Clinical use
2.1
Product description
2.1.1 Operating principle The compressed-air hoses convey compressed air from the compressed-air source to the pneumatic motor. The compressed-air hoses have an instant-cutout coupling. This coupling prevents the escape of compressed air when the pneumatic motor is detached from the hose. Compressed-air hoses with exit air recycling Some hoses are equipped with an exit air recycling conduit. In these hoses, the supply hose is embedded in an additional exit air hose, which takes the exit air away from the operating field. The are two exit air recycling systems: ■ Aesculap-Dräger system for complete exit air recycling: The exit air is channeled back from the O.R. into the central gas supply system. In this way, air turbulences and adverse effects on the climate and hygiene in the O.R. are avoided. ■ Shrader coupling and others, no complete air recycling: The exit air escapes within the O.R. through an open hose end or a diffuser.
Coil-shaped compressed-air hose Compressed-air hose GA460R is coiled into a helix shape. to save space when the hose is put down on the instruments table. This also reduces the risk of contamination in the sterile area, as the compressed-air hose does not "sag".
2.2
Areas of use and limitations of use
2.2.1 Intended use Compressed-air hoses are used for connecting pneumatic driven devices to a central gas supply system or to compressed air cylinders. They are suitable for use with compressed air or nitrogen. 2.2.2 Indications Note The manufacturer is not responsible for any use of the product against the specified indications and/or the described applications. The different compressed-air hoses are used in the following applications: ■ GA460R, GA461R, GA463R-GA466R and GA468R for motors, foot control and pneumatic driven devices ■ GA505R-GA507R, GA513R and GA523R for microLAN-/miniLAN/HiLAN motors ■ GA087, GA194R and GA195R as extension hoses ■ GA099 and GA206R to connect motors, motor hoses, Unitrac, Kairison with compressed air hoses. 2.2.3 Contraindications No known contraindications.

Preparation
Non-compliance with these rules will result in complete exclusion of liability on the part of Aesculap. ► When setting up and operating the product, adhere to: – national regulations for installation and operation, – national legal regulations pertaining to compressed-air supply, – national regulations on fire and explosion protection. 2.4.1
Compressed-air supply
Operation with compressed-gas cylinders according to DIN EN ISO 11117 The following conditions must be met: ■ Compressed air or nitrogen is used ■ An adequate stock of full gas cylinders is in place ■ Cylinder pressure reduced to operating pressure of 6 bar to 10 bar through a pressure reducer (e.g., GA099) ► Operating pressure must be read from the scale on the device and set with the T-screw.
DANGER Danger of fire and explosion when operating devices that run on oxygen! ► Only use compressed air or nitrogen to power pneumatic motors. DANGER Operating pressures in excess of 10 bar will damage the motor system! ► Set an operating pressure of between 6 bar and 10 bar. DANGER Damage to persons and/or property due to the placing of the hose! The user may injure the patient with an unintentional movement due to shock. ► Do not damage the pneumatic hose. ► Ensure annual repair. Operation with central gas supply according to DIN EN ISO 5359 The gas supply must provide clean, dry air and must be set as follows: Nominal operating pressure
6 bar
Maximum allowable operating pressure
10 bar
Maximum allowable backup pressure in exit air conduit while motor is operating (with exit air recycling)
0.5 bar to 0.7 bar
Minimum gas-supply delivery
300 l/min
When operating the motor with compressed gas cylinders, the exhaust air is not removed from the operative field, but instead emerges from the end of the hose, away from the operative site.
2.5
System set-up
CAUTION Lack of performance of the pneumatic motor/bursting of damaged compressed-air hoses! ► Lay compressed-air hoses only through unobstructed areas. ► Do not squeeze or block open hose ends or diffusers. ► Do not coil up compressed-air hoses to tightly (minimum coil diameter 20 cm). ► Do not kink, squeeze or clamp compressed-air hoses. ► Verify that the compressed-air hoses are not damaged (e.g. by scalpels) or loaded with sharp objects (e.g. cloth clips). 2.5.1 Connecting the accessories Combinations of accessories that are not mentioned in the present instructions for use may only be employed if they are specifically intended for the respective application, and if they do not compromise the performance and safety characteristics of the products. ► Please address your B. Braun/Aesculap partner or Aesculap Technical Service with any inquiries in this respect; for a contact address, see Technical service. 2.5.2 Connecting the compressed-air supply ► Make certain that the requirements concerning the central gas supply or the compressed-gas cylinder are fulfilled, see Compressed-air supply. ► Keep to the possible combinations of motor, compressed-air supply and hose variants (see foldout pages) and choose the appropriate combination. Long hoses may cause a backup of exhaust air and thus a loss of performance of the pneumatic motor. ► Keep hose lines as short as possible. ► Use a compatible extension hose if necessary.

Validated reprocessing procedure
3.1
General safety instructions
Note Adhere to national statutory regulations, national and international standards and directives, and local, clinical hygiene instructions for sterile processing. Note For patients with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), suspected CJD or possible variants of CJD, observe the relevant national regulations concerning the reprocessing of products. Note Mechanical reprocessing should be favored over manual cleaning as it gives better and more reliable results. Note Successful processing of this medical device can only be ensured if the processing method is first validated. The operator/sterile processing technician is responsible for this. Note If there is no final sterilization, then a virucidal disinfectant must be used. Note For up-to-date information about reprocessing and material compatibility, see B. Braun eIFU at eifu.bbraun.com The validated steam sterilization procedure was carried out in the Aesculap sterile container system.
3.2
General information
Dried or affixed surgical residues can make cleaning more difficult or ineffective and lead to corrosion. Therefore the time interval between application and processing should not exceed 6 h; also, neither fixating precleaning temperatures >45 °C nor fixating disinfecting agents (active ingredient: aldehydes/alcohols) should be used. Excessive measures of neutralizing agents or basic cleaners may result in a chemical attack and/or to fading and the laser marking becoming unreadable visually or by machine for stainless steel. Residues containing chlorine or chlorides e.g. in surgical residues, medicines, saline solutions and in the service water used for cleaning, disinfection and sterilization will cause corrosion damage (pitting, stress corrosion) and result in the destruction of stainless steel products. These must be removed by rinsing thoroughly with demineralized water and then drying. Additional drying, if necessary.
6
Only process chemicals that have been tested and approved (e.g. VAH or FDA approval or CE mark) and which are compatible with the product’s materials according to the chemical manufacturers’ recommendations may be used for processing the product. All the chemical manufacturer's application specifications must be strictly observed. Failure to do so can result in the following problems: ■ Optical changes of materials, e.g. fading or discoloration of titanium or aluminum. For aluminum, the application/process solution only needs to be of pH >8 to cause visible surface changes. ■ Material damage such as corrosion, cracks, fracturing, premature aging or swelling. ► Do not use metal cleaning brushes or other abrasives that would damage the product surfaces and could cause corrosion. ► Further detailed advice on hygienically safe and material-/value-preserving reprocessing can be found at www.a-k-i.org, link to "AKIBrochures", "Red brochure".
