PART C – OPERATION
SECTION C1: Loading the trophon NanoNebulant Disinfectant Cartridge
The cartridge door opens automatically, DO NOT force it open.
A trophon NanoNebulant disinfectant cartridge needs to be inserted into the trophon2 device before a
HLD cycle can commence.
Refer to the trophon NanoNebulant IFU for detailed instructions on how to scan and log, insert, or
remove disinfectant cartridges.
Inserting a Disinfection Cartridge
The screen on the trophon2 device will automatically prompt you to scan (if AcuTrace is enabled) and
insert a new disinfectant cartridge, when required. Follow the onscreen instructions and refer to the
trophon NanoNebulant IFU.
SECTION C2: Logging the trophon Chemical Indicators
No other chemical indicators are approved for use in the trophon2 device.
Check expiry date of the trophon Chemical Indicators. Expired Chemical Indicators cannot
be used to run disinfection cycles.
If AcuTrace is enabled, log the new batch of trophon Chemical Indicators:
1.
Select Menu
2.
Follow the onscreen instructions.
Note: Chemical Indicators must be scanned at the start of every new box. As this is a manual process
it is important for users of trophon2 to complete this step each time a new Chemical Indicator box is
opened. Chemical indicators must be stored in their original packaging and not be shared across trophon
devices outside of it's original packaging.
Note: If you are running trophon2 Software Version 1.4 and later, trophon2 will notify the user during
the first cycle of the day if the trophon Chemical Indicators logged in the system are 30 days from expiry.
Users will be reminded again 5 days before expiry and everyday thereafter.
These reminders will not occur on earlier software releases. Do not use Chemical Indicators
after expiration date. Confirm Chemical Indicators are within expiry before use.
If you are running trophon2 Software Version 1.4 and later, disinfection cycles will not run
after the Chemical Indicators have expired. Log trophon Chemical Indicators with valid
expiry date to continue use of the trophon2 device.
