Inspection, Functional Check, Maintenance; Inspection And Functional Testing - KLS Martin group L1 Rib Gebrauchsanweisung

Sequence:
1. Place disassembled or opened products into the W/D. Ensure that the products do not touch each
other.
Allow active flushing by establishing a connecting to the flushing port of the W/D.
2. Start program.
3. Disconnect the products (if required) after program end and remove from the WD.
4. Check and pack products as soon as possible after removal.
Proof of the basic suitability of the products for effective mechanical cleaning and disinfection was provided
by an independent, officially accredited and recognized (§ 15 (5) German Medical Devices Act) test
laboratory using the W/D G 7836 CD (thermal disinfection, Miele & Cie. GmbH & Co., Gütersloh, Germany)
and the pre-cleaning and cleaning agent Neodisher MediClean forte (Dr. Weigert GmbH & Co. KG,
Hamburg, Germany). The procedure described above was taken into account during the test procedure.
Metallic coated surfaces (e.g. SolidBlack) and all titanium components may show material changes after
only a short while if alkaline cleaning agents or acidic neutralizers are used. These are usually grayish or
brownish minor discolorations of the coated surface or a fading of the anodized titanium. According to
current research, this does not affect the functionality. Hydrogen peroxide must not be used on SolidBlack
coatings. A high degree of material preservation is achieved by using pH-neutral treatment agents.

5.5.1

Inspection and functional testing

Whether or not the product can be used any further shall be confirmed by successful inspection of the
product. The inspection release and packing into a sterile barrier system releases the product for the next
application.
• The products must be macroscopically clean, i.e. free from visible contamination, after each cleaning
process.
• At the end of work, check the instruments, and in particular their connections, for fractures, cracks,
deformation, damage and proper function.
• DIN 96298-3 (Medical instruments - Terms, measuring methods and tests, Part 3: Tests) can be used as
support for functional testing.
• Worn, corroded, deformed, porous or otherwise damaged products must be replaced. Alternatively,
appropriate measures can be initiated (e.g. surface treatment, repair), see also the recommendations by
the Instrument Processing Working Group (AKI): http://www.a-k-i.org
The following evaluation criteria for the functional check and visual inspection of surgical instruments are
based on many years of experience. Observe the recommendations provided. These are performed at the
Gebrüder Martin Service-Point.
