IMPORTANT! It is the responsibility of the customer to meet ALL requirements to ensure
proper installation of the ADVANTAGE PLUS®Endoscope Reprocessor.
Water Supply refer to Appendix G
WARNING: An emergency eye wash valve WILL NOT meet the water temperature
specications for the ADVANTAGE PLUS Endoscope Reprocessor and should not be used.
• The water supply must be connected to a thermostatic mixing valve set to provide an on-demand water temperature of
35°C ± 2°C (95°F ± 4°F). One mixing valve per reprocessor is REQUIRED.
o The mixing valve must be accessible and located near the pre-lter to aid in adjustment. The mixing valve must include
a thermometer followed by a bypass valve to a drain.
o The ADVANTAGE PLUS Reprocessor requires a thermostatic mixing valve with a temperature range of 35°C ± 2°C
(95°F ± 4°F). It is the responsibility of the facility to purchase, install and maintain this device. PRODUCT BULLETIN:
SUGGESTED LIST OF THERMOSTATIC MIXING VALVES FOR ADVANTAGE PLUS ENDOSCOPE REPROCESSOR
(Appendix E)
o Facility water pressure and temperature can vary greatly. Most thermostatic mixing valves require a pressure differential
of less than 10 PSI (0.70 bar) and a minimum temperature differential of 45°F (7°C) between the hot and cold-water
supplies for optimum operation (see specications of the chosen mixing valve). Therefore, Cantel Medical requires
the addition of pressure regulators on each of the hot and cold-water supply lines prior to entering the thermostatic
mixing valve as well as temperature and pressure gauges on both the hot and cold supply lines. It is the responsibility
of the facility to purchase, install and maintain these devices. Temperature and pressure gauges on the incoming water
lines, provide a means of monitoring the water system of the facility should water temperature issues arise. Consult a
qualied plumber to assist in determining the proper regulators and temperature and pressure gauges to use.
NOTE: Mixing Valve should be located within 4 feet of the reprocessor and be easily accessible
to operators for adjustments.
NOTE: After the mixing valve and before the pre-lter assembly, a path to a drain with a shutoff
valve MUST be installed so the operator can run water through the mixing valve if the water
temperature falls too low and needs to be brought to temperature. This may occur primarily in
colder winter climates after an extended time of non-use.
• The incoming waterline must be a minimum of 1/2” ID providing a ow rate of 1.32 GPM and a Dynamic water pressure
between 40 to 87 PSI at the rst gauge of the Pre-Filtration Unit.
• Water consumption per side is approximately 8 gallons/cycle for a standard endoscope disinfection cycle and 13 gallons/
cycle for an endoscope disinfection cycle with a detergent wash.
o Water consumption for the ADVANTAGE PLUS Endoscope Reprocessor will vary depending on the incoming water
temperatures. The reprocessor will extend the initial ush to allow the water to come up to temperature to meet the
minimum required temperature of the disinfectant.
