The lack of fibrin on most of the
ProFormanceTM indicates that, in most cases, the chemical activity is good. Fibrin is
being dissolved but some of the water-soluble proteins are remaining. This
usually is due to an obstruction to spray action or the like. Look for
deposits clogging the spray arm orifices. Check for inefficient spray arm
action due to poor rotation possibly due to damaged or worn bearings
(bushings). Check for overloading.
On rare occasions it is possible that
the proteins on ProFormanceTM could have been denatured and rendered insoluble.
This happens if the ProFormanceTM is heated too high in the initial rinse phase.
Another possibility is denaturing from alcohols during pre-soaking. Some
enzyme detergents have a high concentration of alcohol. When exposed to
100% strength enzyme cleaner that contains alcohol, the albumin in
ProFormanceTM (and in blood for that matter) may become denatured and rendered
insoluble. Follow manufacturer's directions regarding dilution of enzyme
cleaners for pre-soaking.
Make sure the initial rinse phase is
with cold or cool tap water.
Check the spray pressure. Low spray
pressure will not provide enough mechanical scrubbing to clean efficiency.
Adjust spray pressure higher if possible. Check for problems with the
spray pump. |
