Notes on the individual areas of
application and examples of loading
are given on the following pages.
Before starting a programme you
should carry out a visual check on
the following:
– Is everything correctly
loaded/connected for cleaning?
– Are the lumen or necks of hollow
instruments positioned so that water
can access them unhindered?
– Are the spray arms clean and do
they rotate freely?
–Are the filters clean? Remove any
coarse soiling and clean them
properly if necessary.
–Is the adapter connecting the water
supply to the spray arms/jets
correctly connected?
–Are all chemical containers filled
sufficiently?
At the end of each programme:
–Carry out a visual check of the load
for cleanliness.
–Check that all hollow instruments are
still securely located on their jets.
,Any instruments that have
become disconnected from the
adapters during processing must be
re-processed.
–Are the lumen of hollow instruments
completely clean and clear of
contamination?
– Check that jets and connectors are
securely connected to the baskets or
inserts.
Loading the machine
– Arrange the load so that water can
access all surfaces. This ensures
that they get properly cleaned.
– Do not place items to be cleaned
inside other pieces where they may
be concealed.
–Hollow instruments must be
thoroughly cleaned, internally and
externally.
–Ensure that instruments with long
narrow hollow sections can be
flushed through properly before
placing them in inserts or connecting
them to jets.
–Hollow vessels should be inverted
and placed in the correct baskets
and inserts to ensure that water can
flow in and out of them unrestricted.
