When using an Automated Instrument Washer, the initial rinse water should not exceed 45°C (113°F) and temperatures should remain significantly below this level. At 45°C, blood quickly denatures and becomes highly insolvent. If the washer utilizes an enzyme detergent, it is important that the temperature remain within the optimal range (typically 100°F - 125°F). If the washer utilizes detergent, neutral pH or high alkaline, temperature is also important, with a minimum temperature typically being above 150°F. The TempaChek™-90 is an irreversible thermometer which measures and records temperatures from 90° - 140°F. By monitoring the thermometer during the washer cycle, the proper cold water rinse, enzymatic soak and detergent wash stages can be monitored.
