Stryker Precision AC Bedienungsanleitung Seite 8

Warnings
• This device must be cleaned and sterilized prior to the first use
and after every subsequent use.
• Use only the sterilization cycles outlined in this document. Using
unspecified sterilization cycles can damage the device or result in
incomplete sterilization.
• Separate the camera head, coupler, and scope prior to cleaning,
disinfection, and sterilization. Failure to follow this instruction
will render the devices non-sterile. (Refer to the camera head and
scope product manuals for reprocessing instructions for those
devices.)
• Only couplers marked AUTOCLAVE can withstand steam
sterilization. Autoclaving couplers that do not bear this marking
will result in non-sterile product and product damage. Refer
to the "Product Description and Intended Use" section for the
location of the AUTOCLAVE marking on the Precision AC Coupler.
• To avoid health risks from aerosol contamination, wipe and brush
the device only when it is submerged in liquid.
• Wear appropriate protective equipment: gloves, eye protection,
etc.
Cautions
• Do not use brushes or pads with metal or abrasive tips during
manual cleaning, as permanent scoring or damage could result.
• To minimize galvanic corrosion, avoid soaking dissimilar metals in
close proximity.
Limitations on Reprocessing
• Do not cross-sterilize the device. Using multiple sterilization
methods can significantly reduce the performance of the device.
• Proper processing has a minimal effect on this device. End of life
is normally determined by wear and damage due to use.
• Do not leave the device in solutions longer than necessary. This
can accelerate normal product aging.
• If the coupler is cleaned with the automated cleaning method,
steam sterilization is recommended. Repeated automated
cleaning when sterilizing with Sterrad or V-Pro can degrade the
product's cosmetic appearance.
• Repeated sterilization via Sterrad 100NX can degrade the
product's cosmetic appearance.
• Damage incurred by improper processing will not be covered by
the warranty.
