2.1 Operational Safety Guidelines
2.1.1
Only trained and qualified personnel should operate the mRDS unit.
2.1.2
Levels of training:
a) Demonstration Training: individuals who will be operating the mRDS unit for
demonstration purposes only, using only de-ionized or distilled water as a surro-
gate solution must read and understand this document.
b) mRDS Operator Training: individuals who will be operating the mRDS unit for
facility or asset decontamination using AeroClave solution must be trained and
qualified. See the requirements in Section 2.2 Operator Qualifications.
2.1.3
Only an authorized AeroClave service technician may repair or maintain this equipment.
2.1.4
The mRDS unit is designed to operate on a standard 120V, 15-amp grounded power
receptacle. To avoid electrical hazards or damage to the machine, this minimum power
requirement must be met.
2.1.5
The fine aerosol generated by the mRDS unit may activate smoke detectors. Optical
based smoke sensor systems are typically the most susceptible to false alarms. The facility
or asset being treated must be evaluated on a case-by-case basis for this. Appropriate
measures must be taken prior to treatment.
2.1.6
Review and follow all labels and warnings marked on AeroClave products.
2.1.7
Before plugging in power cord,
make sure the trigger on the APA, if the APA is
connected, is not pressed down.
2.1.8
It is recommended that the operator don a minimum level of PPE consisting of, at least, an
N95 respirator and goggles (or full-face shield) prior to APA operation.
