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.
