Material Compatibility Before performing pre-cleaning, machine or manual cleaning procedures make sure that the listed substances are not ingredients of the cleaning or disinfecting detergent: • organic, mineral, and oxidizing acids (minimum admitted pH-value 2) • strong lyes (maximum admitted pH-value 12, neutral/enzymatic cleaner recommended) • organic solvents (for example: acetone, ether, alcohol, benzine) • oxidizing agents (for example: peroxide) • halogens (chlorine, jodine, bromine) • aromatic, halogenated hydrocarbons For manual removal of impurities during pre-treatment and cleaning processes only use a soft brush or a damp lint-free cloth. Do not use metal brushes, hard brushes or steel wool for cleaning. Pay attention to the instructions of the cleaning and disinfecting detergent manufacturer regarding concentration and soaking time. Only use freshly prepared solutions. The cleaning and disinfecting detergents shall possess a fundamentally approved efficiency (for example FDA accepted or CE marking), be suitable for the disinfecting of the product and be compatible with the product itself.
1.7. General Prerequisites CAUTION! The products must be completely reprocessed before use. The products must not be used if damaged. Use cleaning and disinfection machines that meet the requirements of ISO 15883-1. Service and inspect these cleaning and disinfection machines regularly. Fill the cleaning and disinfection machines so that all the contents are fully rinsed through and cleaned. There must be no "rinsing blind spots". • When pre-treating, do not use fixing temperatures in excess of 45 °C. !
• • • • • 2
• Follow all the cleaning and disinfecting detergent manufacturer’s application specifications regarding temperature, concentration, and contact time. • Adhere to national statutory regulations, national and international standards and directives, and the infection control practices that are in place at your institution for reprocessing. • Note that the optimum and most reliable reprocessing results are achieved using automated cleaning and disinfection with subsequent steam sterilization using the fractionated vacuum procedure. • Ensure that the sterile components fit tightly on the devices.

5. Sterilization 5.1. Steam sterilization parameters The user is responsible for ensuring that the sterilizer used fulfills the following sterilization parameters: Cycle type Temperature Temperature for US Holding time Holding time for US Pulse Drying time
Fractionated vacuum process 134 °C (273 °F) 132 °C (270 °F) 3 minutes (effective sterilization time) 4 minutes (effective sterilization time) 4 At least 30 minutes
Procedure 1. Validated sterile barrier systems: Pack the product in sterilization pouches. Note for US: Use only FDA cleared pouches. 2. Load the sterilizer according to the validated loading plan, and observe the manufacturer's specifications and instructions for use for the sterilizer. 3. Start the sterilization cycle in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and instruction for use for the sterilizer. Use validated parameters for steam sterilization specified above. 4. Remove the product from the sterilizer. 5. Ensure that the product remains sterile after reprocessing. General suitability of the devices for effective steam sterilization was certified by an independent, accredited testing lab using the sterilizer Euro-Selectomat (MMM Muenchener Medizin Mechanik GmbH, Planneg) for the fractioned vacuum method. The method described was used.
5.2. Reusability ! CAUTION! You may re-use all reprocessable products (asepsis) up to 250 times or 2 years, whichever applies first - provided proper care is taken and they remain clean and undamaged. This was verified using an alkaline cleaning agent. Furthermore, there are currently no test results available. Slight changes in color may occur, but do not impair the function. The user is solely responsible for each use beyond the defined sterilization cycles or use of damaged or dirty reprocessable products. Failure to observe these instructions nullifies liability.
6. Disposal Incorrect disposal contaminates the environment! If the product is improperly disposed of via domestic waste or via municipal waste disposal services, pollutants will enter the environment. • Do not dispose of the product as normal municipal waste. • For disposal, also observe the legal provisions applicable in your country and the hygiene regulations of the doctor’s clinic or hospital. Contamination due to incorrect disposal! If the product is not reprocessed prior to disposal, germs will enter the environment. • Be sure to reprocess the product completely before disposing if it.
