Steris Amsco 2532 Washer Chemical Injection Pumps:

• Three pumps are located in the lower portion of washer /disinfector.
• Pumps allow the use of Prolystica® 2X Concentrate cleaning products.
• Each concentrated product is two times the concentration of a traditional product; therefore, two times less chemical is injected to properly process cycles.
• Peristaltic pumps automatically add 1/8 to 2 oz/gal (1.0 to 16 mL/L) of regular chemicals to the chamber.
• Pumps give the flexibility to wash cycle with a neutral process, an enzyme process, a dual alkaline/enzyme and enzyme/neutralizer processor to vary chemical used depending upon load.
• One pump is dedicated to the lubricant to be injected during Thermal Rinse phase.
• A low-level sensor is included to indicate when container detergent level is low or when an insufficient chemical is available for the next cycle.
• Control monitors the volume of chemicals injected and indicates if this parameter meets specified criteria during all specific phases.

High-capacity Air Blower:

• Delivers heated (240°F [116°C]) fresh air through unit piping and manifold rack to promote complete drying.
• Fresh air is drawn through a HEPA filter.

Microprocessor Control System:

Equipped with a touch screen Customer interface. This 5.7” (115 mm) color touch screen is mounted at eye level above chamber on the load side, allowing easy monitoring of all wash cycles. Control system monitors and controls all phases of each program cycle. Control system includes four factory pre-programmed and validated cycles (Instruments, Utensils, AutoSink Instruments, and AutoSink Utensils). Nine additional washing cycles may be programmed to meet extra Customer requirements.

Microprocessor Control System Features:

• Locking program cycle parameters with an access code.
• Service mode for preventive maintenance testing and to facilitate troubleshooting.
• Built-in service diagnostic program to permit system calibration and verification of component operations.
• Security lock-out feature that enables programs and temperatures to be locked and unchangeable without the proper access code.

CYCLE DESCRIPTION:

ADVISORY NOTE: We do not intend, recommend or represent in any way that this AMSCO 2532 Single-Chamber Washer/Disinfector (FH13) be used for the terminal disinfection or sterilization of any regulated medical device. These Washer/Disinfectors are intended only to perform an initial step in the reprocessing of
soiled, reusable medical devices. If medical devices contact blood or compromised tissues, such devices must be terminally reprocessed in accordance with current good hospital practices before each use in human patients.

Items to be cleaned are placed on an appropriate accessory manifold rack and pushed into chamber, automatically coupling with manifold solution transfer system. The operator closes the door. Once a program is selected and START is pressed, the unit proceeds through the treatment schedule and automatically shuts
off at cycle completion. A display message and audible alarm indicate the load is ready to be removed.

Instruments and Utensils cycles (developed and validated to provide a total cleaning solution by pairing advanced washing technology with Prolystica 2X Concentrate cleaning products) phases are as follows:

• Pre-Wash – Coldwater enters sump from building supply. Once the sump fills, pre-wash water is recirculated and sprayed over the load for the selected time interval. At phase completion, water is sent to the drain.
• Wash – Hot water enters sump from building supply and a selected amount of enzymatic cleaner is added. Once the water level is reached, the solution is recirculated and sprayed over the load. The solution is heated while recirculating. Once the set temperature is reached, the neutral detergent is injected. At phase completion, the solution is sent to the drain.
• Rinse – Hot water enters sump from building supply. Once the sump fills, rinse water is recirculated and sprayed over the load for a selected time interval. At phase completion, water is sent to the drain.
• Thermal Rinse – Pure water enters sump from building supply. If selected, instrument lubricant is added during this filling part of the phase. Rinse water is heated and maintained 180-194°F (82-90°C). Once the desired temperature is reached, the rinse water is recirculated and sprayed over the load for the selected time interval. At phase completion, water is sent to the drain. NOTE: For anesthesia goods only, the lowest Thermal Rinse temperature is 176°F (80°C)
• HEPA-Filtered Drying – Air is circulated through racks and chamber for a set time. Air is directed through racks for fast drying. Temperature is factory set but is adjustable: at LOW – 180°F (82°C); HIGH – 240°F (116°C).

Steris Amsco 2532 Washer SAFETY FEATURES:
