Depending on the materials of the medical device being processed a variety of different cleaning
agents may be used. Generally, detergents shall be liquid, non-foaming, non-abrasive, free
rinsing and biodegradable and have the authorities' approvals for their intended use, as required.
For chromium steel surgical instruments alkaline detergents in the pH range 8 -- 14 are preferred.
Usually they may also be used for respiratory equipment. Acid based detergents should only be
used for stainless steel items. Medical devices made of aluminium need specific washing agents
designed especially for them. Please note that different chemicals may require different process
temperatures and times e.g. enzymatic cleaners a temperature between 30 - max 45 degrees
Celsius, whereas an alkaline one a temperature between 60 to 90 degrees. The instructions from
the manufacturer of the chemical e.g. regarding the concentration and temperature shall be
followed. Volume of water in the washing phase is 16 litres.
Please follow the instructions of the manufacturer of the chemical additive for safe handling, data
on the biocompatibility (e.g. the maximum permitted residual level on devices). Note that the
residual level, which can be tolerated, will depend upon the nature of the chemical and the
intended use of the product being cleaned. The specified performance may not be achieved if
other process chemicals than those, which have been tested during type testing, or separately
with certain process variables, are used.
NOTE! When using special chemicals find out from the chemical supplier the suitability
for chamber material AISI 304 (EN 1.4301, BS 304 S31) and chemical dosing system materials
PVC and Silicon.
Chemical hoses are marked with the symbols: Detergent Rinse aid
When you handle process chemicals - wear protection
gloves and follow the suppliers’ safety instructions.

1. Use only liquid detergents.
2. The detergent must be non-foaming. Even a small amount of foam will substantially
decrease the cleaning effect.
In case there is plenty of foam in the system the machine is unable to clean
the goods and automatic foam removal control will start.
3. The liquid must be free of particles so that nozzles or detergent pump valves
will not block.
4. Normally detergents being used are highly alkaline. PH-value is
between 10 and 14.
A strongly alkaline liquid will corrode aluminium and its colouring.
Please use special washing agents for aluminium items.
The detergents are powerful and must be handled with care.
In case of accidental contact with the skin or clothing wash immediately
with clean water. For eyes, seek immediate medical attention.
