Detergent Solution
If the user decides to incorporate a pre-wash 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 and free-rinsing neutral in pH recirculation.
Caution!
Never use household detergent in the reprocessor.
Disinfectant Solution
USE ONLY RAPICIDE PA Disinfectant.
