Replacing Bleach & Enzyme Bottles
Evac Station bleach and enzyme bottles must be replaced when
indicated on the cart‟s display during processing. Bottle replacement is
completed as follows:
CAUTION:
ALWAYS use approved enzymatic cleaner and fresh
Clorox bleach when replacing chemicals (Clorox bleach slowly looses
strength over time). Other chemicals may damage the evac and cart.
Step 1 –
Remove lid and pickup tube from empty container. (Figure 8)
Step 2 –
Open a new bottle, place the bottle into the top of the unit,
insert the pickup tube into the bottle, and secure the lid.
Step 3 –
Dispose of the empty bottle per hospital policy.

Reprocessing Cycle Descriptions:
3L Soak – Cycle applies 10 ounces of enzyme with 3 liters of water to help break up any clots that may be
remaining in the bottom of the reservoir at the end of the cycle. Let the fluid soak for at least one hour for
best results.
Full Soak – Cycle fills reservoir to the 13L (Quad) or 16.5L (Duo) mark along with about 10 ounces
of enzyme. This cycle is used if there are spots on the reservoir that are not coming off during a
wash. Let the fluid soak for at least one hour for best results.
Rewash – Cycle will attempt to clean the selected reservoir(s) again using wash water and enzyme. The
cycle will apply the solution and pause several times during the rewash cycle.
Performing Verify Bleach Cycle:
To verify that the unit is applying bleach, place the unit into the check for bleach mode by using the
following steps:
1.
Hook a cart to the evac.
2.
Press the button to confirm the lids are on the reservoirs.
3.
On the second screen press the options button in the upper right hand corner.
4.
Select "Bleach Check" and press the "Start Process" button.
5.
The cart will process through bleach application and will give instructions on the screen.
6.
Remove a test strip from its container.
7.
Remove the lids and touch one end of the test strip to a droplet on the bottom of the first lid and
use the other end of the test strip to touch a droplet on the bottom of the other lid.
8.
A purple test strip indicates a pass. Any other color indicates a failed result.
9.
Replace the lids onto the reservoirs and press the button on the screen to complete processing.
10.
If the test strip turns purple the canisters are having bleach applied to them.
11.
If the test strips do not turn purple, call DMS at 1-888-466-6633 and ask for service.
