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.

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".
