Steris InnoWave Unity User Manual

2.1 Intended Purpose of Equipment
The STERIS InnoWave™ Unity Sonic Irrigator is designed to thoroughly clean (remove
tissue, blood, and other contaminants from) a variety of reusable surgical instruments.
Cleaning is achieved through a combination of ultrasonic cavitation and low- frequency
cannulated pulse enhancement (CPE) fluid recirculation to dislodge and flush away
unwanted debris from both the outside and inside surfaces (hollow instruments only) of
items placed in the tank.
IMPORTANT
If this equipment is used in a manner not specified by manufacturer, effectiveness and
protection provided by equipment may be impaired.
2.2 Equipment Features
The InnoWave Unity & Unity 20 sonic irrigator is available in 2 model variations:
l The Unity has a tank depth of 215.0mm (8.5in.). The Unity basket has 8 flush ports.
l The Unity 20 has a tank depth of 253.4mm (10.0in.) and features a safety lock that
prevents the lid opening during wash operations. The Unity 20 basket has 2 spray

There are three pre- defined wash programs with pre- wash, wash, and rinse stages. An
additional three wash programs can be customized by authorized users. An optional
rewash program can be configured to allow the wash water to be reused for up to 10
washes.
Tank filling and draining, and the addition of detergent are automatically controlled
according to wash program settings. During a wash cycle, parameters are reported at key
stages of the process. The on-board cycle log can be downloaded onto a USB flash drive.
At the end of a wash cycle, instruments are removed from the unit for disinfection and
sterilization.
A class AB weir overflow is incorporated into the tank design to comply with water authority
back-flow regulations. The unit is designed to perform within strict and carefully controlled
tolerances. If an unexpected condition occurs during wash cycle, the system will abort the
cycle and report an error.
