Validated reprocessing procedure

7.1

General safety notes

Note Adhere to national statutory regulations, national and international standards and directives, and local, clinical hygiene instructions for reprocessing. 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.

Operation

WARNING Coagulation of patient tissue or risk of burns for patients and users from hot application part/tool! ► Cool the tool during operation. ► Keep product/tool out of the reach of patients. ► Allow the applied part/tool to cool down. ► When changing the tool, use a cloth as a protection against burns. WARNING Risk of infection from aerosol formation! Risk of injuries caused by particles coming loose from the tool! ► Take appropriate protective measures, e.g. watertight protective clothing, face mask and protective goggles, suction extraction. WARNING Risk of injury and/or malfunction! ► Always carry out a function check prior to using the product. WARNING Risk of injury when using the product beyond the field of view! ► Apply the product only under visual control. Operation of the applied part is only possible if:

■ the applied part is released, ■ a foot control or manual control is connected.

6

7.

Note Mechanical reprocessing should be favored over manual cleaning as it gives better and more reliable results. Note It should be noted that successful reprocessing of this medical device can only be guaranteed following prior validation of the reprocessing method. The operator/reprocessing technician is responsible for this. Note If there is no final sterilization, then a virucidal disinfectant must be used. Note See also B. Braun eIFUs at eifu.bbraun.com for up-to-date information on processing and material compatibility The validated steam sterilization procedure was carried out in the Aesculap sterile container system.

7.2

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 neutralizing agents or basic cleaners may result in a chemical attack and/or fading and the laser marking becoming unreadable either visually or by machine. 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 damage to metallic products. These must be removed by rinsing thoroughly with demineralized water and then drying. Perform additional drying, if necessary. 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: ■ 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 surface and could cause corrosion ► For detailed information on hygienically safe and materialfriendly/careful processing, please refer to www.a-k-i.org Header "AKIBrochures", "Red brochure".
