Cleaning of Cabinets IFU (Instructions For Use)
In accordance with Standards EN16442:2015, the cabinet cleaning cycle frequency is stated by the
manufacturer. Cabinets must be cleaned in no more than a seven-day repeated cycle.
The cabinet lighting will provide a visual warning when cleaning is due. The cabinet will illuminate in BLUE
color lighting, 24 hours before the Clean Due expiry time.
A Clean Due notification is displayed on the Cabinet Clean Button located on the Main Screen of the
Cabinet Control Screen. The Clean Due notification indicates the weekly cleaning Expiry Time. The cabinet
should be cleaned within 24 hours (one day) of when the cabinet lighting has turned BLUE.
The Cabinet Cleaning Function can be reset at any time by Swiping a Staff Barcode ID Tag on the scanner
located under the Cabinet Control Screen, then pressing the Cabinet Clean Button located on the Main
Screen.
Cabinet interior & exterior surfaces to be cleaned using soft, clean cloths & non-abrasive
cleaning/disinfecting products that do not contain ammonia or alcohol. Any abrasive cleaning product or
cloth/scourers will permanently mark the surface and should be avoided.
Do not allow electrical or electronic components, to become wet or splashed with water or other fluids.
Any fluids issuing from recently loaded scopes should immediately be wiped up.
Note: Liquids issued out of an endoscope at time of loading into the drying cabinet, usually indicates that
the scope has not been suitably purged or that the drying cycle of the washer has not been set to a suitable
run time.
Note: Frequently loading very wet scopes into drying cabinets may result in increased bioburden forming
on scope cabinet surfaces and is to be avoided.
Scope handling, preparation and loading techniques should be explored by HSO (Health Service
Organisations) to determine a best practice formula that suits the equipment and practices in the
decontamination department. Please consult with an Authorised Distributor for guidance.
