Appendix D: Recommended S-2800/S-2800MRS disinfection protocol
It is Soniclean’s protocol to disinfect every irrigator supplied for trial at the end of every trial and
immediately prior to commencing the next trial. Soniclean or their distributors/agents will ensure this is
undertaken unless the trial organisation prefers to conduct the disinfection themselves.
The protocol to be followed:
1. Drain irrigator and turn off at power point.
2. Apply protective gloves (disposable non sterile latex gloves are suitable).
3. Remove tray; thoroughly wipe down all visible surfaces of the irrigator including the lid, tank, all
outside surfaces, hoses and attachments with disinfectant solution

.
4. Remove detergent hose and replace with disinfectant hose connected to bottle with slightly more
than required amount of disinfectant
1.2
. Insert tray.
5. Turn irrigator on at power point whilst holding down the program key (this will allow you to re-
program the parameters).
6. Change soap % parameter to required amount of disinfectant. Ensure irrigate function on.
7. Press “clean”. The irrigator will now add appropriate amount of disinfectant to tank and in doing so
will disinfect the internal plumbing fittings as well as irrigator ports.
8. Once clean is complete, disconnect disinfectant bottle and replace with bottle filled with clean
water.
9. Press “shift” and “refill” keys, hold for three seconds. This will cause irrigator to empty of water and
disinfectant and then to fill with water. This will rinse disinfectant out of the unit.
10. Repeat steps 5 and reprogram soap parameter to factory setting (i.e. 1.2)
11. Dry all external surfaces and pack unit ready for transport.
