• Do not allow prolonged exposure to excessive moisture or immersion of handpieces in any liquid above the recommended level as stated in the user manual for your system. Do not soak handpieces in any liquid for longer than the recommended period of time as stated in the system user’s manual or chemical manufacturer instructions for use. • Avoid rapid and extreme temperature changes as well as lengthy exposure to direct sunlight or a strong ultraviolet light source. HANDPIECE INSPECTION
GUIDE
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Before use, inspect the following areas of the handpiece: • Handpiece body including the shaft, handle: inspect for cracks, abrasions, or evidence of impact. • Strain relief and cable assembly: check for cracks, cuts, tears, abrasion, kinking or crushing. • System connector: check for foreign objects, broken latches, or bent pins and shielding. • Cable assembly: check for discoloration or inflexibility of the handpiece cable or strain-relief. HANDPIECE CLEANING AND LOW LEVEL DISSINFECTING These generalized cleaning instructions are indicated for use with SCOUT Multiple-use Handpieces. Cleaning is the removal of all visible soil or contaminants from the handpiece. All handpieces must be cleaned after every use and is an essential step before disinfection is attempted.
DESCRIPTION TThe SCOUT® Console, SCOUT® Guide (Multiple-use Handpiece) and SCOUT® Reflector are accessories to the SCOUT Surgical Guidance System. The SCOUT Multiple-use Guide is a nonsterile medical device that, when used with the SCOUT Console (available separately), provides control operations for detecting the SCOUT Reflector (available separately) within soft tissue or biopsy site. The system employs micro-impulse radar and infrared (IR) light technology to detect the presence of the SCOUT Reflector, which is placed into soft tissue of biopsy site prior to the procedure. The SCOUT Console provides the Radar signal to the Handpiece along with power for the infrared light source. The SCOUT Multiple-use Handpiece delivers the Radar signal and IR light into the soft tissue or biopsy site and in turn receives signals reflected back from the SCOUT Reflector. The SCOUT Console processes the reflected Radar signals to provide the physician with an audible and visual indication when the SCOUT Reflector is detected. INDICATIONS FOR USE SCOUT The SCOUT Reflector is intended to be placed percutaneously in soft tissue (>30 days) to mark a biopsy site or a soft tissue site intended for surgical removal. Using imaging guidance (such as ultrasound, MRI, or radiography) or aided by non-imaging guidance (SCOUT System) the SCOUT Reflector is located and surgically removed with the target tissue. The SCOUT System is intended only for the non-imaging detection and localization of the SCOUT Reflector that has been implanted in a soft tissue biopsy site or a soft tissue site intended for surgical removal.
1. After every procedure, ensure that any obvious contaminants are completely wiped off the handpiece. 2. Use a moistened soft cloth or wipe (CaviWipes®) to remove any remaining contaminants or gross debris that remain on the handpiece or cable. Do not re-use cloths or wipes. Disinfectant wipes should be used in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Merit Medical is not responsible for damage incurred during the cleaning process for products in which no material compatibility evaluation has been conducted. Note: CaviWipes have been tested for compatibility with the SCOUT Multiple-use Handpiece. 3. For use as a low level disinfectant, use a second CaviWipe wipe to thoroughly wet the surface. For best results the surface should remain visibly wet for 3 minutes at room temperature (68oF/20oC) 4. Use a lint-free soft and clean dry cloth or wipe to thoroughly dry the handpiece and cable. Notes: Cleaning products other than those described in the previous section (CaviWipes) should be as close to neutral PH as possible. Any, cleaning or disinfectant products containing concentrations surfactants, methanol, ethanol, benzyl or methyl alcohol, bleach, methyl or ethyl paraben, polyethylene glycol, mineral oil, lubricant oil, oil based lotions, acetone, ammonia, anhydrous ammonia, iodine, iodine compounds, acids with 5PH or lower may damage or discolor the handpiece. The use of any type of brush is not recommended as bristles may damage the distal end of the handpiece. Ultrasonic cleaning is not approved for SCOUT Multiple-use Handpieces. Warning: Disinfectant wipes and topical spray products are not FDA-cleared, high-level disinfectants. These products do not provide adequate protection should the handpiece become cross-contaminated or in contact with unhealthy or non-intact skin. HIGH LEVEL DISINFECTING The following provides instructions for performing high level disinfection of SCOUT Multipleuse Handpiece with Cidex® OPA.
CONTRAINDICATIONS • Not intended for connection to any other device or equipment. Only for use with the SCOUT Console and SCOUT Reflector. WARNINGS • SCOUT Multiple-use Handpiece contains sensitive electronic components. Do not crush or subject cable to tight bends. • SCOUT Multiple-use Handpiece is designed for use only with the SCOUT Console and SCOUT Reflector. • Handpiece operates by emitting infrared light from the distal end of the Handpiece. Do not point an active Handpiece at eyes. • Cross-contamination risk: Handpieces with cracks, abrasions or tears may harbor dangerous contaminants or tear protective sheaths used with the handpieces. Do not use handpieces with any signs of damage. • Electrical leakage risk: Non-hazardous voltage is present during normal handpiece use. • If the patient has an internal or external active cardiac implant, contact the cardiac implant manufacturer for instructions before using the SCOUT system. The micro-impulse radar signal may interfere with the intended function of the cardiac implant. • Do NOT use if the package is open or damaged. CAUTIONS
1. Clean the handpiece and cable according to the procedures in the “Handpiece Cleaning and Low Level Disinfecting” section. 2. Ensure minimum effective concentration (MEC) of the Cidex OPA using Cidex OPA test strips. 3. Equilibrate a water bath of Cidex OPA to 20°C. 4. Immerse the handpiece into the Cidex OPA as shown in the image. Do not immerse the connector, cable or cable strain relief. Ensure all air bubbles are removed from the surface of the handpiece with a syringe filled with the disinfectant to remove all air bubbles. 5. Allow the handpiece to soak for 12 minutes. 6. Thoroughly rinse the handpiece by immersing in pure water (PURW), agitating and allowing to set for a minimum of 1 minute. 7. Repeat the previous step two more times for a total of 3 rinses using a fresh batch of PURW each time. 8. Dry the handpiece using a sterile lint-free cloth.
