Cleaning of the MAYFIELD 2 Skull Clamp
Care should be taken to read completely this section on Cleaning, Disinfection
and Decontamination of your MAYFIELD 2 equipment. It is important to know
what method of cleaning/decontamination is needed based on what type of debris
exposure the equipment has received. This is especially important when there is the
possibility of exposure to a persistent pathogen that is resistant to normal cleaning
and disinfection methods. Equipment with this exposure should be processed
per the steps in the Decontamination Section. Integra does not make any claims
regarding the effectiveness of the decontamination processes listed in deactivating
pathogens, but rather, we are indicating that the device can withstand these
procedures with minimal loss of function.
The MAYFIELD 2 Skull Clamp must be thoroughly cleaned after each use. Scrub each component
with a soft brush. The Skull Clamp can withstand detergents that fall within pH ranges of 3-11. The
directions for use for the selected detergent should be followed for this device. Clean thoroughly to
remove any traces of blood and/or debris and to prevent such blood or debris from interfering with
function or movement. Repeating this washing process is recommended until the device is visibly
clean. Rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove all traces of detergent.
NOTE: The use of highly alkaline agents may cause some components to tarnish and/or corrode. While
this does not affect the performance of the device we recommend that you use an acidic neutralizing
agent immediately after each use as this will help keep your device looking like new.

Manual Cleaning

Following these steps is recommended:
1. Separate the Ratchet Extension from the body portion of the Skull Clamp.
Visually confirm that there are no Skull Pins in the rocker arm or Torque Screw. It is
recommended to completely remove the ratchet extension from the clamp before
removing Skull Pins.
2. Remove the Torque Screw from the Ratchet Extension.
3. Wash and rinse all parts as indicated above.
4. Dry all components with a soft dry towel.
5. After components are totally dry, re-assemble the components, leaving the Skull Clamp ready
for its next use.
• The Index Knob should be in the UNLOCKED position.
