Replacing the HIP™ Ultra cleaning solution
Only replace the cleaning solution with HIP™ Ultra cleaning solution, which is used in dilute form as a detergent for the cleaning of surgical instruments in the HYDRIM washer-disinfector.
It is a colourless and almost odourless liquid that is completely soluble in water. Some precautions must be taken to safely handle this chemical. For more information, see section 3.2 Handling and Installing the HIP™ Ultra cleaning solution of the Hydrim C61 Washer User Manual.
To avoid spillage, replace the solution container only when the message appears and be sure to wear gloves.

HTM states that this must be done on a weekly basis, however always consult the manufacturer as they may request different requirements. In regards to the Scican C61 this should be done monthly.
HTM states that this must be done on a quarterly basis, however always consult the manufacturer as they may request different requirements. In regards to the Scican C61 this should be done monthly.
In respect of the Scican C61 the HIP solution should last approximately 18 cycles, depending on water quality. Your unit will inform you when these need changing.
This will be down to your individual needs. Your data logger will hold more than 7 year’s worth of data so a constant back up is achieved. It is good practice to try and download the data on a weekly basis so that the practice has a back up on a central PC for inspection purposes.

Air filter
When the message “Replace air filter” appears, the HEPA filter is in need of changing.
To reset the drying counter:
The filter must be replaced every 750 drying cycles. The unit will continue to run if the filter is not replaced, but you will notice less than optimal drying performance.
Bacteriological filter
Models fitted with a lumens cleaning system (LCS) have a biological filter that must be replaced every 500 cycles or if dirty. To change the biological filter, follow these steps:
Filter maintenance
Inspect the coarse and fine filters in the bottom of the chamber daily for debris and clean if necessary. To clean, remove the filter (turn the metal nut at the centre front of the filter to release it), rinse under a tap and reassemble. Ensure that the filter is firmly locked into position when replaced.
Wash arm maintenance
If you see that the wash arms are not turning easily, remove the arm(s) as needed – excessive removal of wash arms can reduce service life. Both the upper and lower arms are pressure mounted. To remove the upper arm, pull down and to remove the lower arm, pull up. Rinse under a tap, clear obstructions from outlet holes and reassemble.
To clean outer surfaces and the decal covering the touchscreen, use a soft cloth moistened with soap and water or a surface disinfectant. Do not use harsh cleaning chemicals. To clean the chamber, use the “Cleaning” function available in the user menu with 0.5 L of vinegar or citric acid in the chamber.
Every 25 cycles, the user will be reminded to run a chamber cleaning cycle. Press OK to continue the selected wash cycle but remember to run a chamber cleaning cycle at the next available opportunity.
If preparing the unit for transport or storage, waste water should be removed from the sump. Waste water in the unit may contain biological contaminants.
If the message “Preventative Maintenance Required. Call for Service” appears, the annual maintenance is required. To continue using the HYDRIM, press OK. Call our servicing team on 0800 028 4749 as soon as possible. The annual maintenance should be done after 365 days have elapsed since the initial installation or since the last service call was performed.
The following outlines the recommended regular maintenance to be performed by the user and technicians for the HYDRIM C61wd G4 washer-disinfector.
To ensure the unit's ongoing cleaning efficacy, SciCan recommends observing the following periodic testing protocols.
This outlines the minimum requirements to ensure that the equipment performs to specification. In some regions, local/national guidance documents may require additional testing. Please contact our Decontamination Specialists or your local authority for details.
Installation, commissioning, annual servicing must be undertaken by one of our technicians. Failure to maintain this equipment may invalidate the results of the following testing regime.
The recommended periodic testing protocols are listed in the table below:
Tests to be performed by the user:
Door lock check
This test is to ensure that the door cannot be opened while a cycle is running or a cycle will not start with the door open. To check that these features are working correctly, attempt to open the door using the handle immediately after a cycle has started.
Caution – DO NOT attempt this when the wash arms are rotating and/or the water is above ambient temperature.
The door should not open. When you attempt to start a cycle with the door open, the cycle should not start. If the unit fails this test, stop using it immediately and call our service team on 0800 028 4749.
Door seal check
Visually check the door seal for debris or wear. If the seal is worn or damaged, call our service team on 0800 028 4749.
Load carrier check
Visually check load carriers (trolleys) for wear and tear, damage and that the runners move freely over their full range.
Chamber filter check
Remove, visually check and clean as described above.
Load check
Visually inspect each load for residual soil. Washers are designed to ensure that the surfaces of instruments are free from debris that may compromise the sterilisation process. A visual check of the instruments processed in each load should be undertaken prior to sterilisation to ensure that no residual debris is present on the instrument.
If debris is still apparent, the instrument should not be considered clean and should be reprocessed through the HYDRIM again prior to sterilisation.
Some setable materials such as cements and composites, if set on the instrument will not be removed in a HYDRIM. If these materials are noticed on the instrument then abrasive removal may be required.
