Non-vented System:

• This allows chamber vapors to be exhausted to the room through a condenser and a HEPA filter located at the back of the unit.

Drain Discharge Cool Down:

• This feature assures all water is drained from the wash chamber sump to the building draining system.
• Cold water is automat­ically injected into the sump when the water temperature is too high.
• Drain dis­charge cooldown will keep the tempera­ture in the drain piping below 140°F (60°C).
• The unit has three adjustable wheels: two in front and one in the back.
• All fill valves are mounted at the back of the unit. Draining valves and pumps are located under the wash chamber.
• The washer interior piping and interior wiring, requiring only one connection for each service and utility hookup.

Steris Reliance 333 Washer Disinfector Safety Features:

• A safety door switch prevents a cycle from starting when the door is opened.

CONTROL PANEL:

Steris Reliance 333 Washer Disinfector CYCLE DESCRIPTION:

NOTE: ADVISORY NOTE: We do not intend, recommend nor represent in any way that this Reliance 333 Washer/ Disinfector be used for the terminal disinfection or sterilization of any regulated medical device. Reliance Washer/Disinfectors are intended only to perform an initial step in the reprocessing of soiled, reusable medical devices. If medical devices will be contacting blood or compromised tissues, such devices must be terminally reprocessed in accordance with current Good Hospital Practices before each use in human patients.

NOTE: Always refer to instrument manufacturer for recommended cleaning procedures.

The Reliance 333 Washer/Disinfector features three factory-set cycles:

• The Reliance 333 Washer Disinfector features three factory-set cycles:
  • INSTRUMENT 1
  • MICRO 2 (microsur­gery)
  • MIS 3 (minimally invasive sur­gery)
• These are to accommodate typical loads and processing requirements.
• Each cycle can be programmed to include up to eight separate treatments.

Standard Available Treatments Include:

• Two pre-washes
• One pulsed enzyme wash
• One pulsed enzyme rinse
• One wash</li>
• One rinse
• One thermal rinse (with lubricant)
• (An optional drying phase is also available.)
• Once a cycle is selected, the washer/ disinfector automatically processes the load through the pre-programmed treat­ments.
• Cycle values are locked in and cannot be changed until the cycle is completed.

Three Additional Cycles:

• CYCLE 4
• CYCLE 5
• CYCLE 6
• Each may be pro­grammed to suit specific needs.
• CYCLE 6:
  • May be programmed as a spe­cial DRYING cycle if the optional drying system is ordered (see Options).

DECONTAMINATION:

Cycle is provided to pre­vent the formation of biofilm or scale in the wash chamber and piping without the need for additional cycle programming.

• On Initial Startup:
  • Pressing the ON/OFF pushbutton will place the control and unit in the operating mode.
  • (It is recom­mended the unit be left on at all times, except for major service or maintenance.)
• When the desired touchpad symbol is pressed to start a cycle, the washer/ disinfector will automatically process the load through the following factory-set treatments:
• PRE-WASH 1 Cycle:
  • Sump fills with cold tap water from the building supply line; the load is pre-washed for 45 seconds (factory set), then water is sent to drain.
• PRE-WASH 2 Cycle:
  • Sump fills with cold tap water from the building supply line; the load is pre-washed for three minutes (adjustable from three to 15 minutes), then water is sent to drain.
• PULSED ENZYME Cycle:
• Wash:
  • Sump fills with enzyme deter­gent-injected hot tap water from the building supply line; the load is pulsed for four minutes (adjustable from four to 15 minutes), then the solution is sent to drain.
• Rinse:
  • Sump fills with hot tap water from the building supply line. Enzyme rinse time is 20 seconds (factory-set).
  • The solution is sent to drain.
• WASH Cycle:
• Wash:
  • Sump fills with detergent injected hot tap water from the build­ing supply line (minimum 110°F [ 43°C] and heated up to 140°F (60°C).
  • The load is sprayed for three min­utes (heated three to 15 minutes), then the solution is sent to drain.
• Rinse:
  • The load is pulsed with hot tap water from the building supply line. Rinse time is 20 seconds (factory set).
• THERMAL RINSE Cycle:
• Sump fills with hot purified water from the building supply line, or from optional purified water generator.
• The solution is heated to 180- 2030F (82.2-95°C). Purified water is sprayed on the load until the preset temperature is reached.
• Lubricant is added to the purified water during filling (if selected).
• Once the preset temperature is reached, the solution is sprayed over the load for one minute (adjustable from one to 15 minutes), then the solution is sent to drain.
• NOTE: Items processed during the Thermal Rinse phase will reach a maximum of 183°F (83.8°G) if thermal rinse temperature is set at 180°F (82.2°G), or 206°F (96.6 °G) if thermal rinse temperature is set at 203 °F (95°C).
• Optional DRYING:
• The drying tem­perature can be preset LOW or HIGH. Drying time is five minutes (adjustable from one to 60 minutes). The door can be opened at any time during the Drying phase.
• NOTE: Items processed during the Drying phase will reach a maximum temperature of 200°F (93°C) if drying temperature is set at LOW, or 240°F (115°G) if drying temperature is set at HIGH.

OPTIONS:

• Load Lifting Door:
  • Automated door lift mechanism facilitates loading and unloading of manifold accessory racks.
  • When the door is open, the load lifting door allows the operator to raise or lower the door by pressing the DOOR UP/ DOOR DOWN toggle switch.
  • The door can be raised or lowered and stopped at any height to provide an adjustable, ergonomic loading /unloading platform.
  • Gearbox motor and chain drive mecha­nism are located under the unit.
• Drying System:
  • Located at the bottom of the unit, consists of a pre-filter, blower, HEPA filter, and electrical heating ele­ments.
  • The heating elements can be acti­vated in a special high/low power config­uration to enhance the heating process.
  • A second HEPA filter, located at the outlet of the wash chamber, reduces the risk of contamination in the room (caused by contaminated items treated in the wash chamber).
  • Drying cycle time is adjust­able from one to 60 minutes.

ACCESSORIES:

• MIS (minimally invasive surgery) Rack (for MIS 3 cycle only):
  • Allows the operator to clean rigid MIS instruments efficiently.
  • The manifold rack automatically connects to the washer/ disinfector to maximize the efficiency of cleaning and low-level disinfection.

Steris Reliance 333 Washer Disinfector TECHNICAL DATA:

• Resistive Temperature Devices (RTDs) sense temperature inside the sump and wash chamber.
• These signals converted into electrical impulses, provide accurate control inputs and readouts throughout the entire cycle.
• Individual temperature calibrations can be made by a trained service technician.
• Water level sensors monitor the water level of the sump in the wash chamber.
• If water level and/or temperature sensor failure occurs, an alarm will sound.

NOTES:

1. Pipe sizes shown on rough-in drawing indicate terminal outlets only. Building service lines (not provided) must supply the specified pressures and flow rates.
2. Customer must assure the washer/disinfector stands on a noncombustible, non-slip floor.
3. Isolation valves, vacuum breakers, main breaker (or fuse) disconnect switch box, junction box, and connectors on utility lines to the washer/disinfector as required are not provided.
