It is the operator's responsibility to ensure
that the standard of disinfection in thermal
as well as chemo thermal procedures is main-
tained (in accordance with § 18 IFSG) by car-
rying out suitable validation tests. These
procedures should be checked on a regular
basis, either thermo-electrically using loggers,
or bacteriologically with bio indicators.
The operator must pay particular attention to
maintaining the correct parameters in the
procedure, including temperature and with
chemo thermal programmes the chemical con-
centration used.

only be guaranteed when continuity is
complete between the appliance and an ef-
fective earthing system which complies with
local and national regulations.It is most impor-
tant that this basic safety requirement is regu-
larly tested by a qualified electrician. The ma-
nufacturer cannot be held liable for the
consequences of an inadequate earthing sy-
stem.

fety features and controls on the machine.
Where there is any damage to the machine
or to the cable insulation the machine must
not be used until it has been repaired.
Any removable outer panels must be in
place, and all moving or electrical parts
shielded before the machine is operated.
The machine is only completely isolated
from the electricity supply either when
switched off at the wall isolator, or the mains
fuse is withdrawn from the socket.
Repairs to machines operating with
electricity, gas or steam should only be un-
dertaken by a suitably qualified service engi-
neer to ensure safety. Unauthorised repairs
