Automated Cleaning (with Thermal Disinfection)
Use cleaning equipment that has been validated as effective and meets the performance requirements of ISO 15883-1 or the relevant country-specific version thereof. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions when preparing the cleaning solution. Automated Cleaning validation was performed with Neodisher MediClean Forte 0.5% (Dr. Weigert GmbH & Co.). CAUTION! Risk of scalding when loading/unloading the device. Wear gloves. NOTICE! Thermal disinfection should be performed only with products that are labeled as autoclavable. NOTICE! Automated cleaning can cause color-anodized or plastic components (e.g. standard rings and the eyepiece of the telescope) to fade. This will not impact device performance. Place the devices in an automated washer/disinfector. When loading avoid rinsing blind spots. Instruments with lumens must be connected to suitable connectors of instrument trays or of the automated washer/disinfector to

High Level Disinfection (HLD) CAUTION! Only perform HLD with cleaned, rinsed, and dried products. Cleaning agents and organic matter residues may have a negative impact on disinfection results.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions when preparing the disinfection solution. HLD validation was completed with Cidex OPA (Johnson & Johnson). NOTICE! Damage resulting from rough handling. Telescopes contain glass rods that are extremely fragile. Handle the device with care. Do not bump or bend. Set down with care. Stage I: Disinfect Verify the disinfection solution has an acceptable concentration using an original Cidex OPA test strip. Fully immerse all used parts of the completely disassembled device in the disinfection solution for at least twelve (12) minutes. All accessible surfaces must remain immersed in the disinfection solution throughout the entire disinfection time. Make sure that there are no air bubbles in lumens or cavities or adhering to the device’s surface. Stage II: Rinse Thoroughly rinse the device by immersing it completely in a large volume (e.g. 2 gallons/8 litres) of sterile water for at least one (1) minute.
