share the standpipe.
Note 3: Waste connection should be adjacent to the machine and not behind it.
General Notes
Note 1: Washer-disinfectors, by their very nature, use water and chemicals and also generate heat. It is
important therefore that their surroundings (cabinetry and flooring) are of good quality and in good condition
to minimise the risk of damage, particularly where a ‘built in’ configuration is used.
Note 2: The HYDR
IM
G4 is also heavy! Consideration should therefore be given to the structural integrity of
the flooring (see “Technical Specifications Summary”)
Note 3: It is also important that the flooring is flat, and does not run out greater than 2mm front to back and
side to side over the footprint of the unit (see “Technical Specifications Summary”)
Note 4: From time to time, access will be required to change the air filter and/or service the machine. It is
important therefore to ensure that adequate space is available in front of the machine to allow easy removal
of the equipment. Ensure that when the machine is pulled out that the integrity of the services is not
compromised.
Optimum features should be as follows:

Water Quality
The quality of the water being used in the HYDR
IM
to clean the medical instruments is
very critical
to
achieving satisfying cleaning results and to protecting the instruments and the internal parts of the
HYDRIM
from deterioration. Dissolved solids in the water can cause stains, spots, and corrosion on instruments and
the internal parts of the HYDR
IM
.
Before installing and using the HYDR
IM
, SciCan recommends testing the water and recording the results for
future references here.
The following table lists the desired levels of the water parameters:
If the water hardness exceeds 250 mg/L, then external water softener may be required as the built-in water
softener may not be as effective at that level of water hardness.
In addition, if the test results of any of the water parameters exceed the stated problem levels, a full water
analysis is recommended and the installation of a water treatment system may be required.
The following table lists the desired levels of additional water parameters:
