I.
Positioning the Unit
The FirstResponder
®
Sterilizer is portable and ready to plug in and use directly
out of the box. Its effectiveness depends on how the generated is dispersed
through ambient air. We recommend that users place the unit as centrally as
possible in the vehicle or room, or closest to known or suspected heavy
contamination areas.
II.
Preparing the Area to Be Sterilized
1.
Clean area or cabinet that needs sterilization from heavy or excess
contaminants using wipes or cleaning solutions like soap, ethanol, bleach,
etc.
2.
Seal room or vehicle and verify that there are no gaps or openings. An
airtight space will prevent TO gas from escaping and will allow the buildup
of TO molecules. If any spaces cannot be closed off, it is necessary to
seal openings with plastic sheeting and/or tape.
3.
4.
Use a copy of the “CAUTION” page in this manual (Page 7), or make your own note and prepare to affix on the outside of the first
responder vehicle or room door indicating that a sterilization cycle is in progress. This is necessary to avoid disrupting a sterilization cycle
and to eliminate accidental human exposure to high levels of TO.
III.
Operating the Unit
General Notes
a.
Different materials will react differently to TO. Consult Appendix A on page 4 for
guidance.
b.
For safety reasons, the unit will not operate if the lid is open.
c.
The unit can be set to operate between 00:01 and 99:99 minutes for either of the TO
or scrub cycles.
d.
We recommend users keep a log of hours used; this will help with knowing when to
replace the Scrub Filter (recommended after each 3,000 hours).
To set the run time for the
ozone cycle
:
For recommended sterilization times based on size of area, see Table 1 below.
a.
Press the [OZONE TIME] button; the digital display will light up and read either “
0000
” or a previously set time.
b.
Press [TIME SELECT] button; the left-most digit will blink;
c.
Press [SET TIME] up or down arrow button repeatedly until desired time is selected.
d.
Press [TIME SELECT] button to move to next digit, repeat Step c, then press [SET TIME] to move to the next digit.
e.
Repeat Step d. one last time to set the last digit; the display now should read the ozone time with no blinking digits.
To set the run time for the
scrub cycle
:
For recommended scrubbing times based on size of area, see Table 1 below.
f.
Press the [SCRUB TIME] button; the digital display will read either “
0000
” or a previously set time.
g.
Press [TIME SELECT] button; the left-most digit will blink;
h.
Press [SET TIME] up or down arrow button repeatedly until desired time is selected.
i.
Press [TIME SELECT] button to move to next digit, repeat Step c, then press [SET TIME] to move to the next digit.
j.
Repeat Step d. one last time to set the last digit; the display now should read the ozone time with no blinking digits.
k.
If needed or desired, set a lab timer with the total sterilization and scrubbing cycle times as a reminder before you run the unit. Once
the ozone and scrub cycles have been set, press the [RUN] button; the green light will turn on and you will hear the machine operate.
Immediately seal the area that is being sterilized.
l.
Upon sterilization and scrub cycles completion, the FirstResponder Sterilizer will automatically turn off and the digital display will be
blank; users can enter the vehicle or room that is being sterilized. If needed, the FirstResponder Sterilizer can be run again with current
or readjusted settings for further cleaning cycles.
