Carry out a visual check before starting a program:
– Is everything correctly loaded/connected for cleaning?
– Was the recommended loading template followed?
– Can the lumen / narrow sections of hollow items be accessed by
the wash fluid?
– Are the spray arms clean, and can they rotate freely?
– Are the filters clean?
Remove any coarse soiling and clean the filters if necessary.
– Are the removable modules, injector nozzles, irrigation sleeves and
other rinsing fittings securely connected?
– Are the baskets and modules or wash carts correctly connected to
the water supply and are the water connectors undamaged?
– Are all chemical containers sufficiently filled?
The following must be checked at the end of every program:
– Carry out a visual check of the load for cleanliness.
– Check that all hollow items are still securely located on their injector
nozzles.
Any hollow items that have become disconnected from their
adapters during reprocessing must be re-processed.
– Check that the lumen of hollow items are free of obstruction.
– Check that injector nozzles and connectors are securely held in
position in the baskets or inserts.
