4 Pages

ONE-YEAR RESERVOIR MAINTENANCE PROTOCOL The one-year maintenance solution is a 0.3% hydrogen peroxide/distilled water solution. The below protocol should be followed annually for the Level 1® Fast Flow Fluid Warmer (H-1200, H-1025, H-1000, H-1100), as well as for the initial set up in your facility.  Level 1® Fast Flow Fluid Warmer To prepare 0.3% hydrogen peroxide/distilled water solution for the reservoir, mix 140 ml of 3% hydrogen peroxide solution and 1,260 mL of distilled water. 1. Empty reservoir of current solution 2. Place a container under the drain valve of the Level 1® Fast Flow Fluid Warmer. 3. Drain the re-circulating solution by turning the drain valve clockwise 90 degrees. 4. When all of the re-circulating solution has drained from the unit, close the drain valve. 5. Refill the unit with 1.4 liters of fresh 0.3% hydrogen peroxide/distilled water solution. 6. Insert a D-series disposable set (D-50/DI-50, D-60HL/DI-60HL, D-100/DI-100, D-300/DI-300) into the Level 1® Fast Flow Fluid Warmer. If you use a Level 1® Fast Flow Fluid Warmer for urological and/or gynecological procedures, insert an IR-series disposable set (IR-500, IR-600/IRI-600/IRI-600B, IR-700, IR-40). 7. Turn the unit on and run for a 30-minute disinfection period. 8. Switch the unit off, discard the disposable according to established hospital procedures and empty the reservoir of the re-circulating solution by turning the drain valve clockwise 90 degrees. When all of the re-circulating solution has been drained from the unit, close the drain valve. 9. Refill the reservoir with 1.4 liters of fresh 0.3% hydrogen peroxide/distilled water solution. The Level 1® Fast Flow Fluid Warmer is now ready for use. During the 12-month period, any solution lost from the reservoir through the disposable must be topped off with the 0.3% hydrogen peroxide/distilled water solution.
