cutting tubes are designed for a service life of 20 cycles.
At the location of use
Remove surface soiling with a disposable cloth/paper towel.
Storage and transport
No special requirements – avoid long periods before preparation to prevent the danger of drying-out and
corrosion, maximum time between use and preparation is two hours.
Preparation for cleaning
Disassemble seal unit into component parts under running water (see 6.6 Disassembly of gear unit and
morcellator) Disassemble gripper and remove seal caps. Wash visible soiling from all components.
Manual cleaning
• Use disinfectant solution, neutral or alkaline cleaning agents, suitable cleaning brushes and deionized
water. Wipe all surfaces thoroughly with disinfectant (exposure time as specified by the disinfectant
manufacturer).
• Immerse all parts in alkaline cleaning agent (exposure time as specified by the cleaning agent manufac-
turer). Use suitable brushes that can reach all parts of the lumen for cavities.
• Rinse all part thoroughly under running water.
Automatic cleaning and disinfection
Equipment: Cleaning/disinfection device with a special load carrier which facilitates the connection of parts
with cavities to the cleaning/disinfection device and the rinsing of channels. Use a fine-mesh basket for
small parts. Use neutral or alkaline cleaning agents at the recommended concentration.
•
Place the cutting tubes, protective tubes, myoma drills, grippers and ergonomical handle in the load car-
rier (ensure that the channels can be rinsed).
•
Place seal holder, membrane screw, membrane seal, roof shaped seal, Obturators and seal caps of grip-
per in the fine-mesh basket and close the basket.
•
Set a cleaning cycle that offers sufficient cleaning and rinsing. Perform the final rinse with deionized wa-
ter.
•
Perform a 10-minute rinse cycle at 93°C to facilitate thermal disinfection.
•
When removing the products, check whether visible contamination still remains in the gaps and the
grooves. If necessary, repeat the cycle or clean manually.
