubrication is required.
C H A P T E R 5 OPERATION This chapter provides instructions for daily operation of the reprocessor, including: • Preparing the endoscope for disinfecting and loading the endoscope into the reprocessor basin • Starting the disinfection cycle • Manually interrupting a cycle if necessary •...
