8.  SANITIZATION PROCEDURES 

8.1  Liquid sanitization 

The  normal  sanitization  procedure  for  the 

MEDICA

  unit  is  to  sanitize 

the Reverse Osmosis (RO) module and associated pipework (

8.1.1

). If 

required, the  unit  and  docking  vessel/reservoir  may  also  be  sanitized 
(

8.1.2

). 

8.1.1  RO sanitization procedure 

The  unit  is  sanitized  to  reduce  the  growth  of  microbiological 
contamination  within  the  unit.  The 

MEDICA-R  7/15  US

 

has  a  built-in 

sanitization  port,  which  allows  the  sterilant  to  be  introduced  into  the 
water  feeding  the  RO.  Please  read  this  entire  section  to  become 
familiar with the procedure before you start.  

The  sanitization  frequency  required  is  dependent  on  the  feedwater, 
local environment, usage patterns and  application. As a general rule, 
ELGA  LabWater  recommends  sanitization  of  the  RO  at  6  monthly 
intervals.  However,  the  period  between  sanitizations  could  be 
extended  in  particular  circumstances.  For  example,  microbial  growth 
will  usually  be  lower  with  clean  feed  water,  well-maintained  pre-
treatment, low temperatures and heavy usage. 

 

WARNING!  ALWAYS  WEAR  RUBBER  GLOVES,  APRON  AND 

FACEMASK.  DO  NOT  BREATHE  FUMES  OR  ALLOW 
TO  COME  IN  CONTACT  WITH  SKIN  OR  EYES. 
ALWAYS  FOLLOW  RECOMMENDATIONS  FOUND  IN 
THE  MANUFACTURERS  MATERIAL  SAFETY  DATA 
SHEET  AND  ANY  APPLICABLE  OSHA  STANDARDS 
FOR THE CHEMICAL BEING USED. 

 

WARNING!  LABEL 

THE 

MACHINE 

WITH 

APPROPRIATE 

WARNING  SIGNS  SUCH  A

S  “DO  NOT  USE/ 

CONTAINS STERILANT” (NOT PROVIDED) 

 

 

Minncare Cold Sterilant  is a Peracetic and Hydrogen  Peroxide based 
solution. 

Refer  to  the  Minncare  label  for  additional  information  and  follow  all 
applicable directions for use on the manufacturer’s label in conjunction 
with the following instructions. 

 

Step 1 - Start Sanitization Cycle 

1.  ENSURE that the reservoir level indication on the 

graphics  display  is  showing  >40%.  If  display 
shows  >70%  or  100%,  dispense  water  until 
display changes to >40%. 

2.  PRESS  the  PROCESS  button  to  stop  the 

process. 

3.  TURN OFF the electrical power supply. 

4. 

APPLY  a  suitable  warning  label  such  as  “DO 
NOT USE / CONTAINS STERILANT”. 

5.  RELIEVE  residual  pressure  by  opening  the 

dispense tap and directing water to drain. 

6.  CLOSE the dispense tap. 

7.  DISCONNECT  outlet  tube  at  reservoir  inlet  and  

re-direct  to  a  large  container  (>5litres)
