Miele G 7893 Operating Instructions Manual page 7

The following points should be
observed to assist in maintaining
quality standards when processing
laboratory utensils and medical
equipment, in order to protect
patients and to avoid damage to the
loads being cleaned.
~
If the machine is being used for
disinfection in accordance with official
regulations on the control of epidemics,
the steam condenser and its
connections to and from the wash
cabinet must be cleaned and
disinfected whenever any repairs are
carried out or parts replaced.
~
If it is necessary to interrupt a
programme in exceptional
circumstances, this may only be done
by authorised personnel.
~
The standard of cleaning and
disinfection in the disinfection
programmes must be routinely
confirmed by the user. The process
should be thermally electrically
monitored on a regular basis, and
checked against documented control
results. Chemo thermal procedures
should also be monitored using chemo
or bio indicators.
~
For thermal disinfection, use
temperatures and temperature holding
times to achieve the required infection
prophylaxis in accordance with current
health and safety regulations.
Warning and Safety instructions
~
If there are toxic or chemical
substances in the suds solution (e.g.
aldehyde in the disinfecting agent) you
must be particularly vigilant of the risks
these carry should you need to interrupt
a programme and open the door. The
door seals and if applicable the correct
functioning of the steam condenser
should be regularly monitored.
~
Only use chemical agents
formulated for special processes and
approved by Miele for use with this
machine. Use of unsuitable agents
could adversely affect the components
of the machine. Any resultant damage
would invalidate the machine
guarantee.
~
Pre-treatments with cleaning or
disinfecting agents can create foam, as
can certain types of soiling and
chemical agents. Foam can have an
adverse effect on the disinfection and
cleaning result.
~
Where a chemical additive is
recommended on technical application
grounds (e.g. a cleaning agent), this
does not imply that the manufacturer of
the machine accepts liability for the
effect of the chemical on the items
being cleaned.
Please be aware that changes in
formulation, storage conditions etc.
which may not be publicised by the
chemical manufacturer, can have a
negative effect on the cleaning result.
