STERRAD VELOCITY Reader User’s Guide 7
CAUTION! RISK OF INSTRUMENT DAMAGE OR
INCORRECT RESULTS.
Operators using the instrument must have an understanding of the device,
its functionality, and the User’s Guide.
The hospital or healthcare facility is responsible for the security of the reader.
Do not drop the reader.
Place the reader on a flat, level surface free from vibration.
Do not store near any sterilizer, sources of ethylene oxide, hydrogen
peroxide, acids, alkalis or volatile antimicrobials such as glutaraldehyde or
formaldehyde, STERRAD™ Cassettes, or any other oxidizers.
Clean only the external surfaces of the reader following the manufacturer’s
instructions.
After plugging in the reader, allow the instrument to complete its warm-up
sequence before placing a BI in a well.
Ensure that the time is synchronized between the reader, the Sterilizer and
the ASP ACCESS™ to prevent errors occurring during manual entry.
Process the BI according to the directions provided in the BI IFU.
Do not process a BI from a canceled or aborted sterilization cycle.
The accuracy of the BI result has been verified up to two hours post sterilization
processing. Activate and incubate the biological indicator within two hours
of the completion of the sterilization cycle. Failure to do so may generate
misleading results or cause system lockout.
Handle BIs one at a time.
Check the expiration date of the BI prior to use, and only use non-expired BIs.
Select a well before scanning the BI barcode.
Scan and activate the BI before inserting into the reader well. Do not activate
the BI while it is in the instrument well.
Do not remove the biological indicator from the reader until the reader
display indicates the test is complete.
Do not use a damaged or non-functional reader well as identified by the reader.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
