Advisory IMPORTANT: A listing of the Safety Precautions to be observed

when using and servicing this equipment can be found in SECTION 1

of this manual. Do not use the equipment until you have become

familiar with this information.

STERIS does not intend, recommend or represent in any way that

this AN Vision SC Manifold Rack be used in the Reliance/Hamo

Vision Single-Chamber Washer/Disinfector or the Vision Single-

Chamber Washer/Disinfector for the terminal disinfection or

sterilization of any regulated medical device. The AN 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 AN Vision SC 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 AN Vision SC Manifold

Rack in the washer/disinfector must withstand temperatures of up to

240°F (116°C).

This AN Vision SC Manifold Rack is specifically designed to only hold

items as outlined in this manual. If there is any doubt about a specific

material or product, contact the instrument manufacturer for

recommended washing techniques.

Any alteration of this equipment not authorized or performed by

STERIS will void the warranty. Alteration of this equipment which

could adversely affect its operation and efficacy may violate national,

state and local laws or regulations.
