2.3 Chemicals and

Cycles

Maximizing the efficiency and the life of the washer/disinfector is predicated on the type of water and the cleaning chemistries used.

The corrosive effects of water (deionized, soft and hard water) and contaminants found in water (such as hardness cations, corrosive anions, metals, etc.) can shorten the useful life of both instrumentation and equipment. Hard water can result in scale formation as well, which can deposit on both equipment and instrumentation. It is also important for the cleaning chemistries utilized to have low and controlled foam to maintain the pressure in the washer/disinfector for adequate impingement and effective rinsing.

Recommendations for cleaning chemistries should take into consideration the make-up water characteristics, soil load and the type and composition (stainless steel, aluminum, plastics, etc.) of instrumentation or utensils to be cleaned. Cleaning chemistries used should maintain effectiveness regardless of water quality, type or the contaminants contained in the water and they should be formulated to help prevent corrosion of instrumentation and equipment due to the use of water in the cleaning process.

2.3.1 Using Prolystica Ultra

Concentrate Chemicals
