PLEASE READ BEFORE USE Failure to follow these instructions could render the device unusable and void any warranty. Device Description CUDA® SURGICAL fiberoptic cables are designed to deliver maximum light when coupled to a medical grade fiberoptic light source. CUDA® SURGICAL fiberoptic cables can be used with quartz halogen, metal halide, or Xenon light sources. They are compatible with virtually all endoscopes, medical instruments, and microscopes. Intended Use This device is designed to illuminate a surgical site by relaying light from a fiberoptic light source onto the desired site. CUDA® SURGICAL cables are medical grade, high transmittance, peak efficiency. NOTE: The style of cable suitable for a given lightsource can be determined from the table below. Standard Cable X

Adverse Events We have no knowledge of any adverse events with this product. Cleaning and Sterilization of Fiberoptic Light Guides Cleaning Fiberoptic light guides for endoscopes, microscopes, and surgical instruments are high quality optical devices. They require similar care to that taken for any precision optical component. After each use, the light guide should be washed and cleaned of all debris. A soft brush and mild detergent should be used to clean the device. Pay particular attention to any crevices or seams. Avoid any harsh materials or detergents that can scratch or in any way damage the optical surfaces on each end of the light guide. ST Technologies recommends following the guidelines contained in ASTM F 1518-00 “Standard Practices for Cleaning and Disinfection of Flexible Fiberoptic and Video Endoscopes Used in the Examination of the Hollow Viscera.” Although written specifically for endoscopes, much of it applies to light guides. Steam Sterilization (Autoclave) The cycle selected is dependent on equipment and hospital protocol. General guidelines are: METHOD
