Positioning the goods
NOTE:
All vessels must be thoroughly emptied before they are loaded into the machine.
Use inserts and special inserts correctly and only for the items and utensils that are
•
to be washed.
Make sure that the water jets reach all surfaces of the goods. Any surfaces that are
•
covered will not be completely clean.
Do not block the spray arm.
•
Make sure that the strainers in the machine are clean and that water can flow
•
through them. It is important to clean and check the strainers regularly.
Empty all vessels to be washed before they are placed in the machine.
•
Position sharp and pointed utensils in such a way that they cannot cause injury or
•
damage during loading and unloading.
Make sure that utensils are not lying on top of each other, preventing water from
•
reaching all surfaces.
Position vessels with their openings downwards in the correct inserts. Water must
•
be able to flow freely into and out of the vessels.
Goods with a convex bottom must be positioned on a tilt so that water does not
•
collect in the convex surface.
Anodised aluminium and nickel-plated instruments are not suitable for washing in
•
a washer disinfector.
Rigid endoscopes must be dismantled in accordance with the manufacturer’s
•
instructions before washing.
Open all valves and remove covers and seals so that the channels can be thoroughly
•
flushed out to achieve the desired cleaning result.
Optics and light guides must be approved by the manufacturer for thermal
•
disinfection .
Working with detergents etc
Empty out all residue of acid, especially hydrochloric acid, solvents and chloride-
containing solvents from the vessels before placing them in the machine.
Pre-treatment with detergent or disinfectant and certain types of dirt may
•
result in increased lather formation. The lather may affect the washing and
disinfection result .
Follow carefully the manufacturer’s instructions for detergents and special products.
•
To avoid chemical reactions (eg oxy-hydrogen gas) and damage to materials, the
detergent must only be used for the purpose stated by the manufacturer.
Handle liquid agents (for cleaning, rinsing, disinfection and neutralizing) with care.
•
The substances often consist of acids or caustic solutions.
Do not add organic solvents as this may result in an explosion. Use safety
glasses and protective gloves when handling these substances. Always follow the
manufacturer’s safety instructions when handling chemical agents.
Do not use domestic dishwasher detergent.
•
Follow the dosing instructions of the detergent manufacturer. Different detergents
•
may have different cleaning effects. If cleaning results are not satisfactory, try
changing to a detergent of a different quality before contacting Getinge.
