Manual Cleaning Procedure Refer to Point of Use Cleaning Procedure. No additional cleaning necessary. Proceed directly to Automated Cleaning Procedure (section 5) or Inspection/Storage for Sterilization (section 6) per facility requirements.
5.
Automated Cleaning Procedure Ensure first that the Point of Use Cleaning Procedure is completed and then perform the following steps to process the handpiece. Note:
a) Due to the potential for accumulation of particulate and bioburden residues in the washer-disinfector water reservoirs, it is the surgical facility’s responsibility to properly maintain the equipment and their associated filters to ensure the introduction of contaminant-free solutions into the handpieces. b) This automated cleaning procedure provides a method for effectively processing up to three (3) handpieces at a time. c) The temperatures and cycle parameters below will not cause damage to the product. d) Do not wash the handpieces with non-ophthalmic instruments.
Step One:
Prepare the washer-disinfector with multi-purpose injector per Operator’s Manual. Use an ISO 15883 compliant washer-disinfector. The use of a typical automated washer-disinfector and wire basket is depicted below. Note: Use de-ionized water only. Required materials: • Detergent with pH range of 8.5 to 9.5 • Organic acid neutralizer with pH range of 3.0 - 2.6 • Adaptors and silicone tubing, e.g. Customized Auto Wash Kit: Alcon REF 8065750456.
Step Two:
Set detergent and neutralizer dispensers as recommended by detergent and washer-disinfector manufacturer.
Step Three:
Program washer-disinfector to have the following automated cycle: • Main wash at a minimum of 55° C for 10 minutes (dispense detergent as recommended by detergent and washer-disinfector manufacturer). • Neutralizer for a minimum of 1.5 minutes (dispense neutralizer as recommended by detergent and washer-disinfector manufacturer). • Rinse for a minimum of 5 minutes at 22-27° C then drain. • Repeat rinse for a minimum of 5 minutes at 22-27° C then drain.
