Quick Troubleshoot
If the GUS
Disinfection Soak Station is not running, check the following:
1.
Ensure that the unit is plugged into a live wall outlet.
2.
Make sure the
green On/Off
switch is on. The switch will be illuminated when on.
3.
Push the white ‘test’ button on the GFCI, located next to the On/Off switch. Then push
the white ‘reset’ button. This should restart the system and the
green On/Off
switch
should now be illuminated.
4.
In the event that the system is still not working, you will need to check the fuse, which is
externally mounted.
5.
Unscrew fuse holder from the unit. The fuse holder is located to the right of the
faceplate next to the fuse label. If damaged, replace with a standard 3-amp fuse.
6.
If the System is still not working, call CIVCO Medical Solutions at 1-800-445-6741.
If you can still smell fumes from your high-level disinfectant while using the GUS system,
check the following:
1.
Both the soak and rinse tray(s) are inside the disinfection soak station. It is very
important that there is always a rinse tray(s) containing clean water for the initial rinse.
Failure to do so will result in exposure to vapor when transferring the instrument to the
sink for rinsing.
NOTE:
If three trays are have provided with your system, the rinse water should be
placed in the middle of your GUS station.
2.
The system is being left on at all times while disinfectant is in the soak tray(s).
3.
Lids are placed on the soak tray(s) when not in use and during the soaking cycle.
4.
Fresh disinfectant is being activated and poured into your soak tray(s) while INSIDE the
system, with it running on high speed.
5.
Disinfectant is being neutralized
INSIDE
the system prior to disposal.
6.
Filters have been changed as recommended (every six months with daily use).
7.
Spills outside of the system are immediately neutralized and cleaned up.
8.
No other disinfectants are being used in the room, Including inside an Automated
Reprocessing System.
9.
All personnel using the system have been fully trained on its use.
10.
Verify that the system switches to the high-speed setting when you open the front
acrylic door. You should hear a marked Increase in the noise level.
If the disposal pump is not working, check the following:
1.
Check to make sure that the in-line filter on the suction hose is not clogged. If it is, you
must replace the filter. Contact CIVCO Medical Solutions for replacement in-line filters.
2.
If the disposal pump is still not working, call CIVCO Medical Solutions at 1-800-445-6741.
