Do not exceed 140 °C during
reprocessing steps.
Highly alkaline conditions can damage
products with aluminum parts.
Complex devices, such as those with
tubes, hinges, retractable features, mated
surfaces, and textured surface fi nishes,
require special attention during cleaning.
Manual pre-cleaning of such device
features is required before automated
cleaning processing.
Avoid exposure to hypochlorite solutions,
as these will promote corrosion.
Repeated processing has minimal effects
on instrument life and function.
End of useful life is generally determined
by wear or damage in surgical use.
Carefully inspect instruments between
uses to verify proper functioning.
Send damaged instruments
to a supplier of authorized repair
or refurbishment services.
Clean instruments as soon as possible
after use. If cleaning must be delayed,
immerse instruments in a compatible
detergent solution to prevent drying and
encrustation of surgical soil.
Avoid prolonged exposure to saline
to minimize the chance of corrosion.
Remove excessive soil with
a disposable wipe.
