Preparing the
load
Empty all items before loading them into the machine.
Remove non-water soluble residues such as paint, adhesives and
polymer compounds using appropriate solvents.
Rinse wash load items which have been in contact with solvents,
chloride solutions or hydrochloric acid thoroughly with water and
drain well before loading into the machine.
The amount of residual solvents and acids on items going into
the cabinet should be minimal.
There should be no more than a trace of any solvents with a flash
point of below 70°F (21°C).
Chloride solutions, in particular hydrochloric acid, must not be
placed in the cabinet.
Scoop nutrient media (Agar) out of petri dishes.
Shake out any blood residues and remove any clots.
If necessary rinse the wash load briefly with water to prevent coarse
soiling entering the machine.
Remove all stoppers, corks, labels, sealing wax residue, etc.
Secure small items, such as stoppers and taps in suitable baskets
for small items.
It may be necessary in individual cases to check whether extremely
stubborn contamination, e.g., vacuum grease, paper labels, etc.,
which could affect the cleaning result, must be removed in advance.
It must be determined whether wash load items which are contami-
nated with microbiological material, pathogenic germs, facultative
pathogenic bacteria, genetically modified material, etc. need to be
sterilized prior to machine reprocessing.
