Aesculap STERILCONTAINER Bedienungsanleitung

STERILCONTAINER™ System
INTRODUCTION:
The Aesculap STERILCONTAINER System is a reusable rigid container system used for the packaging, transportation, and storage of
instruments prior to, during, and after sterilization. It consists of various sizes of lids and bottoms, with assorted accessories such as
baskets, filters, indicator cards and tamper proof locks.
The Aesculap STERILCONTAINER System is an alternative to the traditional woven or nonwoven wrapping materials used to package
surgical instruments and other supplies for sterilization.
CARE & HANDLING:
The Aesculap STERILCONTAINER System is manufactured of specially formulated aluminum alloy. The surface is protected by a
layer of anodized oxide to prevent corrosion. If properly cared for using the instructions in this booklet, your Aesculap
STERILCONTAINER can provide many years of instrument protection and sterility assurance.
DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS, METAL BRUSHES OR ABRASIVE CLEANING PADS. USE OF ABRASIVE PRODUCTS
CAN CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE TO STERILCONTAINER SURFACES. USE OF ABRASIVE CLEANERS OR PADS WILL
RESULT IN WARRANTY EXCLUSION.
CLEANING:
Recommended Cleaners:
Use only mild alkaline, sodium carbonate-free, neutral pH (7) detergents to clean effectively without causing damage to the anodized
layer of aluminum. If in doubt, contact the detergent manufacturer or supplier to determine suitability for use in cleaning the Aesculap
STERILCONTAINER.
Pre-Cleaning Preparation:
1. Remove the lid from the container bottom.
2. Remove the basket and any instruments from the container.
3. Remove the lid retention plate(s).
4. Remove the container bottom retention plate(s) if using perforated container bottoms.
5. Discard the disposable filter(s).
6. Remove all processing indicators and disposable locks.
NOTE: Aesculap disposable non-woven filters are designed for one-time use only and should be discarded after each processing
cycle.
Cleaning:
Manual Cleaning:
1. Use a soft sponge and a mild detergent and clean the STERILCONTAINER and all the components under water.
2. Rinse thoroughly under running water to remove all detergent residue, as residual detergents can affect the anodized
oxide layer of aluminum.
3. To remove sterilization adhesive tape remnant of surface abrasions, we recommend the use of Aesculap-Eloxal Cleaner
(Catalog number JG601). This is a non-abrasive cleaner. Apply the cream with a soft dry cloth and rub to polish the surface.
Thoroughly rinse the STERILCONTAINER under running water to remove all residual cleaning cream.
4. Thoroughly dry the STERILCONTAINER and all components with a soft dry cloth.
Note: Wear proper protective personal attire when cleaning the STERILCONTAINER.
