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 General risk factors associated with surgical procedures are not described in these instructions for use.
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.

Clinical use
2.1
Areas of use and limitations of use
2.1.1
Intended use
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 pre-cleaning 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. 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.ak-i.org, link to "AKI-Brochures", "Red brochure".
The retraction system Münster is used in stomach and vascular surgery as well as gynecology.

Note The user is obligated to report all severe events in connection with the product to the manufacturer and the responsible authorities of the state in which the user is located. Notes on surgical procedures It is the user's responsibility to ensure that the surgical procedure is performed correctly. Appropriate clinical training as well as a theoretical and practical proficiency of all the required operating techniques, including the use of this product, are prerequisites for the successful use of this product. The user is required to obtain information from the manufacturer if there is an unclear preoperative situation regarding the use of the product.
2.2.2
Sterility
The product is delivered in an unsterile condition. ► Clean the new product after removing its transport packaging and prior to its initial sterilization.
2.3
Application
WARNING Risk of injury and/or malfunction! ► Prior to each use, inspect the product for loose, bent, broken, cracked, worn, or fractured components. ► Always carry out a function test prior to each use of the product. It is possible to position several valves on the ring in almost any arrangement desired. The system is self-adjusting and used with octagonal and round notched rods. When using the octagonal notched rod 8, the surgeon adjusts and positions the system. The fixation clamp BV838R, when combined with the octagonal notched rod, prevents the valves twisting and being levered out. ► Steadily increase the application of force using the octagonal notched rod 8 and round notched rod 6 in 5 mm steps. This avoids the tissue being overextended. ► In order to reduce the force, activate the locking lever 2/4 of the fixation clamp 3/5, see Fig. 9.
Preparing for cleaning
► Disassemble the product immediately after use, as described in the respective instructions for use.. ► Disassemble the product prior to cleaning, see Disassembly. ► Open up product with hinges.
3.6
Disassembly
► Unscrew the round notched rod 6, octagonal notched rod 8 and valves from one another.
Note The locking nut of the safety pin cannot be removed from the notched rod (loss prevention device). ► Pull the locking lever 2/4 from the fixation clamp 3/5. ► Remove the ring whilst leaving the sleeve 1 open, see Fig. 1.
