These reprocessing instructions are provided in accordance with ISO 17664, AAMI TIR12, AAMI ST79, and AAMI ST81. While they have been validated by Stryker as being capable of preparing the device for re-use, it remains the responsibility of the processor to ensure that the reprocessing, as actually performed (using equipment, materials, and personnel in the reprocessing facility), achieves the desired result. This normally requires validation and routine monitoring of the process. Stryker recommends users observe these standards when reprocessing medical devices.
Intended Use of Sterilization Trays Sterilization trays are plastic and/or metal containers used to hold and protect surgical devices during the sterilization process. They consist of an interlocking tray and lid, which are both perforated to allow the passage of sterilizing agent from outside the tray to the devices placed inside. Sterilization trays typically feature silicone device holders that secure devices during the sterilization process. Some models feature stacking internal trays to allow the segregation of devices. 2
Warnings • These instructions are validated only for sterilization of the trays identified herein. Using combinations or parameters not described in this manual may result in incomplete sterilization. • These instructions do not replace the cleaning and sterilization instructions provided with individual devices. • Wear appropriate protective equipment (gloves, eye protection, etc.) when reprocessing any medical device. • The tray must be cleaned prior to sterilization, or incomplete sterilization may result. • The sterilization tray, its lid, and any internal components have been designed and validated for use as a single system. Do not separate components from the system, for use individually or in combination, or incomplete sterilization may result. • Inspect the tray and its components for visible damage, such as cracking or chipping, prior to use. Do not use the tray if it is damaged. • The endoscope video cable must be arranged inside the tray as shown in the “Sterilization Tray Setup” section. Incomplete sterilization may result if the cable is arranged in any other configuration.
Cautions • Before lifting the tray assembly, verify that the latches connecting the lid to the tray are secure. • The tray is not designed for use as a shipping container. To avoid damage, remove all devices and pack them separately.
Limitations on Reprocessing
• Proper processing has a minimal effect on this tray. End of life is normally determined by wear and damage due to use. • Do not leave the tray in solutions longer than necessary. This may accelerate normal product aging. • Damage incurred by improper processing will not be covered by the warranty.

Instructions
Instructions apply to the sterilization tray only. For instructions on how to reprocess the devices, consult their respective instructions for use.

Use of Latches
• To open the sterilization tray latch, push in on the release lever (as indicated in the diagram below), then pull out and down. • To close the sterilization tray latch, push in on the release lever (as indicated in the diagram below), then return the latch to the up (locked) position. Once in the up position, push in on the center of the latch to ensure it is fully locked. • Before lifting the tray assembly, verify that both latches connecting the lid to the tray are secure.
Point of Use
• Wipe excess soil from the tray using disposable paper towels. • If an automated cleaning method will be used, rinse the tray in sterile distilled water immediately after use.
Containment and Transportation
• Reprocess the tray as soon as reasonably practical following use. Note: A 30 minute wait time was used during cleaning validation.
Preparation for Manual Cleaning
1 2 3
4 1
Disassemble the tray into its individual components: the base and the lid. Wipe excess soil from the tray using a dry, clean cloth. Prepare an enzymatic detergent solution1 according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. Immerse the tray in the solution, ensuring the solution contacts all inner and outer surfaces of the tray. Soak the tray for a minimum of 15 minutes.
Cleaning was validated using ENZOL® at 1 oz/gal. at 37 °C.

Manual Cleaning
1
Brush • Thoroughly brush the tray with a soft-bristled brush, focusing on mated and rough surfaces. • Using a pipe cleaner and syringe, brush and flush the hard-to-reach areas of the tray. • Brush around all movable parts while moving them through their extreme open and closed positions.
2
Rinse • Remove the tray from the solution and rinse it with water2 at ambient temperature until all visible detergent residue is removed. • After all detergent residue has been removed, continue to rinse for a minimum of 30 seconds. • Drain any excess water from the tray and dry it using a clean, soft cloth. Filtered pressurized air can be used to assist in drying.
3
Soak • Prepare a non-enzymatic detergent solution3 according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. • Immerse the tray in the solution, ensuring the solution contacts all inner and outer surfaces of the tray. Use a syringe to inject any mated surfaces with at least 50 mL of the solution. • Soak the tray for a minimum of 15 minutes.

Brush • Thoroughly brush the exterior of the tray using a soft-bristled brush. • Use a syringe to inject any mated surfaces with the prepared solution a minimum of five times. • Using a pipe cleaner and syringe, brush and flush the hard-to-reach areas of the tray. • Brush around all movable parts while moving them through their extreme open and closed positions.
5
Rinse and Dry • Remove the tray from the solution and rinse it with water at at ambient temperature until all visible detergent residue is removed. • Flush all lumens, crevices, and mated surfaces at least five times. • After all detergent residue has been removed, continue to rinse for a minimum of 30 seconds.
6
Dry and Inspect • Drain any excess water from the tray and dry it using a clean, soft cloth. Filtered pressurized air can be used to assist in drying. • Visually inspect the tray for cleanliness, paying close attention to hard-to-reach areas. If visible soil remains, repeat cleaning.
1
Rinse • Disassemble the tray into its individual components: the base and the lid. • Rinse the tray with treated water4 at ambient temperature until there is no visible soil. Use a syringe to assist in rinsing.

Disinfect the tray in a disinfecting solution that has ≥ 2.4% glutaraldehyde as an active ingredient.7 Prepare the solution according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Immerse the tray in the disinfecting solution for a minimum time of 45 minutes at 25 °C. Thoroughly rinse the tray by fully immersing it in treated water.8 Agitate the tray and allow it to remain in contact with the water for a minimum of one minute. Repeat two additional times, using fresh treated water for each rinse. Dry the tray with a sterile, lint-free cloth immediately after rinsing. Filtered pressurized air can be used to assist in drying.9
