Important Information
Please Read Before Use
Intended Use
The GUSG25CER is designed to fit over the Medivators CER Endoscope Reprocessor.
Fumes from high-level disinfection solutions are drawn away from the user by a blower and
pass through a carbon filter system, which eliminates the fumes. No external ductwork is
needed.
Do not use the system for any purpose other than its intended use.

Precautions
•Refer to instrument manufacturer’s reprocessing instructions.
•If the system is used in a manner not specified in this instruction manual, the protection
it provides may be reduced.
•Allow the system to be operated only by those individuals trained in its proper use.
•The system is designed for indoor use only.
•Patient debris and disinfectants are hazardous. Wear personal protective equipment to
guard against dangerous chemicals and potentially infectious material. During cleaning
and disinfection, wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as eye wear,
face mask, moisture-resistant clothing and chemical-resistant gloves that fit properly
and are long enough so that your skin is not exposed. Always remove contaminated
personal protective equipment before leaving the reprocessing area.
•The system’s carbon filters must be replaced every six months or sooner depending on
use.
•Disconnect the system’s power before removing the top cover plate.
•Do not replace the system’s filters unless all disinfectant has been removed from the
system.
•For additional technical assistance, call CIVCO Medical Solutions at 1-800-445-6741.
Disinfectant Solution
In the United States, only High Level Disinfectants (HLD’s) registered with the Food and
Drug Administration (FDA) as “sterilants/disinfectants,” and used according to the time,
temperature and dilution recommended by the disinfectant manufacturer are to be used for
achieving high-level disinfection. These conditions usually coincide with those
recommended by the disinfectant manufacturer for 100% kill of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Contact your instrument manufacturer for names of specific brands of sterilant/disinfectants
that have been tested for compatibility with your automated reprocessing system.

1 Functions
1.1 General Information
The GUSVapor Management System eliminates fumes from high-level disinfectants. The blower
system pulls fumes into a patented carbon filter, where they are adsorbed and eliminated. Clean
air is returned to the room through the top louver panel.
The GUSVapor Management System is designed to remove fumes from:
•Rapicide
•Cidex and other glutaraldehyde based disinfectants
•Ortho-phthalaldehyde (OPA)
Warning: Failure to properly follow the instructions in this manual may result in
damage to the system and/or scopes.
1.2 Main Power/Ratings Plate
The main power switch is located on the inside front panel of the system. (See figure 2). The
switch is illuminated when the system is ON. The power cord plugs into a regular wall outlet. The

2 Installation and Setup
2.1 Upon Delivery
Inspect the G25CER for damage. If any components are damaged or missing, or if you have any
questions, call CIVCO Medical Solutions at 1-800-445-6741. Do not use the system.
2.2 Installation
NOTE: Two people are needed to lift the G25CER
1. Remove the GUSG25CER from the shipping box by gently lifting up by the two side straps.
2. Place the unit over your Automated Reprocessing System. There must be a minimum
clearance of 1” above the unit.
3. In most cases the water and drain line for the Medivators CER Reprocessor will be located
directly behind the unit. In the event that the drain and/or the water line are located to the
side of the CER Reprocessor, drill properly sized holes using a hole saw in the side panel(s)
where necessary to connect the water and drain hoses.
4. Plug the system into a standard wall outlet.
5. Turn the system ON (see Figure 2 on page 6).
6. Open the door to check that blower switches to high speed. When the door is closed, the
blower should switch back to low speed.
7. Remove the protective covering from the acrylic doors.
2.3 Installation – Optional Cart Mounting Plate
1 Prior to removing the Medivators CER Reprocessor from the cart you must:
a) Disconnect the power from the wall and the CER Reprocessor.
b) Shut off water supply and disconnect water line from the wall. Warning: this line contains
water, drain line into a container. Leave the water line connected to the CER
Reprocessor.
c) Disconnect the three ‘solution’ lines from the back of the CER Reprocessor; leave other
ends connected to the tanks.
d) The drain line can be left installed on the back of the CER Reprocessor.
2 Remove the CER Reprocessor from the cart.
3 Place Cart Adaptor Plate on top surface of the CER cart.
4 Line up rear hose cut outs on the cart with the Cart Adaptor Plate.
5 Locate the four holes on the left and right of the Cart Adaptor Plate base.
6 Drill a 3/16 hole through the top of the cart using one of the holes as a guide.

M0024_D 8 G25CER
7 Place an 8-32 X 5/8 screw (supplied) through the hole and tighten with nut supplied.
8 Making sure hose cutouts are still aligned, drill three remaining holes to locate the cart top.
Secure with 8-32 x 5/8 screws and nuts.
9 Place the CER Reprocessor on the base plate. Pass the three solution lines through the hole
in the base plate and connect to the back of the CER.
10 Drill properly sized holes using a hole saw, in the side panel(s) where necessary to connect
the water and drain hoses.
11 Using two people to lift the G25CER unit by its two straps and place the unit over your
Automated Reprocessing System.
12 Adjust position of CER Reprocessor to allow cover to open adequately and the G25CER
vapor management unit’s doors to fully close.
13 Reconnect water line and plug the CER Reprocessor. and the G25CER into a regular outlet
14 Turn the G25CER on (see Figure 2 on page 6).
15 Open the door to check that blower switches to high speed. When the door is closed, the

4 Troubleshooting Guide
If the GUSVapor Management System is not running, check the following:
1. Ensure that the unit is plugged into a live wall outlet.
2. Make sure the green On/Off switch is on. The switch will be illuminated when on.
3. Push the black ‘test’ button on the GFCI, located next to the On/Off switch. Then push the
red ‘reset’ button. This should restart the system and the green On/Off switch should now
be illuminated.
4. In the event that the system is still not working, you will need to check the fuse, which is
internally mounted.
5. Disconnect the plug from the wall outlet and remove the top louver panel and filter to
examine fuse. If damaged, replace with a standard 5x20 3.0Amp fuse.
6. If the System is still not working, call CIVCO Medical Solutions at 1-800-445-6741.
If you can still smell fumes from your high-level disinfectant while using the GUSVapor Management
System, check the following:
1. The system is being left on at all times while the reprocessor is in use.
2. Filters have been changed as recommended (every six months or sooner depending on
use).
3. Spills outside of the system are immediately neutralized and cleaned up.
4. No other disinfectants are being used in the room, including inside another Automated
Reprocessing System.
5. All personnel using the system have been fully trained on its use.
6. Verify that the system switches to the high-speed setting when you open the front acrylic
door.
If you need assistance, call CIVCO Medical Solutions at 1-800-445-6741.
