WARNING

PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD

Always verify door bridge is down before entering and exiting washer/disinfector chamber.

Always wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including gloves and faceshield, when

cleaning or removing debris from bottom of chamber and from debris screen. Surfaces are very hot after

a cycle is completed and residual water could splash on skin and in eyes.

Bar code reader (accessory) emits laser radiation. Do not stare at bar code reader beam.

Due to the size of the equipment, it may be necessary during installation, repairs or maintenance to

conduct work on TOP of the equipment. Customer is responsible for ensuring that necessary fall

protection safeguards are in place, including those required by applicable safety regulations and

standards such as those promulgated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

In case of an emergency, press Emergency Stop pushbutton or pull one of the emergency stop cables to

stop washer/disinfector.

Items in rack may move during processing and be filled with residual hot water or protrude from rack at

the end of the cycle. Always wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and carefully remove

items from rack.

Keep away from service door area when washer door opens to avoid crushing hazard.

Keep hands and fingers away from door or any moving parts to prevent crushing.

Never perform cleaning of washer/disinfector chamber until cycle has been completed. If cycle has not

been completed, contaminated debris or water may remain in bottom of chamber.

To open doors from inside washer/disinfector chamber, pull one of the emergency stop cables; doors

slightly open. Push on one of the doors to exit chamber.

To prevent tipping, place the biggest and heaviest items on the lower levels of the rack.

WARNING

WARNING

ELECTRIC SHOCK AND/OR BURN HAZARD

Fasteners and star washers are used to ensure protective bonding continuity. Always reinstall any star

washer which may have been removed during installation or servicing.

Placing washer Power ON/OFF toggle switch in OFF position to turn off washer/disinfector DOES NOT cut

off electrical power. Lockout/Tagout building electrical disconnect switch to cut power to

washer/disinfector for maintenance or repairs.

Repairs and adjustments to this equipment must be made only by STERIS or STERIS-trained service

personnel. Service personnel must disconnect all utilities to unit before servicing. No one should service

unit unless all utilities have been properly locked out. Always follow local electrical codes and safety-

related work practices.

WARNING

CHEMICAL BURN AND/OR EYE INJURY HAZARD

Chemicals are caustic and can cause adverse effects to exposed tissues. Do not allow chemicals used in

the washer/disinfector to contact eyes, skin or do not attempt to swallow. Read and follow the

precautions and instructions on the chemical label and in the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) prior to handling

the chemical, refilling the chemical container or servicing the chemical injection pump. Wear appropriate

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) whenever handling the chemical or servicing the chemical injection

pump and lines.

Wear gloves and eye protection when using a chemical. Avoid contact with eyes or skin. if spilled or

splashed, flush with plenty of water for 15 minutes. If swallowed, DO NOT induce vomiting. Seek medical

attention immediately.

WARNING

SLIPPING HAZARD

To prevent slips, keep floors dry. Promptly clean up any spills or drippage. For spills or drippage of

detergents or other chemicals, follow safety precautions and handling procedures set forth on detergent

or chemical label and/or Safety Data Sheet (SDS).

WARNING

BURN HAZARD

Allow washer/disinfector to cool down before performing any service on pump, mechanical components

or piping. Surfaces become very hot during washer/disinfector operation.

In an emergency, first stop cycle by pressing Emergency Stop pushbutton. Wait until water flow stops

before opening door. Once door is opened, wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

whenever entering the chamber to unload washer/disinfector.

1 — Safety Precautions

920515770_J Vision®1300 Series Operator Manual

Inner surfaces of chamber, surgical case carts and racks are very hot after cycle is completed. Allow

washer/disinfector to cool down before entering chamber. Always wear appropriate Personal Protective

Equipment (PPE), including gloves and faceshield, and avoid all contact with inner walls when entering

chamber.

When removing reservoir cover, always wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including

gloves and faceshield to prevent burns from water solution splashes or steam.

WARNING

INEFFECTIVE PROCESS HAZARD

Customer is responsible for validating the performances of their own customized cycles. STERIS does not

recommend setting cycle parameters below those validated cycles.

CAUTION

POSSIBLE EQUIPMENT DAMAGE

Always leave plenty of space between load and door before opening load door. Leaning load against door

will damage door and also prevent it from opening or closing.

Always select a cycle appropriate for the items being processed. Failure to do so may result in product

damage.

Items processed in the washer/disinfector must tolerate temperatures and chemicals specified in this

manual. Always follow instrument manufacturer recommendations for cleaning instructions.

Use nonabrasive cleaners when cleaning washer/disinfector. Follow directions on containers and rub in a

back-and-forth motion (in same direction as surface grain). Abrasive cleaners will damage stainless steel.

Cleaners rubbed in a circular motion or applied with a wire brush or steel wool on cabinet and chamber

assemblies can be harmful to stainless steel. Do not use these cleaners on painted surfaces.

When choosing a detergent, select one with a low-chloride content. Detergents with a high-chloride

content must not be used, as such detergents may harm stainless steel.

Wipe all plastic surfaces or painted surfaces with 70% isopropyl alcohol cleaner (such as glass or

countertop cleaners).
