Disassembling the product before carrying out the reprocessing procedure
►
Disassemble the product immediately after use, as described in the respective instructions for use.
►
With insufflation valve 2: Open stopcock 2a.
Preparations at the place of use
►
If applicable, rinse non-visible surfaces preferably with deionized water, with a disposable syringe for example.
►
Remove any visible surgical residues to the extent possible with a damp, lint-free cloth.
►
Transport the dry product in a sealed waste container for cleaning and disinfection within 6 hours.
Preparation before cleaning
►
Dismantle the product prior to cleaning, see Disassembling.
Cleaning/disinfection
Product-specific safety notes on the reprocessing procedure
Damage to the product due to inappropriate cleaning/disinfecting agents and/or
excessive temperatures!
►
Use cleaning and disinfecting agents according to the manufacturer's instruc-
tions which
CAUTION
– be approved for plastic material (thermoplastics, silicon) and high-grade
steel,
– do not attack softeners (e.g. in silicone).
►
Observe specifications regarding concentration, temperature and exposure
time.
►
Do not exceed the maximum permitted cleaning temperature of 94 °C.
►
Use suitable cleaning/disinfecting agents if the product is put away in a wet condition. To prevent foam forma-
tion and reduced effectiveness of the process chemicals: Prior to mechanical cleaning and disinfection, rinse the
product thoroughly with running water.
►
Carry out ultrasound cleaning:
– as an effective mechanical supplement to manual cleaning/disinfecting.
– as a pre-cleaning procedure for products with encrusted residues, in preparation for mechanical cleaning/
disinfecting.
– as an integrated mechanical support measure for mechanical cleaning/disinfecting.
– for additional cleaning of products with residues left after mechanical cleaning/disinfecting.

Manual cleaning/disinfection
►
Prior to manual disinfecting, allow water to drip off for a sufficient length of time to prevent dilution of the dis-
infecting solution.
►
After manual cleaning/disinfection, check visible surfaces visually for residues.
►
Repeat the cleaning /disinfection process if necessary.

Phase I
►
Fully immerse the product in the cleaning/disinfectant for at least 15 min. Ensure that all accessible surfaces are
moistened.
►
Clean the product with a suitable cleaning brush in the solution until all discernible residues have been removed
from the surface.
►
If applicable, brush through non-visible surfaces with an appropriate cleaning brush for at least 1 min.

Inspection, maintenance and checks
Damage (metal seizure/friction corrosion) to the product caused by insufficient
lubrication!
►
Prior to function checks, lubricate moving parts (e.g. joints, pusher compo-
nents and threaded rods) with maintenance oil suitable for the respective ster-
CAUTION
ilization process (e.g. for steam sterilization: Aesculap STERILIT® I oil spray
JG600 or STERILIT® I drip lubricator JG598).
►
Allow the product to cool down to room temperature.
►
After each complete cleaning, disinfecting and drying cycle, check that the product is dry, clean, operational, and
free of damage (e.g. broken insulation or corroded, loose, bent, broken, cracked, worn, or fractured components).
