Loading ophthalmic instruments
For validation purposes please make sure that you follow the
loading instructions given on the template.
To minimise the risk of injury, the mobile unit should be loaded
from the back forwards and unloaded in the reverse order.
The wash water used for reprocessing narrow lumen instru-
ments needs to be filtered. The injector manifold must be fitted with
tubular filter A 800. The tubular filter is supplied with its own fitting
instructions.
Before connecting hollow instruments, please make sure that all
hollow sections and cannulae are free of blockages. Otherwise the
cleaning solution will not be able to access all areas properly.
The cannulae and other hollow instruments should be flushed
through with a spray of water as soon as possible after use on pa-
tients, preferably whilst still in the theatre. This is to prevent residual
blood or medication causing a blockage in the narrow lumen and
endangering internal cleaning.
Any hollow items that have become disconnected from their in-
jector nozzles, adapters or holders during processing must be re-
processed.
Instruments must not touch each other during reprocessing.
Non-Miele mesh trays, cassettes and other containers can be used
for reprocessing instruments in Miele washer-disinfectors if they
have been risk assessed and specified as suitable for such use and
if reprocessing procedures have been successfully validated with
their use.
