SECTION B5: INCOMPLETE OR FAILED CYCLES
This section describes the most common situations in which a cycle has not been completed
satisfactorily and the required actions to take (see also PART C – TROUBLESHOOTING).
B5.1 Mains Power Failure
If the mains power supply to the device is lost while in operation, the current cycle will not
complete.
 If the probe is not urgently required, wait for power to come back on. As soon as
power is restored the machine will safely recover. Follow the on screen prompts to
remove the probe.
 If the probe is urgently required, and power cannot be restored, follow section B5.3.
 Discard the used Chemical Indicator and replace with a new one. Repeat the
disinfection cycle.
B5.2 Cycle Fault (during or at the end of the cycle)
If a problem occurs during or at the end of the cycle, a cycle fault will be detected. Follow
the on screen instructions:
 Screen message: DISINFECTION CYCLE FAILED. UNLOCK. A beep will be heard.
 Press the soft key button underneath UNLOCK to unlock the chamber door.
 Screen message: DISINFECTION CYCLE FAILED. REMOVE AND WIPE PROBE.
 Wear new gloves. Remove probe immediately and discard the used Chemical
Indicator and replace with a new one. Close chamber door and repeat the
disinfection cycle.
 In case of a repeated fault or serious malfunction, contact your customer service
representative citing the error message shown on the screen.
NOTE: Do NOT attempt to use the device.
B5.3 Manual Door Lock Override
Use ONLY in EXCEPTIONAL circumstances when the probe is locked in the chamber and must
be urgently retrieved for use.
WARNING: THERE MAY STILL BE DISINFECTANT IN THE CHAMBER and CHAMBER SURFACES MAY
STILL BE HOT. Personal protective equipment such as gloves should be worn to avoid contact
with disinfectant.
By turning off the power and turning it back on, the device will attempt to recover. At this
time if the probe still cannot be removed then the following may be undertaken:
1. Turn off device
2. Insert the tip of a screwdriver into the slot behind the chamber door handle gently until
it stops. (see Figures 13 and 14)
3. Lift the screw driver in an upwards motion
