US Instructions for use

POINT OF USE

Remove biological material from the instruments with a lint-free disposable wipe.
•
Do not allow contamination to dry on the device prior to cleaning/reprocessing.
•
• It is recommended that instruments are decontaminated as soon as possible following use.
Transport devices (instruments and implants) in the tray provided.
•
PREPARATION FOR DECONTAMINATION
• Disassembly of devices is not required
• Rinse instruments in warm (not hot) running water to remove blood, body fluids and remaining tissue.

MANUAL CLEANING

Equipment: Nylon soft bristle scrub brush (M16), pipe cleaner (2.7mm), lint-free cloth, irrigation syringe, warm
running tap water and reverse osmosis or deionized (RO/DI) water, bath ultrasonic cleaner.
Solutions: Neutral pH (<8.5) low foaming enzymatic detergent solution (e.g., Enzol®).
1. Rinse soil from devices with warm running tap water.
2. Prepare enzymatic detergents solution at the dilution recommended by the manufacturer in warm tap
water. Fresh solutions should be prepared when existing solutions become contaminated.
3. Submerge the devices in enzymatic solution and soak for a minimum of 3 minutes but no more than 5
minutes.
4. Scrub with a soft bristle brush to remove all visible soil from the surfaces, crevices and channels. Rotate
the devices while scrubbing paying particular attention to lumens, crevices, channels and hard to reach
areas. Ensure that hinged, articulating and threaded instruments are cleaned in both open and closed
positions.
5. Remove the devices from the enzymatic solution and place in RO/DI water in an ultrasonic unit and
sonicate for five (5) minutes.
6. Rinse each device with ambient tap water and holding devices under water for 30 seconds to ensure
lumens, crevices and channels are flushed with water. Use an irrigation syringe to flush water into lumens,
crevices and mating surfaces.
DRYING
• Remove devices from water and wipe dry with a clean, lint-free cloth then allow to air dry.
Load devices into the provided tray according to the diagram on the tray bottom. For automated
•
processing, transfer the trays to the washer/disinfector
NOTE: Surgical instruments made from stainless steel can corrode and must be dried to prevent corrosion.
AUTOMATED CLEANING
Equipment: An automated washer-disinfector that has been installed and qualified to ISO 15883-1 and ISO
15883-2.
Solutions: Prepare solutions per manufacturer's instructions. Use Neutral pH (<8.5) low foaming, enzymatic
wash solution (e.g., Enzol®), neutral pH, low foaming wash solution (e.g., Prolystica Neutral 2x), instrument
lubricant (e.g., Ultra Clean Surgical Milk) if capable.
NOTE: Explicitly follow washer/disinfector manufacturer's instructions for loading.
Motor Speed: High
