The Verification Report is generated from the information entered in the Clean Parameters set-up. If a CIP system cleans 20 individual tanks, if required a separate set of parameters can be entered for each separate item of plant cleaned even though all items are cleaned using the same CIP programme sequence.

Geographically a farm of 20 tanks cannot all be ‘nearest’ the CIP set. There will probably be several seconds difference in the CIP journey time to each tank as CIP solution has further to travel.

Being able to have a separate set of parameters for each individual item cleaned provides a ‘correction factor’ to cater for the slight time difference it will take for the CIP medium to arrive and subsequently return from each tank.

Once a clean has been completed and a Verification Report generated, the system does not permit amendment to the PASS, CAUTION or FAIL classification. The parameters set against each item of plant can be changed but these amendments will only apply to subsequent CIP programmes carried out. The changes will not apply retrospectively to any clean that has already been completed.

Should changes be made to any parameter, and this change modifies values such that a previous FAIL classification would now receive a PASS or CAUTION classification, the value(s) on previous reports, causing the FAIL, (highlighted in RED) will change to BLUE.

However, this is the only change(s) that will occur, all In-Site Reports (e.g. Graph, cost, etc.) will remain with the FAIL classification and the actual values out of spec. will still be available for interrogation in the Verification History reports.

To modify the Verification Setup requires the correct security software key to be fitted to the In-site system. Each key has a unique code number and this is shown on the Viewer display. This key number, together with date/time is 'stamped' in to the Verification Setup report when any changes are made to the original setup values.

The Clean parameters permit tolerance levels (minimum and maximum) to be set for each parameter and confirms what was actually achieved. If any of the tolerance levels are exceeded, the system will automatically identify the area(s) of failure.

The PASS/CAUTION/FAIL parameters can be stringent or set to be fairly forgiving, each site deciding their own tolerance levels.

Typically parameters encompass:, per 10 separate stages

FLOW RATE - insert low and high tolerances per stage

TEMPERATURE -insert low and high tolerances per stage

DETERGENT % - insert low and high tolerances per stage

DURATION - insert minimum and maximum time periods per stage

The In-Site system can monitor 10 separate analogue signals during each clean. Values  actually achieved (average and maximum) will be shown against each separate stage of the cleaning programme (up to a maximum of 10 stages, e.g. pre-rinse, detergent wash, etc.).

In addition to reporting on analogue values, the Verification Setup can have benchmark values entered for Cost, CO2 emissions and Microbiological Results. Once a clean has been completed, the Viewer will identify if the resultant clean had values (costs,etc.) that exceed benchmark values.
