Manual Pre-Cleaning of Attachments
Note: The instructions in this section are specific to the G1
Attachments and MA Bearing Sleeves listed in Table 1.
1. Preparation
• Assemble all necessary supplies including Attachment
Cleaning Brush (ACB), Small Diameter Cleaning Brush
(SDCB), sponge, lint-free cloth and soft bristle brush.
• Remove attachment and dissection tool from handpiece.
2. Rinse
• Rinse attachment under running cold deionized, distilled or
purified water for a minimum of 2 minutes.
• Manipulate any moving parts such as release sleeves under
running cold deionized, distilled or purified water to loosen or
remove gross soil.
• Use a sponge, soft lint-free cloth or soft bristle brush to assist
in removing gross soil.
Caution: Do not use high pressure water or air. Do not rinse
attachment with saline solution.
3. Clean
• Prepare cleaning solution using alkaline detergent or neutral
pH enzymatic detergent per manufacturer's directions for
correct temperature, water quality (i.e. pH, hardness) and
product concentration/dilution.
• Fully immerse attachment in cleaning solution in a suitable
container and manually agitate for 2 minutes.
• Use a sponge, soft lint-free cloth or soft bristle brush to
remove all visible soil.
• Gently use a brush to clean cannulations of attachment while
immersed in cleaning solution. Use ACB for all attachments
except MA-D20-G1 and Minimal Access Attachment Bearing
Sleeves. Use SDCB for MA-D20-G1 and Minimal Access
Attachment Bearing Sleeves. If attachment has a release
sleeve (Figure 1), move sleeve and brush exposed area.
Note: Brushes may be inserted from distal or proximal end of
attachments and bearing sleeves.
