Operating instructions

Description of the machine
This washer-disinfector can be set up
or retro-fitted to use the OXIVARIO
programme by adding an additional
dispenser pump together with a buffer
tank for hydrogen peroxide H
2
O
2
solution. The DOS 2 dispenser is used
for the H
2
O
2
solution.
Two special programmes are available
for this cleaning process, OXIVARIO
PLUS and OXIVARIO. The machine is
supplied with these two programmes
allocated to programme places 51 and
52.
The cleaning process releases active
oxygen under alkaline conditions. The
cleaning agent used must be tenside
free and have a pH value of between
11 and 11.5.
Areas of application
The OXIVARIO process uses an
alkaline cleaning agent and is
recommended for processing surgical
instruments where particularly stringent
levels of cleanliness are required.
It is particulary suitable for surgical
instruments such as those used in HF
(high frequency) surgery, bone surgery
and for instruments which have dried
out because of the length of time that
has elapsed between using them and
reprocessing them. It is also suitable for
antiseptic circumstances.
The cleaning process is suitable for the
careful handling of minimally invasive
instruments, including fibre optics,
where the manufacturer has declared
that they are suitable for processing
with an alkaline cleaning agent.
It is not suitable for anodised
aluminium.
Be aware that items made from alloys
containing titanium such as some
implants, do not always state the
material's compatibility. Processing
such items can result in colour
changes, rendering any coding on
them ineffective. If in doubt please
consult the manufacturer of the item.
Instruments processed using the
OXIVARIO PLUS or OXIVARIO
programmes must be very carefully
handled afterwards.
