EN – ENGLISH

Care and Cleaning

After each use, disassemble all components of the
system and thoroughly clean using a damp cloth
and neutral pH detergent. Remove all traces of
blood and debris and dry completely. The entire
Budde Halo retractor system (REF# A1040) should
be steam sterilized before each use.
NOTE:
Do not disassemble retractor arm assembly
(REF# S438A1011). Loosen tension on the retractor
arm's adjustment knob, which will allow for
ample separation of the individual ball joints for
appropriate cleaning.

CAUTIONS
• Alkaline and highly acidic detergents and
solutions cause damage to the devices.

require particular attention during cleaning.
• Pay special attention to the water quality used
throughout reprocessing. Hard water can damage
the surface of the equipment. Avoid using
hard water. Instead use purified water unless
otherwise specified.

devices. Product life is normally determined by
wear and damage due to use.

perform routine inspections (twice yearly is
recommended). See contact information below.
