GUS Disinfection Soak Station™

Principle of Operation
Your probe is suspended in the soaking container, preventing damage to the sensitive tip. Fumes are drawn into
the unit away from the operator and into the filter.
One of the containers is used for clean rinse water. This ensures that when the probe is removed from the unit for
the final rinse, no high-level disinfectant will drip or off-gas.
Two blowers draw the fumes through the carbon filter where they are effectively neutralized and clean air is
returned to the room. No ductwork or external venting is required.
Safety Precautions
Disconnect power before replacing filter or when servicing the unit.
Refer to the MSDS of the high-level disinfectant that you are using for additional safety precautions.
Environmental Conditions
lFor indoor use only.
lAltitude up to 2,000 meters.
lTemperature range: 5°C to 40°C.
lMain supply voltage fluctuations not to exceed +/- 10% of the nominal voltage.
