To reprint the last disinfection cycle log on the MEDIVATORS® ADVANTAGE PLUS® system, follow these steps:
1. Double-click the printer icon in the system tray to redisplay the current cycle log. 2. If needed, access all completed cycle logs through the Management program: - Minimize all running programs to display the Windows desktop. - Double-click the MEDIVATORS ADVANTAGE PLUS System ADV icon to open the folder. - Double-click the Management icon. - Log in to the Management system. - Click on the "General" tab in the Management screen sidebar. - Click on the "Cycles" icon.
This allows viewing and reprinting of previous cycle logs as required.

The ADVANTAGE PLUS system is indicated to provide high level disinfection of heat sensitive semi-critical endoscopes and related accessories. Manual cleaning of endoscopes is not required prior to placement in the ADVANTAGE PLUS system. The endoscopes must be pre-cleaned immediately after use.
Regulatory Compliance The MEDIVATORS ADVANTAGE PLUS Automated Endoscope Reprocessor complies with EN ® ® 60601-1-2 Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Standards. The reprocessor is ETL and cETL certified and listed for safety per IEC Standard IEC 61010-1, UL Standard UL 61010-1 and Canadian Standard CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 61010-1 for laboratory equipment.

• For peracetic acid (PAA) disinfectant handling guidelines, refer to the American National Standard recommended practice titled, Chemical Sterilants and High Level Disinfectants: A Guide to Selection and Use (AAMI TIR7:1999) and/or Safe Handling and Biological Decontamination of Reusable Medical Devices in Health Care Facilities and in Nonclinical Settings (AAMI/ANSI ST35:2003). The documents are available from the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation.
Prior to undertaking any service or maintenance operations or when resetting the GFI, ensure that the MEDIVATORS ADVANTAGE PLUS System is disconnected from the main power supply. If service or maintenance operations are to be conducted on the water system, ensure that the MEDIVATORS ADVANTAGE PLUS System is isolated from the main water supply.
Potable water is the minimum standard, Medivators recommends the use of a high quality water pre filtration system that filters incoming water to a minimum of 0.1 micron. A typical water pre-filtration system, such as the one offered by Medivators, filters incoming water through a 1 micron, 0.4 micron, and 0.1 micron series of filters.

Endoscope Cleaning and Testing The MEDIVATORS ADVANTAGE PLUS Automated Endoscope Reprocessor may be used with all ® ® makes and sizes of flexible, immersible endoscopes that can be internally and externally disinfected. Proper endoscope disinfection is required because endoscopes have multiple internal valves and channels that have the potential to harbor microorganisms that could cross-contaminate patients.

This configuration provides a backup of the entire computer system. The MEDIVATORS ADVANTAGE PLUS endoscope reprocessor uses MICROSOFT SQL Server 2008 Express to generate the database files. The databases should be backed up on a regular basis. Although the mirrored hard drives do provide protection against a single hard drive failure, regular backups of the database to a remote location (CD, memory stick or remote server) will protect against database corruption or complete system failure.
