6. Care and Maintenance
IMPORTANT NOTES:
• This document outlines the minimum requirements to ensure that the equipment
performs to specification. In some regions, local/national guidance documents may
require additional testing. Please contact your dealer or local medical authorities
for details.
• Installation, commissioning, annual servicing MUST be undertaken by SciCan approved
technicians. Failure to maintain this equipment may invalidate the results of the following
testing regime.
Tests to be performed by the user:
Door lock check
This test is to ensure that the door cannot be opened while a cycle is running or a cycle will
not start with the door open. To check that these features are working correctly, attempt to
open the door using the handle immediately after a cycle has started. Caution – DO NOT
attempt this when the wash arms are rotating and/or the water is above ambient
temperature. The door should not open. When you attempt to start a cycle with the door
open, the cycle should not start. If the unit fails this test, stop using it immediately and call
your dealer for technical service.
Door seal check
Visually check the door seal for debris or wear. If the seal is worn or damaged, call your
dealer for technical service.
Load carrier check
Visually check load carriers (trolleys) for wear and tear, damage and that the runners move
freely over their full range.
Chamber filter check
Remove, visually check and clean as described in section 6.4.
Load check
Visually inspect each load for residual soil. Washers are designed to ensure that the
surfaces of instruments are free from debris that may compromise the sterilization process.
A visual check of the instruments processed in each load should be undertaken prior to
sterilization to ensure that no residual debris is present on the instrument.
If debris is still apparent, the instrument should not be considered clean and should be
reprocessed through the HYDRIM again prior to sterilization.
NOTE: Some set-able materials such as cements and composites, if set on the instrument
will not be removed in a HYDRIM. If these materials are noticed on the instrument then
abrasive removal may be required.
