CLEANING THE G10VPL CONTAINERS:
The containers that are supplied with the GUS Disinfection Soak Stations can be cleaned by the following methods:
l
In an instrument washer/disinfector with a thermal rinse of 190°F.
or
l
Manually cleaning with soap and water. Rinse the containers afterwards.
The water/rinse container should be cleaned at least daily or in accordance with your facility’s guidelines. The
container used for the disinfectant can be cleaned before refilling with fresh disinfectant.
Most customers replace the containers at least once a year, particularly when using OPA, because of its propensity
to stain. These are available from CIVCO Medical Solutions.
Disposing of Used High-Level Disinfectants
In some states and municipalities, it is illegal to dispose of used disinfectants without first deactivating them.
Deactivation also protects the user from exposure to splashes and spills.
CIVCO Medical Solutions manufactures
Glute-Out®
, a glycine-based neutralizer (part # 610-1099) which comes in a
convenient single-use bottle.
Glute-Out®
is specifically for use with
glutaraldehyde and OPA
based disinfectants.
For more information, please see the insert that is included with the enclosed sample.
With the unit running, open the bottle of neutralizer and slowly pour the contents into the container of high-level
disinfectant. After five minutes the disinfectant is deactivated and it is then safe to dispose of down the sink/drain
with the cold water running.
NOTE: Be sure to put the screw cap on the container before transporting it to the sink/drain for
disposal.
IMPORTANT:
Thoroughly clean and rinse out the container.
With the unit turned on, put the soaking container
back into place and refill it with fresh high-level disinfectant.
