of the instruments despite compliance
with the manufacturer’s instructions, the
responsibility will still be borne by the
instrument manufacturer.
a
WARNING! The treatment of ophthalmic
instruments requires the use of deionized
water.
Comply with the following for automatic treatment:
- Use a slightly alkaline detergent for cleaning. Use a
citric acid-based neutraliser for neutralisation. Never
use chemicals during the last rinse.
- Rinse the hollow instruments after the application
and check that the deionized water passage is free
before the automatic treatment.
- Insert the hollow instruments into the rinse bar,
specially designed for this use.
- Make sure that no deposits form on the instruments.
- Dry the hollow instruments with compressed air
after the treatment in order to remove all residual
humidity.
- Follow the manufacturer’s instructions with regard
to the maintenance of instruments/accessories for
loading.
6.3 Programs
The machine leaves the factory with presetting washing
programs already entered in the settings menu.
For programs details see the Washing Programs
booklet.
6.3.1 Suggested programs vs configurations
For a good result, it's important to choose the right
program toghether with the righ load/configuration.
To select the programs available, use key P1, P2 or P3
(see Fig. 15) depending on the most suitable program
for the level of dirt of the load.
6.3.2 Program structure
• Drain: It is used to empty the washing chamber.
• Pre-wash: Pre-wash is necessary to eliminate coarse
dirt and foamy substances.
• Wash: Depending on the load, washing normally
takes place at 113°F - 149°F (45°C - 65°C), adding the
appropriate detergent.
• Rinse: The rinsing operation eliminates and
neutralises the chemicals of previous washes.
• Disinfection: Process to inactivate viable
microorganisms to a level previously specified as
being appropriate for a defined purpose, deionized
water (if available) should be used during the
disinfection phase.
• Drying: Sufficient drying reduces the risk of corrosion
caused by the residual humidity on the load (not
available for models without drying system).
6.4 Starting the machine
After checking the integrity and full efficiency of the
machine, proceed with start-up:
- Power the machine using the main circuit breaker.
- Open the door (key 5 Fig. 15) to introduce the rack.
6.4.1 Before starting the program
Before starting each program, check:
- That the filters, positioned on the bottom of the
chamber (Fig. 11) are perfectly clean. Clean them, if
necessary.
- The nozzles of the upper and lower spray arms must
be free and clean.
- Products must be arranged correctly.
- The spray arms must be able to rotate freely. The
machine constantly monitors the rotation speed
during the program (optional).
- Liquid containers must be sufficiently filled. Check
for any messages on the display before starting the
program.
Closing the door
- Load the instruments and introduce the rack.
