Chemical agents
Problem How to resolve it
The ingredients in chemical agents
have a strong influence on the longevity
and functionality (throughput) of the
dispensing system. The dispensing
system (hoses and pumps) should be
set up for a particular type of chemical
agent.
General types:
–
alkaline to pH neutral products,
–
acidic to pH neutral products
–
hydrogen peroxide.
–
Observe the chemical agent
manufacturer's instructions and
recommendations.
–
Carry out a regular visual check of
the dispensing system for any
damage.
–
Check the flow rate of the dispensing
system regularly.
Chemical agents can damage
elastomers and plastics in the
washer-disinfector and accessories.
– Observe the chemical agent
manufacturer's instructions and
recommendations.
– Carry out a regular visual check of
any accessible elastomers and
plastics for damage.
Hydrogen peroxide can release large
quanitities of oxygen.
– Only use approved processes such
as OXIVARIO or OXIVARIO PLUS.
– The wash temperature must be less
than 70 °C when using hydrogen
peroxide.
