4. Rinse the reusable tips and handle thoroughly with warm purified water; actuate the handle while rinsing.
5. Place reusable tip components and handle in a suitable validated washer/disinfector. Follow the
washer/disinfector manufacturer's instructions for loading the instruments for maximum cleaning exposure.

7. After cleaning, thoroughly inspect the reusable tips and handle for residue biologic soil or detergent. If
contamination is still present, repeat the cleaning process.
C. Lubrication
After cleaning and prior to sterilization, manually lubricate moving parts with a water-soluble lubricant (such as
PRESERVE ® ) in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
D. Inspection
Inspect the reusable tips.
1. Check for damage to the mating features or the cutting surfaces. If damaged, the reusable tips should not be
used again.
2. Check for corrosion or rust. Do not use the reusable tips again if corrosion or rust is present.
3. If the tips are damaged and cannot be used, dispose of the tips in accordance with your facility's guidelines
for biohazard sharps materials.
Inspect the handle.
1. Check the spring for damage. If damaged, return the handle for service.
2. Check the tip release levers and the safety-locking lever (see figure 1) for function by depressing and
releasing them. If any of the levers fail to depress (Note: the bottom tip release lever will only depress if the
safety-locking lever is depressed) or do not spring back after release, return the handle for service.
3. Check the function of the crossbar and handle by squeezing the handle. If the crossbar or handle do not
move freely, return the handle for service.
4. Check for corrosion or rust. Do not use the handle again if corrosion or rust is present.
Note: End of life for stainless steel or other metal surgical instruments is normally determined by wear and
damage due to the intended use or misuse, and not reprocessing.
