Note: Prior to undertaking any service or maintenance operation, or when resetting
the GFI ensure that the DSD EDGE
®
Endscope Reprocessor is disconnected from the
main power supply. If service or maintenance operations are to be conducted on the
water system, ensure that the DSD EDGE Endoscope Reprocessor is isolated from
the main water supply.
Caution!
The reprocessor does not have an on/off switch. Be sure the reprocessor is
positioned so that the power cord or main circuit breaker is accessible at all times.
Warning! The reprocessor must be protectively grounded.
Installation and Maintenance
Proper maintenance will ensure effective disinfection and prolong the life of the reprocessor.
• The reprocessor must be protectively grounded.
• 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 allow the disinfecting solution to contact metal components.
• 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.
• Regularly inspect reprocessor for basin damage, pipe and tubing damage, which may result in leaks.
Water Quality and Filtration
Potable water is the minimum standard. Incoming water must be pre-filtered to a minimum of 0.45-micron at 35-40 psi at
a flow rate of 3.2 gpm/min and a temperature of 95°F (±4°F) or 35°C (±2°C).
• The high performance 0.2-micron water filter included with the reprocessor is a bacterial-retentive filter. The
filter removes all microorganisms and particles greater than 0.2-micron.
• The routine maintenance schedule recommends replacing the 0.2-micron water filter every 6 months or sooner,
depending on the pre-filtration system and the quality of the incoming water.
• Incoming water supplied (upstream of the external pre-filtration system) should be shut-off at the end of every
work day. Ensure that this water supply is turned on prior to operating the reprocessor.
• The DSD EDGE Endoscope Reprocessor is optionally supplied with a 2-stage pre-filtration system, refer to
document 50097-363 for installation.
• The pre-filtration system should be monitored for excessive pressure drop indicating blocked filter membranes.
