Now that you are familiar with the products, let’s discuss the process!
Where are the cleaners used? • SuperNova and Case Solutions are designed for each step in the decontamination process • Begin at point of use in the OR with the precleaners: PentaPrep foam or spray on soiled instruments keeps them moist and begins the breakdown process • Manual cleaning at the sink utilizing the sealed automated dispensing system • Automated cleaning at the washer/decontaminator, ultrasonic and cart washers • Maintenance of the decontam area: restoring stainless steel surfaces with SchmutzOff, Ink and Tape Remover and combating noxious odors with BioGone
Instructions for install at the sink • 1.Case Medical’s SuperNova sink installation kit includes a proportioner with slide bar, a universal adapter, spare metering tip and hose. • 2. An attached plastic metering tip will be in place in the stem in the back of the metal proportioner. A spare metering tip is included in the package. The color of the metering tip corresponds to the dilution: bronze for .1 and tan for .25.
3. A color coded cap with flow control corresponds to the colored label on the bottle to ensure proper product choice, flow control and dilution. The pink cap is used for the SuperNova.1 multi-enzymatic cleaner at the sink. 4. Remove the white shipping cap from the bottle. Puncture the seal by pushing the lower hose on the color coded cap through the seal into the bottle. 5. Slide the opposing end of the hose over the stem on the top of the color coded cap. A silicone sealant should be used when attaching the hose to the stem of the cap for best flow.
6. Remove the current aerator at the sink faucet and replace with the SuperNova sink proportioner. An adapter may be needed for proper fit. You may use the universal adapter in you installation package. • 7. Attach the proportioner to the universal adapter and tighten. Note: If the universal adapter is not needed, attach the proportioner directly to the faucet. • 8. SuperNova’s external alarm bracket may be mounted on the wall near the sink or placed on the counter. Before After
