caught in drapes (such as tex-
tiles).
►
►
Start the motor powering the attachment at mod-
erate speed.
►
To avoid slipping, apply only moderate pressure.
►
To avoid tool breakage, do not bend the tool.
►
Cool the tool during operation. This will improve
chip removal and reduce the risk of necrosis.
12. Validated reprocessing pro-
cedure
12.1 General safety information
Note
Adhere to national statutory regulations, national and
international standards and directives, and local, clini-
cal hygiene instructions for reprocessing.
Note
For patients with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), sus-
pected CJD, or possible variants of CJD, observe the rel-
evant national regulations concerning the reprocessing
of products.
Note
Mechanical reprocessing should be favored over man-
ual cleaning as it gives better and more reliable results.
Only use the product under
vision.
Do not let the tool come
into contact with drapes
(such as textiles) during
operation.
Note
It should be noted that successful reprocessing of this
medical device can only be guaranteed following prior
validation of the reprocessing method. The opera-
tor/reprocessor is responsible for this.
The recommended chemical was used for validation.
Note
If there is no final sterilization, then a virucidal disinfec-
tant must be used.
Note
For the latest information on reprocessing and material
compatibility see also the Aesculap extranet at
https://extranet.bbraun.com
The validated steam sterilization procedure was carried
out in the Aesculap sterile container system.
12.2 General notes
Dried or affixed surgical residues can make cleaning
more difficult or ineffective and lead to corrosion.
Therefore, no more than 6 hours should be left between
use and preparation, pre-clean temperatures >45 °C
liable to fusing should not be employed and disinfec-
tants liable to fusing (aldehyde or alcohol-based)
should not be used.
Excessive neutralizing agents or basic cleaners may
result in a chemical attack and/or fading and the laser
marking becoming unreadable either visually or by
machine in case of non stainless steel.
On stainless steel, residues containing chlorine or chlo-
ride (such as surgical residues, drugs, saline solutions in
water for cleaning, disinfection and sterilization) may
lead to corrosion (pitting corrosion, tensile corrosion)
and thus to the destruction of the product. These must
be removed by rinsing thoroughly with demineralized
water and then drying.
Perform additional drying, if necessary.
