operating or servicing the equipment.

Strictly following these Safety Precautions enhances Customer’s ability to safely and effectively utilize the equipment

and helps avoid improper maintenance methods which may damage the equipment or render it unsafe. It is important

to understand that these Safety Precautions are not exhaustive; Customers are encouraged to develop their own safety

policies and procedures to enhance and complement these Safety Precautions.

WARNING

PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD

Always use non-foaming chemical for effective cleaning and proper pump and water

level sensor operation. Follow manufacturer’s recommendations for amount of chemical

to be used.

Before servicing or cleaning washer/disinfector, always turn Lock/Unlock key selector to

Lock position to prevent cycle from starting. Keep the key to yourself.

Regularly scheduled routine maintenance, as well as preventive maintenance, are

required for safe and reliable operation of this equipment. Routine maintenance

procedures are explained in this manual. For preventive maintenance, contact STERIS to

schedule preventive maintenance or obtain the necessary Maintenance Manual if

preventive maintenance is done by the Customer.

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

trained service personnel. Repairs and adjustments performed by unqualified personnel

or installation of unauthorized parts could cause personal injury, result in improper

equipment performance, void the warranty or result in costly damage. Contact STERIS

regarding service options.

1 — Safety Precautions

11

Operator Manual AMSCO®1215 11820860_D

WARNING

PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD

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 in eyes.

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 requires

by applicable safety regulations and standards such as those promulgated by the

Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

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

Never perform cleaning inside of washer/disinfector chamber until cycle has been

completed. If cycle has not been completed, contaminated debris or water remain in

bottom of chamber.

To open doors from inside washer/disinfector chamber, press Emergency Door Opening

pushbutton on chamber ceiling to instantly unlock door(s) and stop all

washer/disinfector functions. Push on door to exit chamber.

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

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.

1 — Safety Precautions

12

11820860_D AMSCO®1215 Operator Manual

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

Chemical are caustic and can cause adverse effects to exposed tissues. Do not allow

chemical 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 product. 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

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.

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.

1 — Safety Precautions

13

Operator Manual AMSCO®1215 11820860_D

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 chemical

specified in this manual. Always follow item manufacturer recommendations for

cleaning instructions.

Keep floor or floor ramps (accessory) in front of doors clean to prevent bottom door

gasket from premature wear.

Opening/closing door without compressed air to the equipment may result in premature

wear of door gasket bottom portion.

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).
