Initial Observations

Case Medical initially installed ______cleaners at ___ sinks, ___ sonic and ___ automated washers. Record observations here: ______For example,

(Upon arrival one sonic was drawing twice the amount of detergent needed and was adjusted to the recommended dilution rate of 0.25 oz/gal. The second sonic was drawing an excessive amount of product and could not be adjusted as the injector was malfunctioning. Our plan was to install in the second sonic once the sonic was repaired and properly calibrated. We observed that staff was applying many pumps of detergent into the sink and that the detergent was a very dark blue and devises within couldn’t be seen.

TOSI wash indicators as well as Case Soil indicators were not clearing at the automated washers indicating failure when the existing competitor product was used.)

As a worst case scenario for validation of sonic and washer effectiveness, the wash indicators were used when a full load of soil trays were processed. Case Medical protein detector was also applied to determine the extent of non visible protein residuals.

Post-Installation assessment

Observations

For example:

(Adjustments were made to reduce the amount of product drawn. Temperature was adjusted for the detergent wash cycle in the automated washer. Cycle times were increased to attain a successful outcome. All TOSI and Case Soil wash indicators cleared. The amount of product dispensed at the sink was reduced by a factor of 4 (from 1 oz/gal to 0.25 oz/gal). The product used at the SONIC A was reduced by a factor of 4 (from 1 oz/gal to 0.25 oz/gal).

Note: SONIC B was not installed as it was drawing an uncontrolled amount of product. Once the injector is repaired and calibrated we will install.)

AUTOMATED WASHERS (NEW SETTINGS) Note: Temperature and time were adjusted to clear wash indicators.

For Example: (In total, ______additional minutes were required or reduced to achieve a successful outcome.)

New settings are notated below:

Washer #1 – UNIT # ______Washer settings: 1. MOTOR SPEED = ______2. PRE-WASH1 a. RECIRCULATION TIME = _____ min b. WATER TEMP = _____ 3. ENZYME WASH a. SOAKING TIME = _____ min b. WATER TEMP = _____ 4. PUMP 1 – WASH 1 (DETERGENT WASH) a. RECIRCULATION TIME = _____ min b. HEATED AT = _____ F 5. RINSE 1 a. RECIRCULATION TIME = _____ min b. WATER TEMP = _____ 6. THERMAL a. RECIRCULATION TIME = _____ min b. HEATED AT = _____ F 7. DRYING a. TIME = _____ min b. HEATED AT = _____ F

In summary:

A significant amount of product was reduced for the sink and sonic at a significant cost savings. Where automated washers were not passing the wash indicators at all, after installation all coupons cleared and no detectable protein residue was found.

No changes were made to existing settings. If adjustment is needed, identify. For example: (Temperature was increased for the detergent wash cycle. Seven minutes were added in total to the automated washer to pass replicate cycles. All coupons tested after processing with protein detector showed no blue coloration, the marker for retained protein residuals.)

All product and equipment were adjusted for maximum effectiveness and cost savings. A projected savings of $______per year over existing product was calculated based on current spend, dosing and volume of product required.
