Packaging Individual: Pack silicone tubes in individual packaging for sterile items.
Sets: Sort silicone tubes on trays intended for this purpose or place them on allpurpose sterilization
trays.
Sterilization Autoclave in vacuum autoclave at max. 135°C for at least 5 minutes. When sterilizing several items
during one sterilization cycle, do not exceed the maximum sterilizer load. A drying cycle must be
added in case of autoclaves without a post-vacuum function. Allow the silicone tubes to dry in the bag
for at least one hour at room temperature with the paper side facing upwards.
* Temperature exposure times are based on country-specific guidelines and standards.
Storage No special requirements. If sterilized silicone tubes are not used immediately after sterilization, the
material packaging must be labeled with the sterilization date. Including a sterility indicator is rec-
ommended.
The effectiveness of the sterilization instructions provided above for reprocessing this medical product has been validated by Nouvag AG. The user is responsible for
ensuring that the sterilization procedure performed achieves the required results. This requires validation and routine monitoring of the procedure. The staff member
who completes the procedure bears sole responsibility for any deviation on his part from the instructions provided. Deviations necessitate revalidation of the effec-
tiveness of the procedure as well as of the technical resilence of the reprocessed items with regard to the modified sterilization process.
• The tube set Ref. 6024 (optional) is delivered in sterile condition. It is determined for single use and may
not be resterilized!
• Contaminated tube sets have to be disposed of expertly!
8.5 Cannulas and cannula handlebar
The optional cannulas and the cannula hadlebare are in contact with the patient and therefore have to be repro-
cessed adequately.
The reprocessing instructions are in the operation instructions, delivered together with the cannula and handlebar.
