9 Sterilization 9.1 Before the cable is used • Sterilize the cable before use. The cable is reusable and supplied non-sterile. • Choose either steam autoclave sterilization or ethylene oxide sterilization. Use only one method for sterilizing a specific cable. • Once a sterilization method is chosen, use only that method for sterilizing a specific cable. • Cables are reliable up to 25 cycles.
9.2 Before sterilization • Verify that the cable was thoroughly cleaned before sterilizing it. Failure to properly clean the cable could lead to inadequate sterilization. • Verify that the cable is completely dry before sterilizing it. • Do not sterilize the cable in its original package. The original package is not suitable sterilization packaging material. 11
English
• Use an acceptable method to determine the effectiveness of the sterilization cycle, such as biological indicators. • The sterilization instructions have been validated by the manufacturer of the medical device as being capable of preparing a medical device for reuse. It remains the responsibility of the processor to ensure that the processing, as actually performed using equipment, materials and personnel in the processing facility, achieves the desired result. This requires verification and/or validation and routine monitoring of the process.
9.3 Steam sterilization 1. Place the cable in a suitable autoclavable packaging material (for example, wrap or pouch). 2. Sterilize the cable in a steam autoclave sterilizer programmed to one of the following sets of parameters: Table 1. Steam autoclave sterilization parameters Cycle type Exposure time Temperature Dry time Option 1 Dynamic air 4 min 132°C (270°F) 20 min Option 2 Dynamic air 3 min 134°C (273°F) 20 min Option 3 Dynamic air 3 min 135°C (275°F) 20 min Option 4 Dynamic air 18 min 134°C (273°F) 20 min Option 5 Dynamic air 30 min 121°C (250°F) 25 min Option 6 Dynamic air 7 min 132°C (270°F) 15 min Do not exceed the maximum values of contaminants in condensate from steam, as applicable per ISO 17665 series. Notes: • Medtronic qualified the steam cycles in Table 1 using a Getinge steam sterilizer model 533LS and steam permeable packaging material (STERIKING part number SS5A 7.5 in x 13 in EO/steam permeable pouches). The sterilant used was moist heat. The minimum dry times were qualified using vacuum drying capabilities. Drying cycles using ambient atmospheric pressure may require longer dry times. Due to variability in sterilization systems, contact the manufacturer of your sterilization system for more information regarding procedures. • Any medical device that has been in contact with a patient known to have or suspected to have a prion or prion-related disease, such as Creutzfeldt - Jakob disease, should not be returned to Medtronic and should be quarantined and processed per the guidelines for processing devices contaminated with high-risk tissue at the health care facility.
9.4 Ethylene oxide sterilization 1. Place the cable in packaging permeable to ethylene oxide (for example, wrap or pouch). 2. Sterilize the cable in a 100% ethylene oxide sterilizer programmed to the following parameters: 100% EO cycle Medtronic recommended process parameter Conditioning Conditioning time of 30–35 min at a temperature of 45–55°C (113–131°F) with relative humidity of 55–85% RH and a pressure of 8–14 kPa (1–2 psig) EO exposure Exposure time of 177–183 min at a temperature of 45–55°C (113–131°F) and a pressure of 55–75 kPa (8–11 psig) with a gas concentration of ≥500 mg/L Post-vacuum pressure 20–30 kPa (2.9–4.4 psig) Aeration Minimum aeration time of 12 hours at a temperature of 44–56°C (111–133°F) Note: Medtronic qualified the 100% ethylene oxide (EO) sterilization cycle using a 3M 100% Steri-Vac 5XL EO sterilizer and XL aerator; EO permeable packaging (STERIKING part number SS5A 7.5 in x 13 in EO/steam permeable pouches). The sterilant and concentration used were 100% ethylene oxide. Due to variability in sterilization systems, contact the manufacturer of your sterilization system for more information regarding procedures.
9.5 Visual inspection After the cable is sterilized, visually inspect the cable and connectors: • Repeat the cleaning and sterilization processes if the cable is not clean. • Do not use the cable if it appears damaged.
