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.
•
Do not use alcohol or alcohol-based products to clean the reprocessor cabinet.
•
The hookups are not autoclavable and must be reprocessed by low-temperature disinfection only.
•
Replacement parts must be ordered from the manufacturer to maintain the warranty of the unit and/or part and
to ensure proper operation for reprocessing.
•
On a monthly basis (or if a leak is detected), inspect the reprocessor for basin damage or pipe and tubing
damage, which may result in leaks.
•
Only properly trained individuals may operate or service the reprocessor.
WATER QUALITY AND FILTRATION
Water supplied to the machine must be Potable with a dynamic pressure of 35-90 psi, minimum flow rate of 3.2
GPM and temperature of 95°F ± 4°F (35°C ± 2°C)
•
Ensure water hardness is less than 12gpg (200ppm) for optimal performance. Excessive water hardness may
void the warranty.
•
The high performance 0.2-micron bacteria-retentive filter included with the reprocessor is a bacteria-retentive filter.
•
The routine maintenance schedule recommends replacing the 0.2-micron bacteria-retentive filter every 6 months
or sooner, depending on the pre-filtration system and the quality of the incoming water.
•
The routine maintenance schedule recommends replacing the 1.0 micron and the 0.45 micron filter every
6 months or sooner, depending on the quality of the incoming water.
•
The incoming water supply must have a shut off valve (upstream of the external pre-filtration system).
•
The incoming water supply must be shut off at the end of every work day. Ensure that this water supply is
turned on prior to operating the reprocessor.
•
The reprocessor is supplied with a 2-stage pre-filtration system.
•
The pre-filtration system should be monitored for decrease in pressure, indicating blocked filter membranes.
Note: The DSD EDGE™ Reprocessor does not require backflow protection for the incoming
water supply, nor is a backflow protection device installed in the reprocessor. If building or
plumbing codes require backflow protection, then please consult your local codes, standards
and/or guidelines, for applicable requirements.
