RelianceWasher/Disinfectors are intended only toperform an initial step in the reprocessingof soiled, reusable medical devices. Ifmedical devices will be contacting bloodor compromised tissues, such devicesmust be terminally reprocessed inaccordance with current Good HospitalPractices before each use in humanpatients.NOTE: Always refer to instrumentmanufacturer for recommended cleaningprocedures.The Reliance 333 Washer/Disinfectorfeatures three factory-set cycles:INSTRUMENT 1, MICRO 2 (microsurgery),and MIS 3 (minimially invasive surgery)to accommodate typical loads andprocessing requirements. Each cyclecan be programmed to include up toeight separate treatments.2

Standard available treatments include:• two pre-washes• one pulsed enzyme wash• one pulsed enzyme rinse• one wash• one rinse• one thermal rinse (with lubricant)• (an optional drying phase is alsoavailable.)Once a cycle is selected, the washer/disinfector automatically processes theload through the pre-programmed treatments.Cycle values are locked in andcannot be changed until the cycle iscompleted.Three additional cycles (CYCLE 4,CYCLE 5, and CYCLE 6) may be programmedto suit specific needs.CYCLE 6 may be programmed as a specialDRYING cycle if the optional dryingsystem is ordered (see Options). ADECONTAM cycle is provided to preventthe formation of biofilm or scale inthe wash chamber and piping without theneed for additional cycle programming.On initial startup, pressing the ON/OFFpushbutton will place the control and unitin the operating mode. (It is recommendedthe unit be left on at all times,except for major service or maintenanceprocedures.)When the desired touch pad symbol ispressed to start a cycle, the washer/disinfector will automatically process theload through the following factory-settreatments (see Table 1, page 5):• PRE-WASH 1: Sump fills with cold tapwater from the building supply line;load is pre-washed for 45 seconds(factory set), then water is sent todrain.• PRE-WASH 2: Sump fills with cold tapwater from the building supply line;load is pre-washed for three minutes(adjustable from three to 15 minutes),then water is sent to drain.• PULSED ENZYME:Wash: Sump fills with enzyme detergent-injectedhot tap water from thebuilding supply line; load is pulsed forfour minutes (adjustable from four to15 minutes), then solution is sent todrain.Rinse: Sump fills with hot tap waterfrom the building supply line. Enzymerinse time is 20 seconds (factory-set).Solution is sent to drain.• WASH:Wash: Sump fills with detergentinjected hot tap water from the buildingsupply line (minimum 110°F[43°C] and heated up to 140°F[60°C]). Load is sprayed for three minutes(heated three to 15 minutes),then solution is sent to drain.Rinse: Load is pulsed with hot tapwater from the building supply line.Rinse time is 20 seconds (factoryset).• THERMAL RINSE: Sump fills with hotpurified water from the building supplyline, or from optional purified watergenerator. Solution is heated to 180-203°F (82.2-95°C). Purified water issprayed on the load until the presettemperature is reached. Lubricant isadded to the purified water duringfilling (if selected). Once the presettemperature is reached, solution issprayed over the load for one minute(adjustable from one to 15 minutes),then solution is sent to drain.NOTE: Items processed during theThermal RInse phase will reach amaximum of 183°F (83.8°C) if thermalrinse temperature is set at 180°F(82.2°C), or 206°F (96.6°C) if thermalrinse temperature is set at 203°F (95°C).• Optional DRYING: The drying temperaturecan be preset LOW or HIGH.Drying time is five minutes (adjustablefrom one to 60 minutes). Door can beopened at any time during the Dryingphase.NOTE: Items processed during theDrying phase will reach a maximumtemperature of 200°F (93°C) if dryingtemperature is set at LOW, or 240°F(115°C) if drying temperature is set atHIGH.OPTIONSLoad Lifting Door (automated door liftmechanism) facilitates loading andunloading of manifolded accessoryracks. When the door is open, the loadlifting door allows the operator to raise orlower the door by pressing the DOOR UP/DOOR DOWN toggle switch.
