STERIS does not intend, recommend or represent in any way that the
MIS Vision SC Manifold Rack or the Three-Level MIS Manifold Rack
be used in the Reliance Vision Single-Chamber Washer/Disinfector
or in the Vision Single-Chamber Washer/Disinfector for the terminal
disinfection or sterilization of any regulated medical device. The MIS
Vision SC Manifold Rack is intended only to perform an initial step in
the processing of soiled, reusable medical devices in the washer/
disinfector. If medical devices will be contacting blood or
compromised tissues, such devices must be terminally processed in
accordance with Good Hospital Practices before each use in human
patients.
STERIS does not recommend processing flexible endoscopes,
single-use instruments, rigid telescopes (optical lens), fiber-optic
cables, multi-part instruments that cannot be disassembled, heat-
sensitive devices and coagulating electrodes using the MIS Vision
SC Manifold Rack or the Three-Level MIS Manifold Rack in the
washer/disinfector. Processing these types of instruments may result
in instrument or equipment damage as well as improperly cleaned
items. All items processed using the MIS Vision SC Manifold Rack or
the Three-Level MIS Manifold Rack in the washer/disinfector must
withstand temperatures of up to 240°F (116°C).
The MIS Vision SC Manifold Rack and the Three-Level MIS Manifold
Rack are specifically designed to only hold items as outlined in this
manual. If there is any doubt about a specific material or product,
