1. INTRODUCTION AND SETUP
The trophon Printer provides a label record of the most recent high level disinfection cycle directly from
the trophon device. The label is generated at the completion of each high level disinfection cycle and
can be placed directly on to a patient medical record or other documentation. Printed label records
remain legible for up to 7 years if stored as per the specifications outlined on the label roll packaging.
The printer is designed for use specifically with the trophon device. Accuracy and life time of records is
not guaranteed if an unapproved accessory (printer or label roll) is used or if records are stored outside
the storage specifications.
For any operation, fault or maintenance queries, please contact your customer service representative.
