Powering Down the System Press the Power button on the front of the console. The touchscreen will go dark. Do not unplug power cord until system has powered down.
Cleaning the System Electric Shock Hazard - Always unplug
WARNING the CUSA Clarity System before cleaning it. NOTE
Product damage may result if you do not follow the
CAUTION instructions described in the cleaning section.
Never spray any cleaner directly onto the touch screen.
Cleaning the Console, Touchscreen, and Cart surfaces 1. Unplug the power cord from the wall receptacle and the console. 2. Clean the surface with a lint-free wipe soaked with one of the following: • 70% IPA • Super Sani-Cloth® • Sani-Cloth® Bleach 3. Make sure the surfaces remain visibly wet for a minimum of two (2) minutes, then air dry.
WARNING Do not allow fluids to enter the console. 4. Clean the wheels at the base of the system cart to ensure that the four anti-static wheels function correctly.
NOTE
5
Make sure that the surface of the wheels is free from dirt and dust. Make sure that the surface is completely dry before using the system again.
Cleaning the Handpiece, EUT, Sterilization Tray, and Torque Base The handpieces, extended use tips, sterilization tray, and torque base may be cleaned by either the manual cleaning or autowash cycle process prior to sterilization. For Sterilization Parameters, see “Sterilizing the System” on page 8.
Manual Cleaning Use the provided cleaning brush to clean out the internal channels of both the handpiece and tip. Continue to pass the brush through the tip and handpiece until it comes out clean.
NOTE
Do not submerge the handpiece cable connector.
1. Clean the exterior of the handpiece and tip with a lint free cloth soaked with warm water and a non-alkaline detergent. 2. Use the cloth to manually clean the junction where the tip attaches. 3. Rinse the entire handpiece and tip thoroughly with water and dry with a soft cloth.
Cleaning Brush The CUSA Clarity Cleaning Brush is intended to be used primarily to clean the internal pathways, as needed, of the CUSA Clarity handpiece following use, during the manual cleaning process or as the first step of the automated cleaning process, just prior to autowashing. The CUSA Clarity cleaning brush is provided non-sterile and is not intended for use in a sterile environment. It is intended to be used and stored only in the reprocessing unit of the healthcare facility.
Automated Cleaning: Before automated cleaning, use the provided cleaning brush, dipped in cold tap water, to thoroughly clean the internal channels of the handpiece and tip. Continue to pass the brush through the tip and handpiece until it comes out clean. Rinse the exterior and interior of the tip in cold running tap water for 30 seconds. For initial exterior cleaning of each component, prepare a cleaning solution using a neutral or mid-alkaline detergent in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Using lint-free cloths soaked in the prepared cleaning solution, wipe clean each component. • In a Steelco DS50 DRS or equivalent washer /disinfector: • Perform a prewash cycle of 5 minutes at 43°C. • Perform a cleaning cycle using a mid-alkaline pH detergent (pH 10.0 – pH 11.5) for 10 minutes at 60°C. Prepare the detergent solution according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. • Perform a disinfection cycle for 10 minutes at 93°C. • Dry for 20 minutes at 55°C.
NOTE
Do not clean the sterilizer tray with abrasives. Product damage will result.

Integra® CUSA® Clarity – Ultrasonic Surgical Aspirator System Cleaning Instruction Guide Cleaning the Footswitch 1. Disconnect the footswitch from the console. 2. Wipe it clean. 3. If the footswitch is contaminated with blood or fluid: a. Immerse the footswitch in warm water containing detergent or disinfectant. b. Rinse the footswitch with clean water.
NOTE
Do not submerge the footswitch connector.
4. Allow the footswitch to drain after rinsing.

Sterilizing the System Packaging the Handpiece and Components for Sterilization The handpiece and components need to be packaged for sterilization. Integra provides a 23 kHz and 36 kHz sterilization tray for each of its corresponding handpieces The provided trays are intended to protect the CUSA Clarity Handpiece, EUT, and Torque Base during steam sterilization and during transfer to the sterile field. The handpiece and components must be cleaned prior to sterilization, see “Cleaning the Handpiece, EUT, Sterilization Tray, and Torque Base” on page 6.

CAUTION Do not sterilize flues with temperatures in excess of 134ºC (273.2°F) as this may damage the flue.
The figure to the right illustrates the endpoints of the steam sterilization cycles that have been validated to achieve effective sterilization. Cycles that fall outside of the shaded gray area have not been validated.
Sterilization Time (min)
Sterilization Temperature (°C)
The CUSA Clarity handpieces and components can be effectively sterilized with alternate cycles between the ranges of the validated sterilization cycles outlined in the tables above. If an alternative sterilization cycle is used, it is recommended that the reprocessor ensures use of FDA cleared sterilizers and accessories for the alternative sterilization cycle.

Integra® CUSA® Clarity – Ultrasonic Surgical Aspirator System Cleaning Instruction Guide Sterilizing the Handpiece and Components with Steam Sterilizing the handpiece with steam depends on the following factors: • Temperature • Exposure time • Population and resistance of resident bioburden • Method of air removal from the autoclave Use the validated steam sterilization cycle parameters in these instructions. If you deviate from this recommended method of sterilizing, it is your Health Care Facility’s responsibility to validate the deviation. For sterilizing the handpiece with steam, do not exceed 137°C (278.6°F). Do not use sterilization methods involving temperatures in
CAUTION excess of 137ºC (278.6°F) as this may damage the handpiece. Do not sterilize flues with temperatures in excess of 134°C
CAUTION (273.2°F) as this may damage the flue.
