The Reliance Vision Single-Chamber Washer/ Disinfector is intended for use in the cleaning and intermediate level disinfection of soiled reusable utensils, trays, glassware, bedpans and urinals, rubber and plastic goods, simple hard-surfaced rigid surgical instruments (such as forceps and clamps), theater shoes and other similar and related items found in healthcare facilities.
Sterile processing departments are challenged with achieving higher productivity levels than ever before. As a result, Customers need a powerful washing and disinfection system that can process high volumes of medical devices, utensils and delicate instruments quickly, efficiently and safely. Customers also need a system that is simple to operate and maintain.
Introducing the Steris Vision Washer and Disinfector, a total integrated washing solution from STERIS. Featuring the newest innovations in the single-chamber market, the Reliance Vision combines the latest technology with a groundbreaking design to provide maximum throughput and unparalleled performance.
Washer is provided with two vertical airtight sliding doors to facilitate accessory rack or basket entering and exiting the chamber. Doors are automatically operated by pneumatic cylinders. Doors are made of double tempered glass to allow the operator to view the chamber interior with the doors closed and, while the cycle is in progress, to safely touch the door.
The access panels permit easy access to the washer/ disinfector components for maintenance purposes.
The printer allows the operator to print process time, date and washer/disinfector malfunction data. Specific information is printed from the Cycle mode (cycle in process parameters and alarms), Service mode (washer/disinfector configuration values and setup) and Supervisor mode (supervisors list and supervisor setup).
Chemical injection pumps (three) are included in the standard washer/disinfector with up to two additional chemical injection pumps (accessories) available if desired. The pumps are located in a separate room and connected to washer/ disinfector with up to 50’ (15 m) of piping. Pumps allow the use of the Prolystica Ultra Concentrate chemicals. Each ultra concentrated product is 10 times the concentration of a traditional product, therefore 10 times less chemical is injected to properly process the cycles. The peristaltic pumps automatically add a selected quantity of detergent. The pumps give flexibility to wash with a neutral process, an enzyme process, a dual alkaline/enzyme and enzyme/neutralizer process or to vary the chemical used depending upon the load. One pump is dedicated to lubricant or rinse aid to be injected during the Thermal Rinse phase. Pumps automatically add:
An air inlet pre-filter and a High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filter are located behind upper access panel on unload side of washer/disinfector. Chamber incoming air passes through the HEPA filter to prevent any contamination of the load.
The chamber is constructed of argon-welded 16-gauge #304 stainless steel (No. 4 finish). The chamber is of sanitary-type design for complete drainage. Some horizontal fixed surfaces are sloped, overlapping metal sheets are minimized to reduce hard-to-clean locations, round corners ease the self-cleaning of the sump. The bottom of the chamber is clear of any parts. The chamber includes a light on the chamber ceiling to illuminate the chamber interior.
A removable debris screen is located in the chamber sump and can be accessed through the chamber load door for maintenance purposes. The debris screen prevents large debris from entering the piping system and pump. The screen is provided with a handle and is easily removed for cleaning under running water.
Rotary spray arm assemblies (two) are located in the chamber (one at the top and one at the bottom) and are positioned to reach all surfaces of the load. These redesigned rotary spray arm assemblies are easily assembled/disassembled and can be accessed through the chamber load door. The Total Coverage spray arm design provides a wider, more uniform area of coverage as compared to standard spray arms.
Stainless-steel pump is an open impeller pump powered by a dual-speed motor to allow two ranges of flow rate/pressure. High pump speed provides the equivalent capacity of an 11.7 hp (8.7 kW) motor and low pump speed provides the equivalent capacity of a 2.95 hp (2.2 kW) motor. Pump motor is a TEFC class H (totally enclose fan cooled) motor, electropolished and of sanitary features and is equipped with an overload protection and sealed bearings (not requiring periodic lubrication) with up to 100 psig (689 kPa) at pump outlet. Pump is of 316L stainless-steel construction.
Water Filtration System includes a unique self-cleaning centrifugal filter. After water passes through the sump filter (stopping larger debris and loose instrument parts) it continues through a centifugal filter (removing smaller debris). This debris does not return to wash chamber or potentially plug spray arm assemblies and is automatically flushed the washer/disinfector between every cycle.
Heating coils (steam or electric) at the bottom of the chamber (sump) raises and maintains water temperature up to 180°F (82°C) during the Wash phase and up to 194°F (90°C) during the Thermal Rinse phase.
Double-walled, insulated construction of chamber exterior reduces heat loss and noise level (as low as 58.2 dB) to the work area.
A vented system is supplied enabling chamber vapors to be exhausted to the building exhaust system through a 3.0" (76 mm) OD vent connection located on top of the washer.
The drying system is a uniquely designed four-sided inflow drying pattern to produce a high-flow air curtain. This air-curtain provides broad, efficient, drying while using a combination of recycled and non-recycled air within wash chamber. Air is manifolded and circulated through the piping and accessory providing an energy efficient system ensuring a complete chamber air coverage. Fresh air is drawn through a HEPA filter. The drying system includes a 3 HP (2.2 kW) blower to remove vapor from chamber prior to the doors opening. Three heater elements totaling 15.8 HP (11.8 kW) heat maintain chamber air temperature.
Decontamination cycle is provided for weekly cleaning of the chamber, piping and accessories. Decontamination cycle is programmed at factory and cannot be modified by the operator.
Top utility connections facilitate installation. All utilities (except drain connections) are connected on the top of the washer/disinfector.
IMPORTANT: STERIS does not intend, recommend or represent in any way that this Reliance Vision Single-Chamber Washer/ Disinfector be used for the terminal disinfection or sterilization of any regulated medical device. The Reliance Vision SingleChamber Washer/Disinfector is intended only to perform an initial step in the processing of soiled, reusable medical devices. If medical devices are contacting blood or compromised tissues, such devices must be terminally processed in accordance with device manufacturer's instructions and/or Good Hospital Practices before each use in human patients.
Once cycle is selected, the washer/disinfector automatically processes the load through the following standard phases (when using Prolystica Ultra Concentrate):
