ucts).
The used program is suitable for the product
The used program contains sufficient rinsing cycles.
Only sterile or low-germ (max. 10 germs/ml) and low endotoxin (max. 0.25 en-
dotoxin units/ml) water (e.g., purified water/high purity water) is used for rins-
ing.
The air used for drying is filtered (oil-free, low in particles and germs).
The washer-disinfector is regularly maintained and checked.
When choosing the cleaning agent system, make sure of the following:
• It is generally suitable for the cleaning of instruments made of metal and plas-
tics.
• If no thermal disinfection is used, additionally a suitable disinfectant with test-
ed effectiveness (e.g., VAH (Association for Applied Hygiene) / DGHM - or FDA/
EPA (environmental protection agency) approval/clearance/registration or CE-
marking) is used and that this is compatible with the cleaning agent used.
• The chemicals used are compatible with the products.
Instruction
1. Place tube set and membrane into the cleaning and disinfecting equipment.
Make sure the tube set and membrane do not touch one another. Use a tub-
ing connector to connect all lumina of the tubing set to the rinsing connec-
tors of the washer-disinfector.
2. Start the verified thermal disinfection program (see Vario TD Program from
Miele; A0 value > 3000 or - for older devices - at least 5 min at 90 °C/194 °F).
3. Remove the tube set from the washer-disinfector after the end of the pro-
gram.
4. If necessary, check and dry the tube set and the membrane (see chapter
9.5.2.4 "Visual Inspection" and chapter 9.5.2.5 "Subsequent Drying").
Manual Cleaning and Disinfection
Manual cleaning and disinfection should only be used if an automated process is
not available.
When choosing the cleaning and disinfecting agent to be used, make sure of the
following:
• It is generally suitable for the cleaning or disinfection of instruments made of
metals and plastics.
• A disinfectant with tested effectiveness (e.g. VAH/DGHM or FDA/EPA approv-
al/clearance/Registration or CE marking) is used which is compatible with the
cleaning agent used
• The chemicals used are compatible with the products.
Combined cleaning/disinfecting agents should not be used if possible. Combined
cleaning/disinfecting agents can be used only in cases of very low contamination
(no visible impurities).
It is imperative to comply with the concentrations, temperatures, and exposure
times, as well as the post-rinsing requirements specified by the manufacturer of
the cleaning agent and disinfectant. Use only freshly prepared solutions, only
sterile or low-germ (max. 10 germs/ml) and low endotoxin (max. 0.25 endotoxin
units/ml) water (e.g., purified water/high-purity water), or only a soft, clean and
lint-free cloth and/or filtered air for drying.
Instruction
1. Place the tube set and the membrane in the cleaning bath for the specified
exposure time of the cleaning agent so that they are sufficiently covered and
do not touch each other.
2. Rinse all lumina of the products at least five times at the beginning and at the
