MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES

Improper, ineffective, and insufficient maintenance can greatly reduce
the life of an instrument and will invalidate the instrument's warranty.
We cannot make any statement about how long an instrument will last.
Designed and crafted to exacting specifications, instruments will perform for
a reasonable number of years when the following steps are observed:
Protect Instruments: The most effective method of dealing with instrument
problems is to prevent them from occurring. The use of "treated water",
careful preliminary cleaning, the use of neutralized pH solutions, adherence
to manufacturer's instructions, and visual inspection, will help to keep
instruments performing accurately and cosmetically free of troublesome
stains. It is important to act quickly should a problem arise. Delay will
compound the problem and irreparable harm may result.
• Certain compounds are highly corrosive to stainless steel and will cause
serious damage despite the passivated protective surface. If instruments
are inadvertently exposed to any of the following substances, they should
be rinsed immediately with copious amounts of water.
Instruments should never be exposed to:
Aqua regia
Ferric chloride
Hydrochloric acid
The following substances should be avoided whenever possible:
Aluminum chloride
Barium chloride
Bichloride of mercury
Calcium chloride
Carbolic acid
Chlorinated lime
Dakin's solution
• Any kind of corrosion will lead to rust on steel. Because rust particles can
be transferred from one instrument to another, corroding instruments
should be removed from service to prevent the formation of rust on other
instruments.
• Instruments must be sterilized in the open position or disassembled as
Iodine
Sulfuric acid
Mercury chloride
Potassium permanganate
Potassium thiocyanate
Saline
Sodium hypochlorite
Stannous chloride
